I am an official member of the KMA Club

Today is my birthday.  I had forgotten all about it until my sister called and invited me over.  I asked her if we could do it Friday because I have too many shows to watch that I can't tape.  I know, I am pathetic.  My life revolves around the TV Guide. :-(    I forgot they were going out of town this weekend so Dale is going to tape my shows for me.  That is the problem with reality TV and being to cheap to purchase the big cable package.  There are no reruns.

I haven't worried about my birthday coming up, because I have waited all my career to make it to retirement age.  My mother use to tell me to not wish my life away, but this is a major accomplishment.  I have worked for the Postal Service for 35 years and now I can retire any time I want.  Being financially ready to go is a whole different story.  Unless something happens, I will be here another 3-6 years.  It is kind of scary to think about it when it is staring you in the face.  But I have dreams of becoming a famous watercolorist.  It may be that I am the only one that loves my stuff, but that won't matter, I want to travel somewhere and paint.

I have been looking into a lot of options of where I will eventually retire to.  The world is mine right now and I hope I am brave enough to do the things I have waited to do all these years.  Happy Birthday Carla.
