*43* Is the oldest I have ever been.

 

The old believe everything; the middle aged suspect everything; the young know everything.

Oscar Wilde 

I no longer know everything, and I am starting to suspect everything.  Especially readers who never comment.

*sigh*

Another birthday.

It’s not all balloons and rainbows. Or maybe it is.

I realize 43 is not really old. Unless you are 20.

Peeps who are older than 43 will say: 

Oh, you’re still a baby, stop whining.

It’s my party, let me wine whine.

My plan for today. A yummy and indulgent Lunch with a girlfriend {fish tacos!}  and we usually share a banana split too.  Bananas are healthy. 

Linds has dance line tonight at the football game, so no fancy- dancy dinner. Hot dog du jour.

Maybe we will jet off to Las Vegas in the morning. Or just sleep. I am worried about my love of sleep lately…we are really getting along.   Just writing about it makes me want to nap.

I need to find a legal way to get more pep in my step. More pizazz in my azz. More zip in my zap.

I loathe tiredness. My Unborn twin has not been extracted, so perhaps she is sucking up all my energy? Yeah, lets go with that. It is HER fault.

So who is going to party this weekend FOR me????

Remember I like good food, good wine and pretties. All sorts of pretties. The shinier the better. :)

Happy weekend!

Bee happy. (I really am)

Bee peppy. (I wish I was)

Bee sweet. (I have that all wrapped up!)

  1. Happy Birthday sweet lady! Fish taco's with a friend sounds great. And a high school football game and seeing your daughter perfrom later sounds good to me. I hope whatever else comes into your day is as wonderful as you are Suz. Today I celebrate you...I will have an adult beverage in your honor later today! :) XXXX

  4. oh suz...I will be right there with you in a few years...my kids already think I am from the "olden days" are they kidding...argh. Sorry about your twin, I know that must be excruciating especially when the down in the dumps are visiting (quoting JM)

  6. Happy Birthday to you, happy Birthday to you... Wishing you the very best on your birthday and for the next year. May all your dreams come true! And no, 43 is not old, I'll be 41 in one week so I think we're both still spring chickens. Even though we might be a bit tired sometimes...

  14. I suspect that you're aging better than that twin. Now I'm going to clean my kitchen in your honor. I've been waiting all morning or week to do it but had no motivation. See? Your birthday is producing good things already.

  15. Happy birthday!

    And no, I totally think 43 is old.

  16. I love the Wilde quote. It's too true.
    Happy birthday to you! I hope 43 makes you feel zippy. 43 sounds really young to me...

  17. :))) HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVELY! :)))

    Call me crazy, but I LOVE hotdogs at games! its one of my favorite things in the whole world!

    If I didn't have to drop Aidyn off at his dads, I'd be heading to my old stomping grounds to watch the game tonight.

    Hope you get some pretties, and your family loves you all up! Enjoy your day!

  18. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUZ!!!!!! (Can you hear how loud that is?) Sometimes, our hearing gets a little dimmer with age (but after listening to some REALLY old people, I can see why it may be best NOT to get a hearing aid - no need to listen to everything that's being said!). ANYWHOO, it's your day, and I wish you all of the energy that you feel is lacking, a super-duper lunch and banana split (that might make you want to take a nap), and FUN tonight at the game.
    Seriously, I hope your doctor can give you some insight and help with your tiredness. Is your thyroid being checked? xoxoxo

  19. happy birthday honey!!! you are still young... the body may age and fall apart but its the soul that keeps us young. at least thats my philosophy...

    love and hugs,

    chris

    ps

  25. Happy Birthday Suzanne! Sounds like it will be a good day and evening with friends and family. Love the picture of baby Suz too!

  26. Had to delay my comment to run down to the wine cellar and bring up a special bottle of wine so I can celebrate your birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and have a great weekend.

  27. Happy Birthday!!!

    Is there really any other way to really celebrate a birthday then a high school football game with your daughter performing on the field? Well, maybe, but I'll go with NO! Enjoy it! And I will be at our high school football game, although, mine is no longer performing, but I feel it is appropriate to celebrate your birthday with you. And maybe there will be a toast or two after the game!!
    Have a wonderful weekend Suz!

  28. I hope you are having a very wonderful birthday. Hot dog du jour and Linds' line dance sounds like a great way to celebrate.
    For the record -- we don't believe everything!

  29. I'm a reader who never comments. I can't remember how I found your blog. I think you are hilarious! So Happy Birthday!

  30. Happy Birthday Suzie Q!!! Yup, you're still a baby compared to some of us.Seems like only yesterday...Never thought I'd feel/be so old. Patrick & I are living it up in Boston, so I'll have a few (more) twin lobsters for you and perhaps a BahamaMama too(he's driving!)!! Again, best wishes for a wonderful 43rd. God bless you mucho.x-c

  31. I celebrated for you today. I went for a lovely day out and shopped, had a very delicious lunch followed by a sinful dessert. I LOVED celebrating your birthday.
    You may enjoy the rest of it for yourself. You're welcome.
    :-))

  32. Happy belated birthday!
    I hope it was a great one!! And no, you're not old! I'm 20, and I don't think 43 is anywhere near old.

    If anything, you only get wiser and more mature with time, which is always a good thing * w *

    Happy bday!!

  35. PS: My favorite phrase to use with the kids now that I'm 43 is "... back when I was your age, when the dinosaurs were still roaming the Earth...."

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh, I'm so glad I popped in today!!

    BONNE FETE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! and may the celebration last all year long sweetie!

    43 is the new 29, you know. ;-)

    ps: are you taking your B vitamins?

  37. The forties are still a great decade. You aren't supposed to start feeling run down until after 50. I get to see what 60 will bring next year. The other decades haven't bothered me but I am not crazy about this one. . . . . . am praying the source of your tiredness is discovered so you can hopefully correct it soon. Try journaling your food and drink intake as well as your hours of sleep and see if there is a pattern - - - or culprit.

  38. Happy Birthday!!!

    Your little kid pictures are always adorable.

    Fish tacos are one of my favorites, my mouth just started watering a little.

    VEGAS! DO IT! :D

  39. Happy Birthday to you!!! Sorry it's a day late!!! I hope you celebrate all weekend, nay, all year long!

    I disagree with Oscar Wilde on the first part. I think, the older you get, the less you realize you know. Me? I. Know. Nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Perhaps everyone else is so tired they find commenting to exhausting! Hope those fish tacos went down well- not something I have ever had, and not something you will find ( easily if at all) on a UK menu. Yum.
    Hope you had a great birthday Suz and thanks for your visit to mine.
    Love Jo ( 45 yrs) XX

  47. Sorry I missed your birthday. Hope you had a good one. I didn't realize (or remember) we are only a few months apart in age. I turn 43 in Dec. I love the age we are. I just love it.
