Disco-Rama-Momma

As most of you know, Danny (with the immense help of Sue and Bill) threw me a 70s Disco party to celebrate my 40th birthday. The decorations were amazing, complete with disco ball and groovy wall paper. There was a 3.5 hour playlist that had everything from Earth, Wind & Fire to David Cassidy to ABBA to Bee Gees to Neil Diamond. There wasn't a groove that was missed. The food delicious with a homemade chocolate ice-cream cake. There was pin the afro on the Disco Diva Jacqueline and YouTube videos projected on the wall with 70s dance moves. Farrah showed up and so did a chick from "Good Times." There was a lot of blue eyeshadow and the outfits were "Far out!"

The only thing that was disappointing was the low show rate. I did not expect out of towners to be there (and was thrilled by the ones who made it). It was a lot of the "local" turkeys that didn't make it. I am struggling with trying not to take it personally, but those thoughts are for another post.

The love I did get from the crew that showed up was awesome and there was plenty of laughs, silliness, singing, dancing to go around. There also seemed to be enough afro to go around to. Thanks to you all for the Good Times! We did not get home 'til 2:30 am.

How Appropriate

We are going through the Bible in 90 days at church. Going through means reading, but I have been listening to it on my iPod as I walk with the dog, do housework, etc. I am a week behind, but I just wanted to say how appropriate it is that as I have had to face the traumatic experience of turning 40 and grieving the loss of my youth, I started the book of Lamentations today.

Oh, ha, ha. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?

No Comment

It is my 40th birthday. Enough said. I don't care if 40 is "the new 30." I ain't 30, I'm 40. I'm not being graceful about it and I can't pretend I'm not a single bit vain about it. I'm not going to apologize about my bad attitude. I know, a real shocker for you......

In any case, my hubby took the day off and made it wonderful despite the number. He treated me to a yummy dinner at a Spanish restaurant Tasca Brava in a trendy part of town. Thanks to the rest of you for emails and texts and calls to express love.

UGHHHHHHHHHHH.............. I'm forty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
