What becoming old has taught me:
Wrinkles bite the big one.
A good pair of jeans that make you look slimmer is worth every penny.
When you have another child, your love does not have to be divided...it multiplies.
Being early is a waste of time.
There’s no arguing with stupid.
Political correctness is ruining funny.
Politicians are ruining politics.
Politics are ruining Little League, high school, and college sports.
Ice cream is evil...but oh so good.
Carbohydrates are ruining my body.
But if carbohydrates didn’t do it first, I would find another excuse.
Mama was right...boys were after only one thing...and still are.
Finding a good husband is the most important decision you will ever make.
I’m a good decision maker.
You can’t keep a nine-year-old boy from dying laughing when someone cuts the cheese.
Nothing will cure the blues better than feeling your child’s arms around your neck and hearing him say “You’re the best mommy in the whole world.”
Having younger friends is great every day of the year except your birthday.
They will ride you like a mule when you hit a “milestone” birthday.
You will love them dearly anyway because friends who love you enough to keep you laughing about becoming officially old are better than friends who forget your birthday.
URL friendships can be just as deep as IRL friendships.
I love my friends....all of them.
I am blessed beyond what I deserve....

So many truisms up there, I don't know which I like the best! I resent the hell out of growing old, but as I had recently pointed out, the alternative is so much worse!
Happy Birthday :) Hope it is great! I loved reading what you have learned!

happy birthday...and it is great about the 9 year old. they still die laughing at 12 and up too.
Happy Birthday! That's a great list.
DAAAAANG! I knew today was something important. Ugh. I have the worst memory ever.
I love you, Cessy, more than you'll ever know! Just having you as a friend and knowing you (URL or not) makes me a better person!
I can't wait until you come to visit your in-laws so we can change that URL to IRL!
I hope you have the best day ever! Celebrate knowing that all of us are thinking about you...Even if I forgot about your birthday today <---I'm full of it.
Happy Birthday!! Have a wonderful day.
Hope you have a wonderful birthday!! Enjoy it to the fullest.
You are incredibly wise for a 29 year-old.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! I came over from Shelle's site and had to see what the fuss was all about.
Now I know.
Loved the post. You are wise obviously beyond your very young years.
(I'm the oldest person in blogland so I can speak with authority)
Hope your day was great!
Happy Birthday! As an older and wiser....I only disagree with one of your pieces of wisdom. Being early. I have to be early or everything feels wrong! Just me though.
Happy Happy Birthday princess!
Happy Birthday! Here's to all the jewels and wine that your family should by you!
Awwww . . . I love you too! :) Come over and check out my Ode to Sarcasm . . .
Happy Birthday Princess...have an absolutely royal day! ;-)
<3 you too! xoxo
I loved this....and may I add that I think that it has nothing to do with age...you can't keep ANY boy from laughing when someone cuts the cheese.
Happy Birthday Beautiful!
Happy birthday from an old broad who turns 66 in August! Hang in there, girl! Life just keeps getting better!
I feel vaguely weird saying Happy Birthday to you when we don't really know each other IRL, URL or otherwise. But I do read Cheif's blog, and I was stalking yours and saw you watch DWTS. And from your posts, it looks like we feel about the dancers about the same. Thank you for that. And for real-have a great day!
:) Happy Birthday, Princess!! I hope you have a day filled with fun, happiness, and your kiddos arms around your neck saying you are the best mommy in the world. ;)
So very true! All of them. URL and IRL one? LOVED IT!! oh, and same here, way blessed beyond what I deserve.
I JUST WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU that I stared at URL AND TRIED to figure it out for like 4 minutes.
Un real Life?
Uber real life?
maybe she doens't mean Real life? but IRL means IN real life... perhaps she? but wait... Under realy life? what???
You just got yourself a 4 min gift for all the harassment I've done. :)
xoxooxo
smooches non tm
xoxooxo loves yah and happy happy day to my favorite cessy la la
Happy Birthday Princess! You truly rock and I agree that URL friends (like you) can be awesome.
True story...all of it.

But I can't stay away.
Excellent! Glad I stumbled upon your blog! Oh, and a Happy Belated Birthday 'Sister'!!!
You are so right. There is no arguing with stupid.
Which is why I avoid my in-laws.
