   Turning 35

This Thursday March 17th, I’m turning 35, and there seems to be something almost mystical about the number - and the birthday - to me this year. Maybe it’s because I’ll be halfway to the Biblical three-score and ten mark. Maybe it’s the looming “middle age” moniker. I don’t know but I hope I don`t look much different than this pic taken today, when I turn 45… :)

But turning 35 means if anything, at least I’m not alone. It seems that a lot of others have felt something similar - a need to somehow mark this 35th year somehow….

35 Great Things About Turning 35  *I am updating as I think of things, which is why it`s not completed*  :)

1. I’m eligible to run around town as a `cougar`  meow.
2. I can now look at the wrinkle cream cause IM going to be MIDDLE of AGE
3. Having a daughter at age 17 makes me seriously everyday, feel younger and it reminds me even on the shittiest day, to laugh and be silly no matter who tells you that you’re “too old to be acting that way”
4. I’m due a shiny-new, super-fast, sleek sports car in a bad ass pink color that makes even the straightest of men want to touch..*IN MY OWN NAME*
5. It sure as hell beats turning 95  *presents are out of the question*
6. I can still touch my toes. *without cheating, heavy breathing AND with my legs still straight, I might add*
7. Any occasion that encourages cake and gifts is a good occasion. *more so the presents tho but cake is always good but everyone knows, cheesecake is waaaay better :)
8. When I see a light at the end of a tunnel, I don’t automatically assume it’s a train..I just assume the angels are just soo anxious to have me join them but I know they understand I do things on MY OWN time.. :)
9. I’m eligible to run for President even tho I probably won’t ever just because I never have before and whomever is in office is bound to screw shit up anyway regardless of who I choose and I have my own life to screw up ..:)
10. I only THOUGHT I was sexually peaked…it only gets better as you age  *whispering: thank you,god* heehee

11. I don’t even look close to being 35 WHATEVER that would look  like..again: shout out to God for the youthful genes….keep ‘em coming, baby

12. I thankfully have lived for 35yrs with no diseases, broken bones or STD’s ever…I`m not sure a lot of people can actually say that :)

13. I made it to 35 and haven’t had to call for a family intervention…yet.

14.  I am not only considered a “cougar” now…I am a BROKE ass Cougar but I think we all know it’s not about the money, right kiddies?  :)

15. If looks get better with age…yeah, who am I kidding I’ve never seen a pig fly either…..

16. I get carded everywhere I go…when did they start checking ID for happy meals anyway?

17. I can choose to be either a mom or enroll myself into the same school as Ashley since they always think I am there to do so anyway :)

18. I didn’t have to have another baby in order for Ashley to fit in with everyone else who has siblings..I can just walk along side her and people just “assume” we are sisters

19. Her friends love taking rides with us since they know my music that is blaring is more than likely a tune they are into at that moment also…too loud?  too bad…*parents usually never talk to me after I say that” :)

20. 35 yrs of my life, yet I can only remember maybe 10 of them.. ..

21. 35yrs of the same questions/responses:  HAPPY BDAY…where do you wanna go for dinner? :)
