this past year was a big milestone year for me. i turned 50 in may. my husband and i celebrated 25 years of marriage in september. i posted my 1000th STILL blog image. but here’s the deal about milestones. i sort of can’t be bothered. my husband says he lucked out, because he married someone who doesn’t want rings or jewelry, who doesn’t care about mother’s day or anniversaries, and who never wanted anyone to make a big deal out of her birthday. when you can’t wait to sit on the couch in front of the fire every night with a glass of wine and your hubby, what more is there to celebrate? ok, i would like the dish fairy to show up every once in a while. she has been sort of a slacker lately.
