Fill in the Blank Friday

It is Friday and I am pooped.  All you are going to get out of me tonight is the blanks.

1. The age I will be on my upcoming birthday is 40. Lauren at the little things we do wrote: "28. Even typing that makes me feel old". To that I say shut-the-front-door 28 is SO young. I feel like I have live a thousand lives since I was 28.

2. The best birthday present ever would be a vacation to somewhere European - London, Rome, Florence, Venice, Paris....

3. My favorite birthday to date was my 25th. I went with H1 to Salt Spring Island, stayed in a bed and breakfast, and went kayaking (the one and only time) in the ocean.  Even though it was with the turd of a first husband it was an enjoyable weekend and I did things that I would probably never do again, somewhere I may never go again.

4. Birthdays make me feel neglected. I always hope that someone will make as big a deal over me as I do over them.  This year was probably the best ever.  PITA, got me a gift for everyday of the week, and a card that made me bawl my eyes out.

5. The worst birthday I ever had was my 20th. My Granddad had just died and I was feeling sad.

6. When I was born I am not sure how much I weighted or how long I was, but I was born in Trail, British Columbia at 5:25 in the morning while my Dad was at work. Back in the 70s fathers where not necessarily there. Mine was not. The thing is that if I were being born this week, my Dad would probably still be at work when it was happening. That kind of thing makes him uncomfortable, sweet as he is. :o)

7. So far my favourite age has been 19 - thin, gorgeous (as all girls are at that age) carefree and living with three of my friends in a double wide trailer. Good times.  It was seriously fun. 30-35 was also pretty great. The last few years have been a little financially challenging, between that and CH's health it has been less than fun a lot of the time. Not to say that I am unhappy, just a little stressed.
