12:55 PM? where on earth did the morning go? september 16? where did the summer go? 37? where did my youth go? ha!
i cannot believe i am going to be 37 in a few weeks. thirty. seven. unreal. that's not even a cool number. how did this happen to me? i thought that when i played peter pan in my early 20's, that would seal my fate. no more aging. 21 forever.

not that i want to be 21. yuck. i was so naive and ridiculous. so sure of myself and so unsure at the same time.

wait a minute. nothing has changed!

of course i am kidding. i am definitely not naive anymore. thanks to my ex-husband, who taught me everything i know about craziness, stupidity, bitterness and narcissism. oh, and tenors. but my opera singing is so much richer now!!! :)

that's called making limoncello out of lemons, ladies.

anyway, if anyone had asked me when i was 25 if i would be 37 someday, i honestly think i would have said, "no. hmm mmm. nope. is that even a number?" it's not that high in the aging process, but there's something so glib about it. so monday-after-thanksgiving.

the only thing that would make 37 better?

a wedding. tra la la la la laaaaaaa....
