8.3 Thanks, Twinks - I was actually starting to feel more like the Grim Reaper doing a buck-and-wing through the thread LOL.

8.4 I can believe that 39 will be more difficult because I had a harder time with 29 than I did with 30. But I am already on Prozac so maybe I'll have an edge.

1. When I turned 40, I felt for the first time that I was finally a adult, one to be taken seriously. 2. Now I'll be 47 in a week, and I'm not so sure I like how fast 50 is sneaking up on me, and at this point in my life, I could almost give a rip if was taken seriously or not. Strange how that works. 3. And, I'm on Prozac too, have been for a month. The doctor doubled the dosage a week ago, and I tell you what, I am beginning to feel like I'm bipolar, the way my moods keep flip-flopping. 4. Yesterday, I was in a deep black whole, today I'm happy and content. 5. I watched The Departed last night. I think I'm going to buy the DVD, it was good. 6. I've been spending a lot more time here than I have in the past couple of years, and I'm trying to make more posts. 7. Jim said he has sent me my birthday present via DHL, and I should get it tomorrow. I suspect it is a teapot that we both spied at this little tea shop last month, and he wanted to buy if for me then, but I said to wait til my b'day. 8. This is the teapot I hope he sent:
9. My daughter is going to cook me a lovely dinner next Saturday for said b'day, and hopefully Jim will be able to make it here for that, then I'll go home with him on Sunday... just praying the weather in the pass is calm and no snow or ice. 10. My hair is getting really long, and I am loving it, but it's harder to color, because I have to straighten it first with a flat iron. Soon, I'll have to use 2 boxes to color it. The amount of gray hairs I have is downright scary.

1. This is my first time posting in this thread, although I have read it and loved it for a long time. 2. Today is my 50th birthday and it was a lovely day. I got some wonderful things from my much-loved family and friends, including a scrapbook from my mom...all my childhood photos with dates and names. 3. I hope I can keep coming and not have to come up with too many facts, 'cause I get scared to think of that many things...or maybe not LOL 3

1. I'm still around, just haven't had much to say lately. 2. My sis and bil announced several weeks ago they are pregnant. Couple days later she called and asked me to pick my niece up, sis was sick and going to the doctor with what she thought was an urinary tract infection. Long story short, after spending all day in urgent care and then ER and worrying bout an ectopic pregnancy, they determined she had a severe kidney infection and tears to her uteruas. Baby is fine, but they put her on bedrest. Friday she had another appt and they told her she could get up and move around, but she's not supposed to do anything or be on her feet too often. Since they've already labelled this a high risk pregnancy, she'll be seeing the dr every two weeks for now at least. 3. Kids are doing good. Report cards come out this Friday and both have pretty good grades according to their progress reports. They start spring break March 19 I think, but both of them will be going to intercession the first week...Kota for reading and spelling, Caleb for some test prep for the state/federal testing coming up after break. 4. Darren's still working way too much, but he's taking a vacation day next week to go on a field trip to see an Imax movie and maybe the science musuem if they have time with Caleb's class. Caleb's excited his dads taking the day off work to go with him, Darren's excited that Caleb wants him to go, and I'm thrilled I don't have to go because IMAX movies make me sick.

1. Yay an update or two! I love updates. 2. I spent most of the day Saturday working with my bro, sil, niece, her boyfriend, ds, mom and dad preparing the invites for the folks 50th anniversary/vow renewal ceremony. 3. I wasn't looking forward to all that family time, but it was actually fun. I ended up staying until 10pm. 4. My quiet office should be quiet for one more day. Most of the staff will be in tomorrow. 5. Can you tell I like my alone time? lol 6. We are going to have another bright, lovely day with a high of 73 today.

1. Kaili, my sis and the baby are doing good. When they did an ultrasound to check, baby's heart rate was strong and he/she looked good. The tears will heal, but she has to be very careful and has already been told she won't be able to lift anything or do anything too physical. 2. The first couple weeks were really hard on her. It's better now that she can get out of bed and off the couch even though she can't do much. 3. I was noticing the other day that she's starting to show much earlier than she did with her first two. With the girls, she was wearing her regular clothes well into her sixth month (just rolling down the top of her jeans under her belly because she was ALL belly!) She had to go buy some new clothes last week because she had nothing that fit. 4. Darren got a performance based raise today. They go anywhere from nothing to $1.25 an hour and I'll just say he came home with a big ole grin on his face, lol. 12 hour work days, six, sometimes seven days a week, always willing to go in in an emergency, rarely calls in sick, and he's surprised he got a good one! 5. Dakota came home from school today with a new social studies project. She has to create a diorama of western (cowboy) life and has decided she wants to have a jail as her central point. I about fell over laughing. All the things she could think of to do and she decides on a jail. 6. Caleb is gearing up for his last few months of elementary school. The biggest thing right now is talk about the 5th grade ditch day trip. They're going to Six Flags Magic Mountain and he's worried about the trip because he doesn't like roller coasters yet doesn't want his friends to know this. Personally I think he'll be surprised to find out how many people don't like them, but I know at 10 it always feels like you're the only one and you're going to stand out if you don't like something. Darren and I are considering volunteering for the trip and offering to take the group of kids who don't want to do the bigger rides so that he can tag along with us (and blame us later for not being able to go off with his friends if needed, lol.) 7. I am loving this early spring weather. I kept the windows open all day and still have the back door open now. I know it's only temporary so I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
