A Very Happy Birthday shout out to my son, Sam! Another year has gone by, and you've hit the next decade milestone. Not the big 2-0, either.

Or even the 3-0.

Forty years ago today, I gave birth to my first child.

Wow. Forty years. The really big 4-0.

It doesn't seem possible that so much time has gone by. I can still remember how he felt in my arms, tiny and warm and smelling sweetly of baby powder. I still remember how he got his name-- all that hair! 

Where does the time go?

Anyway, if you see Sam today, remind him that his mom is getting old. Ha ha!

I'm awfully proud and happy to call this guy my son! Happy Birthday, kiddo! I love you!

I thought I was going to get away without getting sick this winter season, but...nope! Got me. My throat is sore and I'm congested. Blah!

Still gotta get the work done, though. Breakfast--check. Dishwasher loaded--check. Roast in the slow cooker--check. Go, me!

New tax crap is pretty much just that--crap. Did you make more money in 2018? What's your refund look like? You didn't get a raise, you got shafted. 

Seriously, if this new "tax break" helped you out, let me know. Because for my kids and friends, it has been a bad joke. 

You know, because none of us are billionaires.

I'm super excited to learn that Alice Cooper will be at FanX Salt Lake City next month, and even more excited that I'm going!!!! Gotta cross "Meet Alice Cooper in person" off my bucket list. Seriously, this might be the one who will really make me gush like a fan-girl. Over forty years being a fan--whew! Eeeeek!

Stay tuned for some serious fan-girl moments.

Hmm. I think the medicine might be working. I can smell the roast. It smells good. If only I felt like eating!

Molly is right behind me on the desk chair, keeping my back warm. She naps while I write. What a girl! Such a cute little sweetheart this dog is. This is probably really good for my posture--I have to sit up straight with my feet on the floor so I don't lean back and squash her.

Well. I am going to go check on my roast and maybe lie down for a few minutes. I don't like feeling like doo-doo. What a waste of my precious time!

Everyone have an excellent rest of your day!

Ta!
