I know I'm 6 months older than one of my very dear friends so I will sometimes ask her how old she is and tell people to add 6 months. Age is just a number. I don't feel any different today than I did in my early 20s. It does go by so quickly. Granny was just 100, 2 years and 9 months ago!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327577.post-42673342145845099242008-01-16T17:59:00.000-08:002008-01-16T17:59:00.000-08:00I'm not sure what kind of happy pills these people...I'm not sure what kind of happy pills these people are popping...I always remember my age and despise it now that I'm OVER 30. see, the OVER just can't help but be written in all caps.

And then when it was my actual birthday, everyone was really confused and thought I was turning 26.

Now I have to remind myself of my own age. Although, I don't think my forgetfulness is due to sunny beaches and falling mangos. Although that would be nice. Maybe I should buy a mango tree to sit under.Xteenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982633381388894789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327577.post-47256886719097105212008-01-15T10:37:00.000-08:002008-01-15T10:37:00.000-08:00I always forget how old I am.

And I'm not very good at math, so that doesn't help me much.<BR/><BR/>Look at it this way: You're so much smarter and wiser than you were in your younger years! And you've earned that wisdom! And that wisdom can be represented in a number! That makes it a GOOD NUMBER.<BR/><BR/>I was at a dinner with a bunch of people the other night and somebody started the age questions, and I was quick to answer that I'm 31. And of all the seven other people at the table, only one other person didn't a) coyly lie about their age or b) cringe when they told the truth. That is weird to me.<BR/><BR/>Oh, wait. What I meant to say was "happy birthday, Nordic Boy!"

I have no idea why. Perhaps it makes getting older seem easier when I've already been saying I'm that old. But this year I'll be 40 so I probably won't be doing that.
