the BIG one!!!!!!

Well, a couple of days ago I turned 60. A couple of days ago I couldnt even say the terrible #. It isn't much easier today but at least I can write about it. My husband is so supportive..."just think of the alternative" he says. My son called me on that day and sang "Happy 80th Birthday, mom". Now you should feel younger. Ha. Not funny. My daughter called but didnt know if she should completely ignore the day, or call and remind me how old I am and wish me a Happy Birthday. There was no winning that one she said.
My family is taking me out for dinner on Friday. My husband got me one of those "Readers" where you download e-books and can read anywhere. I love it but I still love to physically hold my book and smell the pages and feel the pages as I turn them. I love a pile of books sitting on the table or on the floor. My dream would be to have a whole room , top to bottom library shelves filled with books of all sizes. Kind of like a cocoon, wrapped around me.
I am going to buy myself a gift. I want one of those Pandora charm bracelets and just fill it with all those beautiful beads and charms. This weekend that is what I will get for myself. I deserve it. Well, maybe I dont deserve it but I want it and I will buy it.
