It really IS just another day

because I'm not big into birthdays. My own, that is. If other people like theirs, then I make the appropriate deal out of it. Mine? Meh. Just another day.

My intention on this day is to chill and hopefully not shower. Watch the Browns on Fox. Nap. Finally make enchiladas, even though I pulled some mahi mahi out of the freezer to thaw and am going to throw it in some marinade in a little while. I kind of feel like going to the mall and buying myself something, but that all depends on the shower situation. The Ducks won last night (and if that is any indication of how the rest of the season is going to go I am going to have to rethink my stomach medicine dosage) so that was a great birthday present, and if the Browns pull it off today (aHAHAHAHAHAAAHHAA) then it will be perfect.

Speaking of the Ducks, and I'm a little apprehensive about putting it in writing, I think my jinx is back. A few years ago my nickname was Jinxie Joyce because seriously, no lie, every time I watched they just sucked. And if I got up and left the living room, or changed the channel, or turned the radio station to the FM dial, they would score. That happened last night. I'm not kidding - Purdue would score, I would storm out of the room, and when I came back the Ducks had answered. It got ridiculous there near the end. Thank God Lifetime was playing "Mother May I Sleep With Danger", and every time I switched the channel over, the Ducks actually played like a team (I know this because I was dvring it and I would go back to watch what happened - even my jinx can't change recent history). I will say, however, that covering my face with my hands worked about as well as actually leaving the room, but I didn't find that out until the very end. Next time.

All that aside, yeah. Forty-four. When the heck did THAT happen? I know age is a state of mind, but shit. Forty-four? What have I done with my life? Where's the impact I was supposed to make on the people in my world? And the most frightening question of all, where am I going? I guess it's time I sat down and tried to figure that out. I suppose now I can consider myself an adult.

But for today, relaxing. Laying around until I drive myself crazy and can't take it anymore. Just another day.
