My 60th birthday is coming up the end of June. I'm having trouble dealing with that. Just knowing I'm sixty is hard to believe. I'm getting old. I was listening to NPR interview a woman in her 30's who had some illness she was getting over. She had physical testing that showed she tested out as a 60 year old woman. She couldn't believe her physical condition was so deteriorated. I couldn't believe it either. I didn't know I was that bad. ~sigh~

I've always wanted a big birthday party so I decided last year I was going to throw myself one. I wanted to have it at a Driller's game. I have no idea why I picked that. It just seemed like a good venue. I didn't have to plan entertainment or a menu. Or decorations. It's the lazy woman's way. I had planned on booking it last fall so I could make sure and have it on a night there were fireworks but I procrastinated and all those nights were booked. I was lucky to find a Saturday night open on the July 4th weekend when a lot of people will be out of town. Better than having it on a 110 degree August night. But then it will either be raining (doubtful) or it will be 110 degrees on July 6th, the night of the party (probable).

I just ordered Save the Date cards today when I should have been working. They were 50% off so it was the perfect time to order them. I have to pay for 100 people so by golly, I'm going to invite more than that. I decided to include people's kids and the kids will probably drive me up a wall. Except for my grandkid, Guy. Or if my cousin's kids come.

Here is the picture I put on front of the Save the Date card:
I'm sure people will think it is weird that I put this old, silly pic of me. But who cares, I'm sixty. I can do what I want!

The card made me put a picture on the back which I didn't want to do but I couldn't go on without so I added this:
I think I was a pretty cute little girl. I cropped my brother out. I thought it would look strange if I put the picture of him with me on the card. People might think it was Harvey because people can be so dense.
