Foolish gibberish

about

I am a Children’s Librarian living in the Portland, Oregon area. When I am not Children’s Librianing I like to play with cameras and film. I also like playing the ukulele, knitting, sketching, and hiking.

Bless my heart. Bless my soul. Didn’t think I’d make it to 44 years old.

Today is my birthday. Here is my semi-annual self portrait with my NEW glasses.

    No – something opposite and will tell you when it’s not your special day! Why did you think you wouldn’t make it? I used to think when I was 21 that at 54 I would be dead : )

        It sucks. I had a really hard time a couple of years ago. I am so glad to not be going through that right now.

        I am still stuck in a dead marriage. We both want out and live as friends because its easier financially- we both need to make the move- just lazy… Did you celebrate today Moni?

        I am so sorry to hear that :(. I hope you can find closure soon. It would be tough to be in that situation.
        
        i haven’t really had time to celebrate because I’ve been busy all day but I did have a fun weekend in sunny California. 🙂

Hi Moni! Happy Birthday! The glasses are fine but the hair is fabulous!!! Looks great! Glad you made it out of your depression alive. I’m also thankful I found your blog. I look forward to reading your musings. And I love the book you made me! Thank you so much. As you may or may not remember, I’m going through a divorce. You’ve said some very kind words to me, and I thank you for that. Guess what I did yesterday. As a kind of celebration to myself, I got a tattoo! I love it. Celebrate your life, every day. Happy birthday.
