Thank you all - so much!

Okay peeps......you got me. I was definitely surprised. It was awkward at the beginning, as Mike, Latrice and Cherie began the day with a surprise spa! Now THAT was really a stumbling block for ever-the-control-freak-Debie. I was sooooooo nervous about some stranger seeing my body without clothing and then mushing and mashing all the "soft" spots (that would be...EVERYWHERE). LOL. However, after many glasses of wine, a pedicure, a delicious lunch (where I met a woman who thought I was turning 30 - loved her), and a hydro-massage I was much more accepting of the idea. See, it doesn't take much to losen me up (yeahhhh riiiight)! So, while I was at the spa everyone was here at my house getting things ready for a party that wasn't approved by me. They lied, they scammed, they were deceitful to an extreme, and they cleaned my filthy house! They are sooooooooooo clever. They decorated with black and silver balloons, a centerpiece in the foyer with some nonsense about a hill; there was a coffin on the table and several in miniture glasses, because, as I am sure you are all aware, someone died. Yes, you heard me right. Someone died on the day of my party (how rude)! It was Youth. She passed away today (the 7th), but we all mourned her loss on the 4th.
I really feel blessed to have so many people recognize my "big one". To be honest, I didn't want anyone to remember. I do have a difficult time embracing age, as most of you know. Thanks to your love and determination this year, I think I just might make it through with acceptance and appreciation. I mean, it could be worse ~ think of the alternative. Okay, I am out of room, so I'll finish this up and post more tomorrow. I have lots to tell! Thank you everyone for all the attention!
