it seems that numbers can be significant in our culture….24……1vs100….studio 60….so here’s my thoughts on a pretty incredible number:
1. Face it, 37 isn’t bad. I’ve heard that in Chinese culture I’d be 38.
2. When I was 36 I went to the doctor TOO MANY TIMES. This year, less doctor’s visits and bills.
3. Life change – no one is going to do it for me.
4. I made it one month….no coke, no dr pepper, no pepsi.
5. Can I take off 60 in the next 8 months? That’s about 7.5 per month.
6. Just think, I’m halfway to retirement age….yeah Social Security. When I’m 74, will I be able to live on $3 a day??
7. If I knew then what I know now…oh, what trouble I would have missed.
8. I am a product of the 80s…footloose and flashdance and mtv (that was when they actually played music videos…the cheesier the better)
9. Speaking of cheese, was it just me or has Prince not aged in what 20 years?
10. Did someone mention cheese? I love stinky cheese. But at 37 I can’t enjoy it as much as I would really like.
11. When I was 17 I loved to sleep in and stay in my pj’s. Now I’m 37 and still enjoy sleeping in and staying in my pj’s. That is a beautiful day for me.
12. What happened, it was just like yesterday that I turned 30!
13. I’m old enough now to know better.
14. But I’m still young enough not to care so much.
15. I feel the freedom to change my hair color whenever I feel like it.
16. Psalm 37 (specifically verses 3-7a)
17. I absolutely love the friends God has given me for this time of my life.
18. The Cheesecake Factory…thanks Mom & Dad.
19. Kemah Crabhouse….thanks Sis.
20. 6 years ago today I made a major life change – move back to Houston with no job. Oh, that was a scary time.
21. And, I really love my job – or maybe its just growing on me…I can’t decide.
22. And, I now get 3 weeks vacation. What ever will I do? Where will I go? (probably stay home and use it to study and write a paper next semester)
23. I am definitely more courageous.
24. I am loving coffee….all kinds, all ways (even CDL/SF/NF/NW – try it, you might like it)
25. I love chocolate…the darker the better. (And it is really good with coffee). It is not called food of the gods for no reason.
26. This year, I returned to graduate school (the 3rd time in 10 years) and I WILL finish in May 2008.
27. I have a growing love and desire for God’s Word.
28. I love how He has chosen to talk with me lately.
29. I now find myself saying things that my mom says. Ugh….I must break the cycle!
30. I really love to cook and am determined to do that more this year.
31. Listen more. Think. Talk less. (“Talk less” does NOT apply when I am at the movies. Right Ashlee?)
32. I’m one year closer to 40! Some think that is a bad thing – I’m actually looking forward to it.
33. I LOVE TO laugh…deep and from the gut! I’m glad I have friends who make me laugh.
34. I am better today than I was yesterday. Heck, I’m way better today than I was 17 years ago!
35. There is never a bad day to eat cake.
36. “It is not too late.” What does that mean? I can’t wait to find out.
37. three + seven=ten…10!!!! Do I need to say anything else?
Yeah for THIRTY-SEVEN.

Happy Birthday, Zanobia!
About #24--you sound just like another children's minister I know...that AL certainly loves her CDL's, too!!
Maybe it is the CDL that helps us find "rest and solace" to help us through another day. Actually, I would take just about any kind of coffee...at any time.
Okay, #31 is my favorite! It does not apply to the movies....
and #24 is good too....I have never left off the whip though.....sounds depressing!
Where are we going spring break?!?!??!
