Hey folks. So first off, this is being typed on my phone, so please forgive any spelling, gramma, and punctuation mistakes. Smartphones. Sometimes they are just not so smart.
So this past Friday was my birthday, the 12th. A whole 42 years old. It really didn't bother me, age is just a number. I don't feel older, ok that's a lie, today I feel like I'm about 60. Maybe 70. Anyhow, I don't get upset or depressed when a birthday passes. I joke about it, and say I want to go backwards in age or whatever but seriously it's all good.
So years sgo, and I mean like maybe 5 years ago, 3 or 4 years, I would have spent my birthday out with my friends, guzzling who knows what types of booze, throwing back enough shots that eventually you just stop counting, jamming to great music and feeling like shit for 2 days. So since I have moved up here, I don't really hang out at the bars. We go out here and there but my partying has slowed WAY down. I found something SO much better. Spending time with someone who makes you feel great.
So we didn't hit the bars at all this weekend for my bday. Thursday night, Tony came home with roses and a cute card because he works so late, he didn't know how much time we was going to be able to see me ON my birthday. He is so thoughtful and heartfelt. I just love him to pieces. So Friday I workeD all day, went out to eat at the Jasper Inn for dinner, yummy food but I had previously bought myself a great cake and attcaked that so I was full. Great food and service as always but took some home. Crashed hard, got up early and took a nice drive with Tony and Ace up to McLain State Park to see a couple of architects present some schemes to the public of the park renovation. It was a neat experience and beautiful on top of it.
After the park we stopped at the Hilltop in L'Anse and ate lunch, WAY too much lunch. We drove home in food coma, ace crashed hard and Tony and I rolled to the Marquette County Fair. We walkyd around and then watched Chasin Steel, a local band we are pretty fond of. After deciding against rides, and noting how much the price of rides has gone up since our kids were young, we headed home. And crashed.
Sunday was my golf outing for work which got me at up 6 am, both my helpers for the morning bailed on me but I delegated work once I got to the clubhouse and it was all taken care of. It qas a great golf outing, a long long day and I came home a zombie and achy from joint pain in the hips. The boys went to a friend's to cook out and I stayed home, took a super hot shower and a cat nap. Feeling better.
My whole point for this post was not really to give you a play by play of my weekend, it was to point out how someone really great in your life can ground you and help you appreciate the little things, like good company, a long drive, some belly laughs, a good tv show, a nice lazy night, a big fat piece of cake no one needs, and holding hands at the fair.
Xoxoxo to the little things..
