Newfangled contraptions

I am barely getting the hang of this whole blogging experience. I just spent an hour trying to figure out why I cannot update my blog while I am logged into my Google account. It's because I signed up for this blog with my Yahoo address! Duh! But what's worse is that I now want to merge the two accounts, or at least access this blog from either, and it won't let me. Ugghhh. Whatever.

I feel like a senior citizen trying to operate cruise control, an automatic ice maker, or ....dare I say, an online blog. These newfangled contraptions are going to take some getting used to!

In the mean time, I will leave you with a joke that I found the other day. This describes what it's like to work in an office perfectly. Don't get me wrong, I love my job (most the time) but office work is just so sterile and uninteresting for the most part. I love being outdoors and traveling...maybe in my next life I will be a landscaper or architect, or maybe a real estate agent....or astronaut...or cosmonaut...

My Golden Birthday!

Since today is my golden birthday I thought it was fitting to start a blog (and cause all the cool people are doing it). Many people I've talked to recently have never heard of a golden birthday, which surprised me. What better place to start a golden birthday blog than by stating the definition of a golden birthday!?!

A golden birthday is the birthday that comes once in a person's life; the day when your age matches your birth date.... So my 27th birthday is golden because I was born on the 27th day of October. There's a lot of information on the web about this. I even found: http://www.goldenbirthdaybook.com/

And Wikipedia explained it like this: A person's Golden or Grand Birthday, more commonly referred to as their "Lucky Birthday", "Champagne Birthday" or "Star Birthday", occurs when they turn the age of their birth day.

So, today begins my golden year and this should be my best year yet! I have been waiting for this day for a long, long time. It was a milestone of sorts for me. On to the next wild & adventurous chapters of my life.... come join me!
