68!

 

Happy birthday to me. I'm 68 today and feel every inch of it. I had to go to the dentist yesterday for a checkup and right before I left the house I took a nasty fall-right on top of The Mister who was on the floor trying to put the bottom panel on the new dishwasher. I got tangled up in the vacuum cord and went right over-splat. If that's not an old lady thing nothing is. Last night we were both feeling the affects of that splat. 20 years ago that fall would have been a big laugh. Not so much at 68.




So how am I spending my big day? Finishing up the cabinets I hope. Getting those knobs lined up on the all those drawers has been an adventure. I've used every trick I know to get them even. The template was great for the big handles but for centering the little knobs-not so much.




And talk about stress....there's nothing like drilling holes into your brand new (but discontinued) cabinets so if we make a mistake it will be there forever. Even The Mister had the heebie jeebies.  I was hoping to have this done so I could empty some boxes and put up my tree tonight but that's not going to happen. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not.

  1. Happy Birthday! But gee, falling is not good.
    I'm convinced Burton is trying to make sure I don't see 43. He's constantly running under my feet and between my legs as I'm trying to walk lately!

  3. A very happy birthday!!!!! Stumbles are our new dance routines! (I have a theory about why we gain weight as we age--padding for the falls that happen!) lol

  6. Happy Birthday a day late! You look great my friend. You were a busy girl yesterday. Isn't it fun to put stuff away in new cabinets? It's almost like moving in again. I did that last night with the laundry closet cabinets. They are so neat now. I hope they stay that way.
    Blessings,
