It's My Birthday and I'll Complain If I Want To
I'm old. I don't know why, but 35 seems really old. I didn't have an issue with 30, so the fact that this bugs me is a bit surprising. The first thing I thought when I looked in the mirror was "do I really look that old?" Oh well.
I'm still waiting on the results of two job interviews. That would so be the best present if I got a call today with good news. I'm trying to be optimistic about it all, but I have never been very good at that. I just hate waiting. Particularly for something like this. And particularly when one of the interviewers said I would hear from her at the beginning of this week. It's all I can do to not call her and find out where things stand.
In other news, G bought me a cashmere sweater (that didn't have a red dot on it) and a book I wanted, so I clearly can't complain about that. And his card made me laugh out loud. He's pretty terrific. I think I'll keep him.
And I get to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in two days. Woo Hoo!!!!!
Ok, so maybe I really don't have too much to complain about.

If you're young enough to enjoy Harry Potter, then you have nothing to worry about being "old".

Well, you can certainly complain that your dumb friend xt completely blew it until she looked at the calendar on the 17th and realized, oh SHIT, how did I miss JenL's birthday?
I'm sorry honey. I love you. You couldn't possibly be 35, though. You look far too young.

You're right, 35 is OLD! Wait, I'm 35. Okay, 36 is old, but 35 is young.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN! (I'm a little late, but that's usually the way it goes with me.)
