40's are fun...photo blog of birthday fun!

The princess has arrived!!!

I love these girls!!!

OMGOSH!!! I'm getting my first serenade. It got mighty hot in that place...LOL

See? I'll share my crown. :)

Absolutely no one existed in the bar when he was singing to me.

And then he kissed me...

No clue what I'm thinking here but the "I dream of Jeannie" theme comes to mind.

Only with friends can you be stupid and they still love you.

It's all in the eyes...

My Sherri and me

Too much...

There are days I enjoy living my life. There are days I thoroughly hate it. Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I almost had a breakdown. Standing there in the aisle, I had to fight, with everything in me, to not start crying. Too much has been hitting me this month and I think I'm at the end of my rope. Beginning of the month, D's new wife sent me a text telling me to lose his number, email and address because I already had my chance with him. I laughed at the absurdity of everything she said in that text as it sounded like something a teenaged girl would write.

I'm more successful than I was told I would ever be. I'm not the loser bitch that I was told I was. I'm a good person with an "I have gone through hell" history. I am a woman who struggles with ea...

People who say they love you...

Life as I know it...
