Psssst.... Monday is my birthday. It's a big one. No longer will I be able to say I'm in my 'early' 40's. I'll be 45. FORTY FIVE. F.O.R.T.Y...F.I.V.E. yuck. That seriously qualifies for middle aged.

Seriously, I'm not depressed about it. I have the most kick-ass job, the most kick-ass hubby, kick-ass sis, kick-ass kids, kick-ass in-law's and soon to have a kick-ass house. That's SIX kick-ass things. Actually, there's probably a lot more, but I'm sure there should be a limit on the number of times I write ass. You know, to keep it clean for the kids and all..

Son number two came over last night and spent the evening playing Tiger Woods golf with hubby, then spent the night. He really enjoyed the bull ring story. heh. They have a great time together, and that is a beautiful thing.

Today, sis and her 'lover' (I call him that just to gross her out. We really hate that term!) are coming over today and joining us (me, hubby and son number 2) for lunch at my favorite hangout so I can have onion rings. I'll be a little more careful than I was the last time I had onion rings.

I love having my family together. It truly is where my heart is. My heart is also with my family that won't be with me today.

When I blow out the candles, I'll have one special wish. That wish is that I'll be able to have hubby's family and my sis and kids all together at least one more time. I hope I get my wish.

Yeah you... the one who keeps leaving lipstick rings around the water cooler spigot at my office.

Stop it. You're grossing me out.

Here are a couple of tips:

You really don't have to

A: Wear so much lipstick that it transfers from your bottle to the spigot
or
B: Stick the water bottle up so far that the spigot is inside of the bottle

Really, if a little water splashes on the floor because you left a bit of room between the spigot and the bottle, it's OK. I'd rather slip on that drop of water and fall on my butt than imagine flakes of your lipstick in my water bottle.

Thank you. Now go learn to blot your lips.

I’m not sure that I like this week. I want it to go away. I’m not going to elaborate.

So there. 

But you’d think so after hearing that I just ate an entire jar of green olives stuffed with jalapeno’s and garlic.

Now, where’s the cheese? We all know how much I love cheese. So much, that I’ve decided to give it its own category. 

Kim from Catawampus posted this meme today where she had to pick two people from her blogroll that she’d never seen pictures of, and describe how she thinks they look.

I was one of her picks (wow!  I’m all tingly and stuff...) She wrote:

I see Risible Girl as a petite blond with shortish hair cut stylishly. Fashionably dressed, but in a slightly YOUNG AND EDGEY WAY, Doesn’t wear much makeup - doesn’t need to. All AGLOW in new love, which makes her seem younger than her 40 something years. Laughs alot at everything - so much so that sometimes other people don’t get what’s so funny. But it’s because she has a UNIQUE AND QUIRKY perspective, not because she’s MENTAL or anything.

You’re right on about the personality (except I really am MENTAL- but that’s between you, me and the rest of the cyberworld!). I’d probably add to that, that I have the mental age of about 12. At least that’s what hubby tells me. heh. You’re also right about the fact that there are lots of people who just don’t get what I find to be so funny. Too bad for them. It’s a funny world.

Looks? Not petite and not blond. I’m 5’3 on a TALL hair day (not that I have ‘Texas hair’ , mind you...) but I have lots of weight to drop. I’m a size 14-16 depending… Bah- I hate admitting that here on my blog.  Today my hair is almost black with very red chunky foiled highlights. And it’s definitely edgy right now. Last year, it was lighter with almost blond highlights. When I first met hubby, it was almost jet black. I like to play with my hair. Makeup? I LOVE makeup. I don’t wear a lot of foundation, but I do like to play with eye makeup and lipstick.  It’s all about playing with makeup, rather than covering anything up (at least that’s what I tell myself.)

I don’t have a particular dress style. I am a VP at a company with a bunch of legal-types, so can’t get too wild. I’d say at work that my dress style is contemporary, definitely NOT business-like. Suits? Y.U.C.K. At play I"m usually in jeans and a suede jacket of some color or another.

So, here’s a pic wedding020.jpg of me on my wedding day (April 2004). My favorite pic without really showing our faces

Now, lessee.....

I think I"ll start with Follow That Star. I’m going to guess that he’s forty-something, about 6’1 and medium build, I"m guessing he has sandy brown hair and brown eyes. I’d be willing to bet that he is a jeans and button down shirt kind of guy as a general rule. Not sure what he’d wear to work, since he’s a hairdresser. I don’t see him having an edgy look. He has a very gentle nature and enjoys listening to people. I don’t imagine him ever trying to be the center of attention, instead, he encourages other people to be in the spotlight. He has a sense of humor, but he’s not an obnoxious clown about it.

The next person I’ll pick on is Jenn from According to me who actually lives there. .  I imagine Jenn to be a petite brunette with short hair, who dresses in a casual-conservative way. Jenn’s personality is easy to figure out based on her blog. She’s very caring and introspective. Very family oriented. I’d be willing to be that she likes gardening and dabbles in all kinds of craft type of projects.

That was fun Kim, thanks!  I can’t wait to see how close I was in guessing about these folks.  Now you two (FTS and Jenn) have to go find two people on YOUR blog roll and do the same.
