Today is my 40th birthday. I have spent the last four decades climbing the proverbial hill. I thought by now I would have some vast array of insightful, incredible, ingenious words of wisdom to share with the world......But I guess I still must have much more climbing to do, because I certainly have not arrived at any of those things.
In all honesty, this blog is a life-threatening coercion from my friends who seem to think that I don't do a very good job of keeping them updated about my life. They got a little irate simply because we added a new 15 year old son to the family without even mentioning the possibility that this may occur. Some friends.
So from this point forward, I promise to do my very best to keep this blog updated.....Annually. Oh wait, I meant daily, really I did.
The life-threatening coercion didn't scare me so much (not at all) from 8 hours away, but yesterday these amazing friends showed up unannounced at Texas Roadhouse to surprise me for my birthday weekend. So here I am (I won't mention at gun-point), starting a blog. Now I'm scared. Very scared.
I had planned to spend my day frivolously shopping at the mall, a few hours at the spa, complete with dinner at my favorite restaurant....Ha. But no, I turn 40, and I have to sit here on the floor of my living room creating this blog. Life is so unfair.
OK, enough complaining. Truly I am not easily surprised, and when my friends showed up, I could not believe they were truly here. I'm kinda excited to start this blogging adventure, maybe they'll stay off my case about keeping up with it. Yeah right. Well, this post has to end, because I have to go celebrate being old.
