thirty five.
i did it. well, almost…
thanks to cadillac ranch at national harbor.
the bull was broken – way to go girl with stilettos!
i will be going back this weekend to ride the mechanical bull.
we did have our own set of cowboy boots.
regardless, it was a beautiful day. really just sweet and happy.
lots of flowers and i mean lots.
i was spoiled by so many friends and family and showers of love!!
just wait for all the fun this weekend with jamie – the fabulous wife of john.
p.s. i have turned my work phone off for the whole weekend. eek!

you know you’re old when…
the very attractive,
really nice looking,
hot,
male airline attendant/steward calls you “ma’am”.
i only find this acceptable when i’m in uniform and i was not.
*sigh*

amen.
just read.
don’t ask unless we tell.
this is my philosophy for my soon to be married friends and my friends that “are” having kids too!
so on a side note…
yesterday was exactly a month until the big 3-5.
*sigh*
i have to say i’ve had the bit of the birthday blues.
just about everyone i know when on a trip -
mom, tony, marla, erin
i should have been in egypt but that didn’t happen – let’s not go there.
then my race got postponed due to my neck injury. boo.
which also means i am not going to see jasmine or becky’s new baby boy.
boo.boo.
i miss my minnesota friends dearly.
and do i dare admit i’m having baby envy?
btw, neither of those are related.
then there is my dating life.
one word: sucks
i know a typical single girl statement?
well, not if you had my experience in the last 48 hours.
so, why does reflecting back on my life
- turning 30 in vegas and now getting ready to hig 35 in dc -
seem so, well, just so, strange? messed up?
i think birthday are realtively fabulous!
they celebrate the life of a person
but when it’s yours…
and the world tells you that you haven’t “done” what you should have by now
it can make you wonder what really defines happiness.
i can’t lie and say i don’t worry – it’s part of my nature
ya, i wish for different things some times too – especially when work stinks
i guess that makes me human?
but, when i lay in my bed at night and look out at the city…
i drive up to my mom’s house and get a twinge of excitement to see her…
get a voice mail from jasmine…
or get an insane voicemail message from my brother…
i know that i am happy
that i’ve been bless
and most importantly
it is all going to work out how god has planned.
the only thing i need to have is a little patience?
i’m sure that’s what my mom would say.
the count down to 35
or should i say
the new and exciting chapter for change has begun
so…

old man.
12 years ago my dad passed away, my mom remarried, moved to shepherdstown, west virginia and sold the family home.
i was traumatized. didn’t handle it well. not my finest moment but cut me some slack as it was a lot to handle.
i’ve always lived away from home. not because i don’t adore, love, and find my family entertaining but simply because that’s just how it ended up. moving to dc in may gave me a fabulous little gift – i am a hop, skip and jump from my mom and her husband jim.
jim is old school, solid, quiet, a retired teacher, air force vet, and football coach (still!).
he makes my mom happy, so i’m happy. plus, he makes me laugh and likes to tease me. i love him.
jim has coached football in west virginia for years. yes, years…many, many years.
nearly every time i’m at the house, he’s on the computer working on plays.
since, i’ve been around more i have been able to spend time with jim that i wasn’t able to in the past. we bond over fox news, packer and riggins, my mom, and the military (he likes to call me captain litt).
i too have a little nick-name for him.
i fondly call jim, “old man”.
see, the famous vince lombardi was called the “old man” by his players. for them it was that he was “the quintessential father-figure coach, starting at us, pushing us…” (when pride still mattered by david maraniss). i may not be one of jim’s football players but since my dad is gone, jim’s my man. he isn’t my dad, has never pretended to be or wanted to be (in a good way of course) but he’s taught me through his actions and his spirit – keeping me honest – reminding me that his home is my home.
i’m grateful to him and am glad i was able to spend his birthday with him.
happy birthday, old man. here’s to you and many more years to come.

ahhh, the memories. i have so enjoyed them.
it’s great to have a friend that you can count on.
one that know the great things about you
but can laugh with you about the things you’d rather forget.
one who you can sit across the table and root for opposite teams
but walk-away better than you walked-in (i rooted for hanie to score at least once!).
enjoy the next 35 and don’t worry my day is coming.
xoxo
