.38 Special
Today is my thirty-eighth birthday. Here's what thirty-eight looks like: gray and white hairs and all.
Pretty hot, huh? You'll be happy to know that I trimmed the jungle-like stalks of nose hair before I took this picture. I'm not sure I remembered to trim my ear hair though. They do say memory is the first to go.
I alternate years of wanting to celebrating my birthday and not wanting to celebrate. I'm not sure why that is. Last year was a big celebration with lots of people. This year I haven't wanted to commit to any plans at all. It's not that I'm not looking forward to my birthday or getting older. It's just I don't feel like making a big deal of it.
But there is something I will make a big deal out of. A couple months ago, I decided it time to stop being a lazy excuse maker and start getting healthy. I'm getting old and shit's already started falling apart. I don't need to speed up the process with my bootylicious curves.
To date, I have lost twenty pounds. ZOMG! Did you hear that? 20 POUNDS! I feel pretty good about it and am noticing a difference in how I feel and how some of my clothes just hang on me. It's a pretty frickin' awesome feeling.
By the way. That shirt I'm wearing. Haven't been able to wear it for a year.
Pretty frickin' awesome.

Thanks Karen!
I love wildly inappropriate sexual comments Geggie! Now that we don't work together, it's no longer sexual harassment.

I ordered you that International Male swimsuit with the mesh pouch thing that you've been wanting so bad. It should be showing up at work any time now.

Thanks Daniel!
Homer: Hopefully it will arrive with an international male in it.

Happy Birthday. I too have lost 20 lbs and completely understand and share your joy. I did low carb allowing beans and fruit. I can now OCCASIONALLY eat anything and not gain. But there's still another 20 to lose.

Enjoy the day, it's ALL about YOU!

Yowza! If you weren't sexually repulsed by me, I'd jump you in a minute. I hope you have the best birthday weekend ever! Make sure you do something really embarrassing on Saturday!

Well, I already got you on MySpace but a happy birthday here too! And congrats on the weight loss! I gather that's why you turned down the cupcake?

Sorry this is late, but Happy Birthday! I'll be turning 38 in about two months... at least I think I am. I can never remember my age. I always have to ask my partner how old I am.
