The Mystery of getting older.. I LOVE BIRTHDAYS!

SOOO... About birthdays! I had one yesterday. Actually, I have a birthday week and
depending on who you are to Me, maybe a birthday MONTH. I love birthdays! And to celebrate that I'm going to post a few funny pics My young friend in Austin, Texas sent Me.


I really enjoyed the celebrations this week. finn got into the program sending Me cards every day with cash in them. I'm not sure which I liked better, the excitement of getting all that mail or the cash, either way it was a great idea and he did a great job of finding funny cards.

I loved My party at the Palace when camisha was Dj'ing. We all had so much fun dancing and hopping around there. If any of you are curious go to www.temptationradio.com and start listening. desima made a set of rooms just for Me, full of daisies and boys and girls and all My favorite things. Tosca and ahren made Me the cutest lil virtual bear with My name on it and I've been keeping him sitting around at the palace. He had an interesting ride on top of camisha's back the other day.

My friends were calling from all over the US and Europe so there are wonderful renditions of happy birthday on My cellphone which I am listening to over and over. My son in law to be sent me birthday wishes along with a spoof website for PETA which sent me into orbit because that acronym stands for People Eating Tasty Animals. My housemates took Me out to dinner last night and it's always wonderful to have a great night with good friends. Charles gave Me presents as well.. but I think I'll keep THOSE to Myself.. lol.

I think the whole age thing is just so fascinating. In the looking young department, I'm aging well and I like to remind My daughter that she needs to thank me for her good genetics. I think part of that is because I'm "curvy" and that layer of fat holds up the frame better.. lol

Concerning the state of mind issue.. well there's the interesting story worth some time thinking about. You see, I'm still in My twenties in My mind. It's a great mix of having the experiences of life so I don't do stupid stuff anymore but with the wonderful quality of appreciating all the new things life has to offer and not getting "stodgy".

I know the submissives and Dominants probably get sick to death of My constant
reminders not to call Me Ma'am but it fits right in with My feelings about how important it is to stay young in your thinking process. I don't want to EVER EVER get "stodgy" and I consider the honorific Ma'am, "stodgy" or as I'm also fond of saying... "FRUMPY" GOD FORBID I should ever be FRUMPY. I swear I'll be primping on My death bed asking if I look ok to die.

The other good thing about staying young is that it didn't get stuck in some past decade. Music and styles of the day continue to interest Me and I am not judgmental about them. I admit to thinking that My generation ( I am a late boomer) had the best influx of true genius in the musical and political platforms but that is because it was heavily infused with milestones. I'm a big fan of Emenem and the Killer Bees and so many others. I'm a little pissed off about young women today not keeping up the work My generation started for them but I figure when enough rights get taken away they will wake up and get busy.

I get along really well with younger people. My best friends are all younger than Me. As I was writing this, I realized that I only have one friend that is older than Me and that's My housemate downstairs. He's also young at heart so he doesn't really count. I think that I seek them out because I'm most comfortable with people who have not settled into some kind of habitual mode of living. And of course.. there is Charles who will celebrate his 31st birthday next Monday and we are 20 years apart.

Charles and My friends say that it's really rare that we ever feel a gap in our ages. I find them full of energy and interesting company and they find Me someone fun to be around and I suspect a kind of rollmodel of sorts for growing older.

So, I guess I'll go on loving birthdays and never getting any older.. It's the only way to enjoy life I think.
