TODAY is D day!!
Thank Goodness because I was getting exhausted from all that swimming! After much rest and partying, I will continue my swim THROUGH my 50s rather than TO my 50s.
I better get the day started because I have to:
*Figure out 50 ways to leave my lover
*Unleash the “inner goddess”
in me and set my “hard limits” thanks to 50 Shades of Grey.
*I’ve got to figure out WHO the 50th president of the United States is.
* Watch my 50-5 inch TV
* Remember the 50th episode of Seinfeld
* Listen to Fiddy Cent
* Look through the 50th best asses in the world by, Elite Daily
http://elitedaily.com/envision/girls/asses-world/
* Say my ABCs, including the 50th letter
* Go 50/50 with you on any lottery winnings today
* Watch the 50 40 Year Old Virgin
* Dream about vacationing in the 50th State
*Not climb the 50th highest mountain in the world, Ismoil Somoni Peak
*Share 50 Scorpion Bowls with my fellow bday buddies like Mark Harmon, Keanu Reeves and… I guess I’ll invite my husband’s and Andy’s from
REAL LOVE
Salma Hayek (a beatch beauty)
*Dance to Brick House 50 times
And last but not least,
I think I will thank the heavens above for the wonderful life I have and the amazing friends and family I am so blessed with. For my beautiful and loving kids, my ok health and for the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with the man I so adore, who is my everything.
Thank you all for being in my life and for reading my silly words week after week.
Happy belated birthday! Hope the years ahead are all you wish for. Hugs

I have enjoyed this journey with you, Maria, and am very glad I got out of the wilderness in time to wish you a Happy Birthday on the actual day. I hope you’ve had as many gin and tonics as you wanted, and everything else was perfect. Here’s to the next fifty being even more amazing than the first.

Thank you Andra, my friend! You have endured many months of my whining to my 50s, LOL. I did a lot of things that made me happy this weekend (including g&ts) and a big fat juicy burger with bun – so I feel satisfied and ready to float through the next years – if I don’t drown from all the eating. I feel so incredibly blessed with everything I have and couldn’t ask for a better life! Glad you enjoyed your time in the woods. Thanks for being such a wonderful friend. 🙂

OH Jill, it’s finally here and finally leaving! I’ve had quite the busy weekend of yummy non gluten free foods, good music, dancing and eating some more. I did fill an ice tray and fold some laundry today by mistake and my husband reminded me that it was in my “will not do” list. I wore deo and flushed too! So far so good, it’s not as bad as I anticipated. Salma drank most of the Scorpion Bowl which was fine with me because she passed out on the couch and did not bother me. Thanks for your kind wishes! 🙂
