Another Year Gone

Yep another year gone and I'm a year older.  Now I could go into all kinds of rants over aging but the fact is the alternative to this, I've come to realize, is drastic and I've decided that aging isn't the worse thing that can happen to a person.  Yes I recently had another birthday.  I'm OK with getting older it's just the looking older that I have a problem with.
Anyway moving on, I said this wasn't going to be a rant so sorry.  I had a wonderful birthday and ended up getting some interesting things.  Mainly all centered around Star Wars and to be more specific Darthvader things.  Now here I am and older woman, I refuse to use the term old lady here, getting some really unusual things in recognition of reaching an advanced age in a restaurant.  I can only imagine how that must have looked.  Was I happy with the gifts?  You bet your sweet ass I was.  Hey I even got a Darthvader light saber.  Yes a light saber.  My only problem with the darn thing is that it really doesn't chop off someone's head.  Hey let's face it there's not a person out there who is a Star Wars fan who hasn't wanted one and imagined who they would use it on, I know I have a list of people.  "Hey you bitch, yes you.  What makes you think it's OK to jump in front of me in this line that is two miles long?"  You want to rip out your trusty light saber and whack off their head right there leaving a bloodless scene for others to gap at and move away from you allowing you to move to the head of the line.  Admit it you want it as bad as I do.
I did get a treat today when Santa asked me to sit in his lap for a pic and he was a doll too.  I didn't think about having my picture taken when I left the house this morning to do some Christmas shopping so it isn't the greatest photo of me but what the hell, I got to sit in Santa's lap.  Yeah.
So here I am wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas.
