I'm Going to Peoria.
I'm going to Peoria.
I am going to add the big "1."
What a beautiful day!
Oh no, I'm not scared.
Uh oh, wrinkles,
Tiny, growing wrinkles.
I can't go over it.
I can't go under it.
I'll have to go through it.
Oil of Olay, Oil of Olay, Oil of Olay.
I'm going to Peoria.
I am going to add the big "1."
What a beautiful day!
Oh no, I'm not scared.
Uh oh, slower metabolism,
Small portion, slow metabolism.
I can't go over it.
I can't go under it.
I'll have to go through it.
Watch what I eat, watch what I eat.
I'm going to Peoria.
I am going to add the big "1."
What a beautiful day!
Oh no, I'm not scared.
Uh oh, loose skin,
Sagging, hanging loose skin.
I can't go over it.
I can't go under it.
I'll have to go through it.
Firming lotion, firming lotion, firming lotion.
I'm going to Peoria.
I am going to add the big "1."
What a beautiful day!
Oh no, I'm not scared.
Uh oh, outdated wardrobe,
Clothes from the 90's, outdated wardrobe.
I can't go over it.
I can't go under it.
I'll have to go through it.
Is this still cool? Is this still cool?
I'm going to Peoria.
I am going to add the big "1."
What a beautiful day!
Oh no, I'm not scared.
What's that?
I'm HERE!
Back through the wardrobe.
Throw out, throw out, throw out.
Back through the loose skin.
Firm it up, Firm it up.
Back through the slow metabolism.
Exercise, exercise, exercise.
Back through the wrinkles.
Could be worse, could be worse.
Back to Rock Island.
Live in denial.
Ignore my age.
So old now no one is going to ask me anymore anyway.
I am not going to Peoria any more... until I leave for Indiana.
*My wise older sister said to me last year that turning 30 was like going to Rock Island. You are so close to Davenport (ie 29 & in Iowa) that you don't notice you've left Iowa. 31, she said, was like going to Peoria. You are WAY in Illinois then and next stop Indiana! (ie turning 40!) Today I am going to Peoria, in the figurative sense. I keep rewriting this children's story (We're Going on a Bear Hunt, one of my all time favorites!) in my head and thought I'd write it out for posterity. Have a great day!
(We'll have new pictures of the garden later this afternoon!)
Happy Birthday Dana!! I could say something cheesy about how you're like a fine wine and keep getting better with age (and I guess I did just say it) but I do want you to know that I hope I can look half as good as you 9 years from now!! I had a dream about your family last night, but I'm not sure what happened...
Thanks Blakely... but most importantly, I am still waiting to hear how you liked the shrimp?! (Did you eat the shrimp and it give you nightmares, :)! )
WHEEEEE!!!! ThirTEEEEE!!!! "Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God." That's you, Dane! Congrats on your milestone :) ((Hugs))
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Dana!
happy birthday! enjoy peoria as there's not much to see between there and indiana! ;)
Seriously Ambre! That is why I am planning on ignoring the age of 31 and just not think about it until 40. :)!
Happy birthday and welcome to the grand old age of 31!
Happy Birthday Dana!!! Enjoy the beautiful sunshine!
Happy birthday uno!
Indeed!
