Becoming 80

It's happening... slowly, surely, and I love it! I am now a member of 3 Book Clubs, a knitting club, and a quilting club. I pepper this with a bit of kickball, occasional climbing (very occasional!), even sparser yoga and a LOT of grilling and pooltime. The result has me looking towards retirement in Boca very shortly!

Will's sister had her wee'un and I covet! I told him before it had even happened that I already had the fever and this was just going to make it worse. One little look at Emma and I was sunk! Fortunately, the only thing I want more than a baby is to have a baby with someone who actually wants to have one with me as well. I've never been the type to go all turkey baster on someone's ass..... But, this does not negate the loud ticking going on inside this 27's year old's body!

The summer is beginning splendidly! I am head over heels for a boy who is just as smitten with me. My dogs are growing up and becoming more mature and trustworthy every day. My job is GRRRREEEEAT! (to be read like Tony the Tiger) and I have never loved what I do more! I am reading up a storm and feeling like my brain might actually be returning to pre-drugged state. I've lost about 5 pounds (coming off birth control helps :)) and actually don't feel large and wolly mammoth like in a bathing suit. Got to go with my musical camrade Mike to see the National and was... like whoa... frikkin AMAZING... good gracious, can those guys rock?!?! Going to see the Decemberists on Thursday and have tix to No Doubt next Monday. Will loves Gwen Stefani's legs... but my personality.... boys....

Currently, I'm blogging before returning to my book by Chuck Klosterman, while being serenaded by Sufjan Stevens. Peace is on me.

Gonna Be a Long Night....

Will got an Xbox 360 and Guitar Hero for his birthday (from his fabo girlfriend). Practice commenced about an hour and a half ago and shows no signs of stopping :)
