Yesterday was my birthday. And I've told my family that the best gift to get me is either cash or Apple Store gift cards.
There's not much I'm wanting in life. Usually, if I want it, I go get it.
But Iphone is a fairly substantial purchase. So, I'm saving up for it. I'm a little over half-way there.
So, for anyone thinking of getting a gift for yours truly, Apple Store gift cards are the perfect choice.
Pretty. Isn't it?
I dropped off my daughter with the sitter this morning and as I walked back to the car, I came to the realization that I am now half-way to 70. This really doesn't bother me. Really. We get older. I really have no problem with that.
The strange thing is that as I was walking back to the car I felt very much like a kid. Like a teenager. Which is, I guess, how I see myself. Much of the time anyway. I'm wearing jeans, a thermal with a printed tee over it, and red Converse One-Stars. I don't feel like I'm fighting growing up. I've pretty well got growing up under my belt. I've been married 13 years. Got a 2-year-old and another on the way. I'm fully "adult".
Do you get to the point where you actually feel "adult"???
I haven't gotten to that point yet. And I hope I never do.
I always feel like I've got more to learn. I know that I'm not the best at anything. There's always someone better. Sad, but true.
Some things have changed. Responsibility changes some of our actions and choices. I don't drive like I used to. Though I'm still more likely to pass than be passed... I spend less. I would rather be home with my family than just about anything.
But some things have not changed. I still feel like the goofy kid who was never fully in the "in" crowd, but not fully out of it either. I would still rather laugh. I still try to find the fun in any situation. 'Cause if it's not fun, I'd rather do something else.
So, for this still-goofy 35-year-old, I hope I always feel this way. 35, going on 19.
