Birthday Revolations

My birthday is tomorrow and I have the birthday blues a little and a headache that's been around since yesterday.

The only plans I have are to go to dinner with Cush and bake myself a cake (low fat diet cake which is actually pretty tastey) and decorate it with lemon icing dyed pink with food colouring and Barbie cake decorations.

That's right, I'm making myself a little girls cake.

I once read in a cat book (as you do when you are a kitty momma) that cats when domesticated and living inside enjoy a perminant state of kittenhood.

It's true actually, Superfluff is as much a kitten as he was when we got him.

I think the same is true of adults with no children. I'm enjoying a perminant state of teenagehood (for now anyway!).

I still feel like an 18 year old, still listen to the same music and still itch to wear Converse One Stars, bellbottoms and a cartigan. Believe it or not that was the height of style when I was a teenager. Think Curt Cobain, only on a girl.

According to this website, Curt Cobain was wearing black One Stars when he shot himself (or was shot depending on what you believe). Black was my colour of choice as well for One Stars. Well...isn't that a fun fact?

Anyway, I've been downloading music (that I have purchased) from the 90's because I feel super nostalgic for my younger years, stuff like Goo Goo Dolls, Filter, Collective Soul, Black Crowes, Better Than Ezra, Live, The Wallflowers...my goodness I think this is a trait of older people.

I'm hanging on to my youth through music.

What was it that was so great about the 90's? Maybe it's the skipped decade theory that every other decade is better then the one that came before and after it. Say what you will about 80's music, I don't like it.

Anyway, I'm not getting anything done that I had wanted to do today.

I did take a pair of sunglasses (that I bought in England so many months ago) to my glasses place to have the lenses replaced with perscription ones, and the ladies there who always remember me commented on how sexy I look!

Their words, not mine. I felt so flattered! They even asked me for weight loss tips.

Isn't that nice?

Sexy...I never thought of myself as sexy, but I guess that's the funny thing about how you will never see yourself as others see you. Maybe they were just being nice.

I think I'm just rambling now and Cush wanted me to bake him some cookies and I have some fruit that needs to be made into a salad and also I need to workout.

Officially 15 pounds to go before I hit my goal weight, but I suspect that will change for the worse after this weekend. I plan to drink this weekend, but maybe since it's been so long since I've had alcohol one glass will get me sloshed. Just a warning to my fellow birthday girl!

Still rambling....I'm off!
