Forty Four things about me... If I can think of that many??
1. I am anxious about being 44
2. I wasn't about 40, 41, 42, or 43...
3. 44 just seems
4. weird & older- not old-

8. I am deeply in love with my husband
9. He is my very favorite person to be with always
10. He is my whole world & my greatest joy
11. I'm obsessed with cooking tools & products & cookbooks & electrics & dishes & it's getting ridiculous especially since I work at Williams Sonoma!
12. I love laundry & ironing- except I can't get caught up here lately. I proposed a NO CLOTHES day to help with the catch up--- no one went for it. cowards.
13. I also LOve fabric & I feel extreme guilt buying it when I have so much already.
14. Fabric-- it sucks me in-- right now I want/need some Sarah Jane by Michael Miller!!!
15. I could possibly be a vegetarian if it weren't for fast food cheese burgers or the ribs I learned to make in my new pressure cooker-- oh man, they are to die for!
16. probably the best present I ever gave myself-- for my 40th birthday I gave myself permission to stop going to public swimming pools. My life is better for it.

18. I have the world's best friends
19. I LOVE being a mom & my kids - THEY ROCK!!
20. We are not perfect & I wouldn't even want to be anyway- which kind of makes them perfect.

22. And... made me realize just how much I Believe.
23. Having grand babies in my life is 100% beautiful.
24. I love to hear my kids make music.
25. and watch Chloe dance.
26. One of my favorite things is to listen in on Trent singing - a new occurrence- it's awesome.
27. I can make bubbles on my tongue.

29. I refused to get physical therapy on my broken ankle (3 years ago) and now I have a permanently fat ugly ankle.
30. I can be really stubborn & that is not a good thing.
31. I wonder if I am doing what I was meant to do with my life?

35. But at the same time- I like myself just the way I am.
36. Until I have to get dressed... blah
37. I don't like ice cream but I make up for it with my love of GOOD cake.
38. I love to shop at Costco- especially on Saturdays. The crowds & samples- love it.
39. I collect fiesta ware- all different colors- but my serving ware is all RED.

Happy happy birthday mom! I love the idea of no clothes day--I busted up laughing when I read that. This is going to be a good year!
Hold on, stop the presses...you like going to Costco on Saturdays, you liked the crowds and the samples?!!! I'm going to have to process this information and re-evaluate things.
I hope you're having a great birthday!!
Hope you had a great day....lunch was way yummy....sorry for the meeting place mix up. I am glad Brett was able to arrange being home for the BIG DAY!!!
Happy, Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing it with us:) love ya!
Happy Birthday! I love to read your blog. It is so refreshing that people are so normal. I love that you love your husband, it is such a wonderful experience and not everyone gets to have a wonderful relationship with thier spouse and it makes me sad for them. I love hearing about your kids. I remember when you lived here in WA and we spent time together it was so fun. I still cut my cheese the way I saw you do it 20 years ago! Happy Birthday!
i have better friends than you - because YOU'RE one of them! :)
happiest birthday patsy girl - i love you!
Wait... you don't like ice cream?! But do you like the homemade ice cream? I am totally a cake person, too. I do not understand people who don't like cake. (Unless all they know are mix cakes.)
You LIKE going to Costco on Saturdays? That blows my mind.
I am so cracking up about the no clothes day.
#8-10 are so very sweet. You are both so lucky!
I hope you had a wonderful birthday indeed. If it helps at all, I think you are a very young 44!
