I Spent My 60th Birthday In Vegas!

Six months ago I asked my husband to take me to Vegas for my 60th Birthday.

I didn’t want to be in town when I turned 60.

I didn’t want to turn 60.

Actually turning 60 wasn’t so bad.  Quiet and uneventful.

I had a nice time in Vegas.  We went with Steve’s nephew and his wife.  Her birthday was on April 25. 

We walked over 25,000 steps each day.  My legs are sore.  I called in today.  Tired.

The pics below are the night and day view from our room.

We like to sleep with the drapes open.  Or I do.   I love to watch the night sky and the lights. 

Well I’ve been 60 for 2 days.  It’s been good.

I’ll let you know how the rest of the year goes.

60th Birthday Party

Yes, it’s mine.

Tonight.

Not that I’m wanted it.  I told my sister and my mom that I didn’t want one.

I don’t really want to turn 60.  I’ve been bummed out for the last four months.  I’m not looking forward to turning sixty.

Which is in 9 days.

But after thinking about the party thing I decided to let them give me a party.  I figured they were going to do it anyway.

And they were.  They had something  planned. 

And they were super excited that I was letting them.

My only request was a pool table so we could shoot pool. 

And I’m not getting drunk. I probably won’t drink at all.

I have to admit I’m a little excited.

I didn’t want it, but I’d rather see my cousins at a bar than at a funeral.

I’m having breakfast alone this morning at my favorite restaurant feeling darn lucky that I have family and friends I can spend my birthday with.

And I’m contemplating what is yet to come.

Maybe my sixties will be good…..

After all it’s better than the alternative.

My Author Dream

I have always dreamed of being an author.

To be like Danielle Steel.  To have a lot of cash.  A big house.

And write a million books.

To go to author signings

To be popular.

I don’t know why I remembered this today, but I did.

Isn’t that scary?  Not in a bad way, but in a good way.

I think I know why.  

In a couple of days, after I have time to think about this, I’ll share my thoughts. 

31 Books Gone.

Today I dropped off 24 books at the bookstore where I get credit towards future purchases.

Like I need anymore books right?

I dropped off 9 at the EBay store. I hope they sell.  I didn’t take a picture.  These were 9 of my favorite books.  They were part of the Elf Help series.  I loved these books.  A cute take from elves on self help.  I wanted to keep them, but there are other books I want to keep more.

If they don’t sell……I’ll deal with that when it happens.  I’ll probably keep them.

I don’t know what the total to let go of is, but I’m getting there.

And it feels great not to have these books in my office floor.

I’ll start thinking about the next batch in a couple days.

The more I let go of the harder it is to let go more.

I Funally Shreaded A Couple

I shredded a couple of journals.

A couple of weeks ago I decided I would just shread my journals

I didn’t have to read through all of them.

I am done with them.  I don’t have save them.

I think I have worked through the issues in the journals.

I emptied the shredder into a garbage bag.

Here’s what I have so far.

What a nice way to start 2025.

Back Up Valentine’s Day

I went to Target yesterday to see Christmas cards being replaced with Valentine’s Day cards.

WTF?

It’s not even 48 hours since Christmas.

Why are they cramming Valentine’s Day down our throats already?

Can’t we relax and enjoy the Christmas season for a little while longer?

Be thankful for family and friends.  look at our gifts under the tree.  Enjoy our tree and decorations. 

Maybe just relax after Christmas.

No.  Instead we have to rush into the next holiday.

Which is total crap and ot totally pisses me off.

Valentine’s Day needs to wait til after New Years Day to come out.

I hope you enjoyed Christmas because we are by passing New Year’s Eve and jumping right into Valentine’s Day
