Party like it's 1999 for my 50th Birthday

And no one threw me a surprise party – my hubby just delivered a big cake to my work. I would have liked a little more pomp and circumstance and hullabaloo over this one. So…we’ll try again!

this day came and went….and I did not have a party – very sore subject in my house right now.

My hubby and kids did not help me clean house, so it’s still a pigstye. But he didn’t think to rent a place out either.

So, several of my friends at work said they would have a party for me at their houses.

I’ll see what I can do on this front – but it may be after school, when we can all let down our hair.

Am I celebrating????

15 days left…...

I’m not even organized yet….

oh well…..

one month away now…..

one month and 12 days left, people! Hey, Uncle – you going to come help us party for my big milestone? I need some livening up here!

Why Older Chicks Rule by Andy Rooney from CBS “60 Minutes”...

This is for all you girls 40 years and over…. and for those who are
turning 40, and for those who are scared of moving into their 50’s…AND
60’s…and for guys who are scared of girls over 40!!!!

Andy Rooney says:

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are
just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask,
“What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.

If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit
around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it’s
usually something more interesting.

A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,
what she is, what she w! ants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40
give a hoot what you might think about her or what she’s doing.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with
you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course,
if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you, if they think they
can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what
it’s like to be unappreciated. A woman over 40 has the self-assurance
to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will
often ignore even her best friend because she doesn’t trust the guy with
other women. Women over 40 couldn’t care less if you’re attracted to
her friends because she knows her friends won’t betray her.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a
woman over 40. They always know.

A woman over 4! 0 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not
true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over
40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off if
you are a jerk, if you are acting like one! You don’t ever have to
wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately,
it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman
of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of
himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize for all those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you
can get the milk for free.” Here’s an update for you. Now 80% of women
are against marriage, why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying
an entire pig, just to get a little sausage.

I have to work up the stamina!

now some of my g/f’s want to party in my new travel trailer…hmmm…might have to have a summer get together! Anyone camp – come join us! I’ll make a women’s retreat out of it – you just cannot puke on my new upholstery – that’s the number one rule! :-)

to get ready!
