Yes, it's official...today is a "century-turner" for me. I'm celebrating my birthday!
I actually like to celebrate for at least a week. Last weekend Kent and I went to a hotel with a spa. We enjoyed a romantic night away with some rest and relaxation.

Tonight I'm celebrating with supper out with the family. We'll go to a local restaurant. Saturday might be date night.
Here's a fun article to read. It eases the pain a bit, lol!

"The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age."
What's with this "Next Century" Hoopla?? As far as I know, none of us are close to next century in age; so please explain thyself Ms Boithday Goil!!!
