I don’t share my work with you much,  but I thought I might as well jump in since
I’ve already spilled the beans today. I’ve had the privilege of working
with some fine folks that are also 50 this year. I used to be the youngest in the biz and now I’m
the “seasoned employee!” That’s what my boss calls me “seasoned.” HUM
P.S. I had no idea my desk was so messy! This is the sign of a woman with too many projects!
Below is a gallery so you can see what happened when I walked in the door this morning!
They were all waiting for me.

I’ve had nothing but cake to eat today! 🙂

Happy Birthday to Me~I’m 50

Today is my 50th birthday! I love birthdays especially mine! Even if I don’t do a thing it feels different and special.
I remember thinking I can’t wait till I’m older so people will stop saying,
“Wait till you get older, you’ll change your mind.”

Well now I am, not much has changed about me except, my expectations I gave those up!
I’m having cake for breakfast with my coffee cause I can, it’s my birthday! Alex had this beautiful card waiting for me on my computer this morning.

I’ve never been

a pink kind of girl

not a tomboy

but certainly no frills

no froo-froo

rarely caught in a dress

and ruffles are

strictly

NOT

allowed

But you,

you have me

finding pink

embracing it

Flowers kissed with a hint of pink

the blush of pink of a young girls cheek

fushia streaks across the sky

all around me I see pink

and I keep looking

for those pink trees, girl

Cause I know

when i spot one

you will be sitting beneath it

probably sipping

on a pink lemonade 🙂
