Today is...

• I am 49 and don't feel a day over 32.
• Well except when I’m around my daughters friends, then I feel 49.
• I don’t know how to act because I have never been this old before. 
• Inventors must have thought I’d be a hot one since they invented the smoke detector the same year I was born. 
• I lived in this world before Emails, cordless phones, automatic sliding doors and ATM’s. 
• No one knew what a laptop computer was or a GPS. 
• Prozac was also invented after I was born. They saw me coming. 
• Did you know the first personal computer was invented in 1983 and called an “Apple Lisa”? Just had to throw that out there. 
• Microwaves were just getting popular in homes and moms actually cooked. 
• We didn’t have Xboxes or Nintendo . 
• We played pong until Atari came out.
• We also played hopscotch, jack rocks and marbles.
• We swung on a swing set almost every day 
• And played in the woods all the time. 
• If we were not playing outside, it meant to our friends that we were grounded. 
• I just realized, I’m too young to be this old. 

The birthday fun actually started last weekend when mom prepared a wonderful birthday dinner with family. Four out of six of us have May birthdays. The fun will last through this weekend with a short get away with my daughter and husband. 

I need to enjoy it while I can still get around.

Here is a the “Apple Lisa”
