Spring is busting out all over... maybe not here.

I'm trying it again.  I never have any success growing anything.  Things start to grow, and sometimes flower, and then nothing, nada, zilch.  So here we go again.

So, I guess we'll see what happens.  If nothing grows, I will not be embarrassing myself with any further updates on this matter.  I will finally have to admit that my talents lie else where.

Official Countdown

Normally, I like countdowns... I mean, who doesn't?  Who doesn't like to see this?

 

My problem is this...

 

You know, the candles that are so hot that they melt the make-up of your face and induce hot flashes....

This is the countdown that I have dreaded for the last ten years.  

Now, we don't need to discuss the specifics of what new decade I am entering, but needless to say, it's one that as a teenager I thought was way, way in the future, and the people that were in this decade were SO, SO old!  So is it weird that there is such a big part of me that feels like I'm still 20?

I'm a little scared of this birthday, and I've never been scared of a birthday before.  I've never felt like I was really starting to get old before.  So, if you are looking for me on or around April 14th, you may have to look here...

 

and I'm afraid that if I get much older I'm going to look like this.
