Chapter:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEE

Yup, it’s the big day – I’ve hit the big 2-0
Scared? You should be.  I am no longer a child, or a teenager. I am a fully fledged adult and you better watch out ’cause I’m going to take the world by storm…or something.

Now I think is the time to openly make hopeful goals for the next 20 years of my life so here goes:

  1. I will get a book published
  2. I will learn how to make profiteroles
  3. I will buy a house
  4. I will visit Europe

That will do for now – don’t want to overload myself. Though I am open to suggestions to extend that list.

Yesterday was a day full of dessert, I ate very little else. There was pavlova and birthday cake and honey wafers with lemon curd and more pavlova and little teeny tiny muffins. And today there are more little teeny tiny muffins filled with home made lemon curd and deliciousness. More than enough sweetness to wash away the bitter taste of growing old. Not to mention good company to keep my mind off it.

Now tonight – as a birthday treat I’m allowing myself to go back to dancing. This may or may not be a good idea. I do not think I will last the evening, but I’m going regardless. Even if it means sitting in the corner and watching – I’m still doing it!
