Wicked Good Birthday - Im 50!

I turned 50 years old in 2017!  I know I don't look it but I am 50!  I feel like that lady on Saturday Night Live (Sally O'Malley)  who pulls her pants way up and yells "Ahm 50!!!"

We never really feel like having a party but my family threw one anyway and all of the families came together - both my hubbys and my own to celebrate.  There were witty signs all over the place that talk about the "joys" of being 50.  "Its Nifty to be Fifty" was one of them.  Of course, there was also great food and fun gifts!

I told you a while ago about how my good thing at a meeting was that I went to work and didn't wear my pajama pants.  It was only because they dont have pockets.  See my blog post here about the whole year that has gone by and learn about my personal pocket rule!

So of course my creative cousin (yes - the one who designed the People Quilt) got me a special pair of birthday pajama pants - with pockets and fabulous stars!

The little card says "P.J's with Pockets - Oh Yea!"

She also got me these 50 - yes FIFTY blocks - a whole stack of quilting fun!  Do you know how many projects I have planned with these blocks?  A lot thats how many!

I have not worn my pajama pants to work yet - that day is coming - I can feel it!  I am ready!

Its pretty fun being 50 - not nearly the horror story it had been made out to be.  Im giving it hell!

What ever age you are - give it hell and make the most of it. Let the milestone birthdays be a cause for celebration.  Even if you have to paste your smile on and "jolly on through it" - your family will be better for it and so will you - eventually.   Blessed be!
