The number of years I’ve been on this earth. Wow! As most of you know, yesterday was my birthday. So, first of all, thank you all very kindly for your birthday wishes via text (all of which I responded to), facebook, and phone calls, and thanks for your gifts of banana pudding and cake. MzInspiredMind sent me the funniest birthday card. She gets me!
Yesterday was also Father’s Day. It just so happens that whenever there is an important weekend, Tim and I are never together — so yesterday it was just me and Aidan. For a gift, he gave me Doggy — one of his teddy bears, then he took me to the movies to see “Up”, and for dinner he treated me to Red Lobster, which also happens to be his favorite. So, what a wonderful birthday it was.
I thought that turning 35 was going to be some kind of milestone. Turns out it was just as uneventful as any other day. I didn’t even get any 35 hair. Sorry to disappoint. However, I do have some things up my sleeve between now and 36. So, stay tuned.
It’s now a birthday tradition. On my birthday, I always change my hair. Drastically. So, here’s this year’s new do.
Okay, I couldn’t walk around like that. Literally. Without the glasses I had hair in my eyes and I couldn’t see. Plus, I was feeling a little Keshia Cole-ish. So, I reformed the Diva do into something a little more low key.
I think it’s now a bit too conservative, but whatever. It is what it is.
Well, this also serves as my weekend in review post because it’s really all I did this weekend. What did ya’ll do this weekend? Anybody rockin’ a new do?

What’s up 34?! I’ve been waiting on you! Whew, thank the Lord that you’re here and I’m still here to greet you with my friends and family safe and sound. Lemme tell you, 34, it’s going to be hard for you to outdo 29 — she brought me Tim. And 30? Well, she broke the bank and gave me this baby boy. Now, 31, she came in with a bang, too. She showed up with a new job right on her heels. 32? Hmph, she settled me into my new house. 33 tried to play me real close with that little heart surgery thang and she got me to thinking — but she brought it back around full circle and made everything all good.
So, Ms. 34, what’s up wit you? Can you hang? What you got for ya girl this year? I can’t wait to see, so let’s get it poppin!
Come on, Ms. 34, we gone make it do what it do!!!!!!

When I look back over my life
And I think things over
I can truly say that I’ve been blessed
I’ve got a testimony.
Tomorrow, June 21, is my birthday. That song sums it up.
Have a great weekend ya’ll!!!
