I'm watching Eerie, Indiana on DVD, and this is one of my favorite lines so far, this episode:
Main character, teenage boy, says to his friend: "So now dad's all freaked out that he's got some old people's disease that makes him lose stuff. He's pushing thirty-five, you know."
Friend: "Scary."
I'm 35, and I remember thinking, when I was a teenager, that it was really old. Now that I'm here, I don't think it is. I feel young, and many days out of the month, I feel like I'm actually still in high school.

What's Black and White...
What's black and white and eating bird seed on my front porch? My black and white cat Sam? No... This little guy is eating his dinner at my front porch cafe.
That's a skunk. Both he and Sam were on the porch at the same time. Fortunately Sam wasn't into starting fights and the skunk was hungry. Once, a skunk sprayed under the front porch. There's a foyer that sits over the porch, and the skunk smell seeped into the foyer and into the living room. It was so pungent, I couldn't hang out in the living room for days. The whole house smelled.

Tori Is Everywhere
I can't wait for the new Tori Spelling show on Oxygen. Seriously, I am probably going to get addicted to this reality show because she's such a plastic surgery miracle. I wonder what that kid's going to look like. Definitely not present-day Tori. Maybe Love Boat Tori. Check out the MySpace page for the reality show about Tori and her husband and their new bed and breakfast.
The thing is, as much as I'd like to stay there and mock everything that is Tori, I'd rather stay here, the B&B that Kate from the B-52s owns.
Apparently, owning hotels, resorts, and the like is very common among celebrities.

Birthday
Monday was my birthday. I feel old. 35.
Today, I got a $5 off coupon from DSW, for my birthday. I also got a Rocky's Hardware coupon ($10). Aging has its benefits.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fun family party on Sunday and the nice lunch out on my birthday with my friend and her kids. We went to Friday's, then to the bookstore. Since then, I've been wanting to go get another latte at Starbucks or B&N. Maybe tomorrow! I have new books from the library so I can read and drink coffee, just like back in the day, when I had almost as much spare time as I do now.

Late Night Freakout
I woke up at 1:12 am because my cell phone beeped. I had received a text message. It was a picture of flowers, and a note that said Happy Birthday. I didn't recognize the number, so of course I instantly assumed it was from a stalker. I took my house phone and cell phone, put them in the pockets of my bathrobe, and scoped out the house for danger. It's been snowing and there were no footprints leading up to the house, so all seemed good. I brought my laptop upstairs, logged on, and did a number search. The number is a local cell number, but the searches don't give you any info about names and I'm not about to spend $14.95 to find out who owns the number.
At 1:32 am I received another text from the same number, this time with a signature on it. My friend from California, who kept her East Coast number. Phew. Crisis averted.
I think I need to calm down. Or just turn the cell phone off when I go to bed. Or both. There are definitely some residual feelings from the ex-bf who stalked.

Keeping My Fingers Crossed
Every day, I feel better. I'm not running any marathons, but I can drive, and be a passenger, and it's not horrible to walk around, as long as I hold my stomach. My doctor called it, for lack of a better word, a "pouch". How pleasant. Weird is that there are some stitches that I can see, like the end of the stitches. I thought it was the glue stuck to me and I tried to pull it out for a while. Then I realized it was thread. Well, whatever it is that they use to sew you up. I cleaned the area, put a bandaid on it, and tried to forget about it. Keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't get infected. Or split! Yikes.
I bought a Mega Millions ticket today. Quick pick because I was too tired, or lazy, to pick my own numbers. I hope I win. If I do, I would probably go for the single payout option rather than the annuity. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I wonder, if I win, would I sell this house and buy a nicer, newer one with a garage, a big yard, a pool, and a gardener? YES. DEFINITELY. The bigger question: would I quit my job? Probably not. At least, not immediately. I'd give a reasonable amount of notice.
