42

I looked in the mirror [this morning, well, I wrote this on the 12th], and wondered what should be different. The 13-year old version of me is simply not there. Nor is the 25-year old. Hell, I'm not even sure if I looked like this last year! Oh, that's right, I didn't. Last year I was 4 days away from giving birth and looked like a beached whale. Now I've got less weight (though, unfortunately, not where I wanted it), more gray hairs, and more children. Number and identity of husband hasn't changed.

Last year Peter & I went out to dinner & movie for my birthday - I think it was D'Amico & "The Painted Veil". This year? Pirate Veggie-Tales? Alvin & the Chipmunks?
