Half Way Point!

I woke up this morning to a beautiful day, the sun is shining and I am happy to say that I  survived turning 50.  I went to bed at 12:06 last night, just in case an asteroid would fall from space and take me out, I wanted to be fully awake for it.  I'm laughing at myself today, what was I thinking.  It's just a number after all.  I am still the same me for Heavens sake.

I'm going to look at this birthday as sort of a mulligan, a do over.  The way I see it, I have about fifty more years or so to continue to praise The Lord, guide my Brittany, live on happily with the love of my life.  Lord willing that is.

I am pumped though, I'm excited.  I am going to get more in tune with myself.  Focus on fitness, eat better and drop some unwanted pounds leftover from my forties.  Yes, this is a brand new year for me full of possibilities!

Brittany woke up this morning shoving her gifts at me, she has wanted me to have them for the past 2 days and I keep telling that I would wait.  She was having no more of that.  My girl bought me two lovely pair of earrings, a beautiful purse it is burgandy with a bow on it, and two gorgeous sweaters.  I told her it was too much but she reminded me that I am her only mom.  Seems to me I have said those same exact words  to my sweet mom a time or two myself.   I took the tonight off and instead of working around my house I am going to go have dinner with my husband and then I am going to let him buy me something.  I think I have been driving him crazy all week.  He keeps asking me what I want and I keep telling him either, "I don't know.", "I don't need anything. " or "you don't have to buy me a thing."

I guess if he were saying it to me then I would feel the same way.

I found something online that is really cool.  Since today is day one of the rest of my life I went to www.sparkpeople.com.  They have all types of trackers on there and best of all it is free although I did buy an app for my iPad for only 3.99.  But I have been nosing around on their website too and it is much cheaper than WW being free  so I'm excited.

Ok, I'm done with rambling for today.  I'm off to get myself presentable for my date tonight!
