27

I can see why some people choose to lie about their age and make themselves younger than they actually are. I just turned 3 years shy of 40 and I don't feel it. I feel like I'm still in my twenties, like I'm only just turning 27. I'm not about to start lying about my age, but I must say, I don't pay no attention to my years, and I often have to double-check with Andrew how old I am.

So, here I am at 37. I think I'm looking pretty good.

How about 37 things about me?

1. I wear no make-up.
2. I pretty much fit the description of Virgos.
3. But I'm a little more flexible than most.
4. My husband might disagree with that.
5. I laugh exactly like my Mom and my Aunt.
6. High and loud.
7. There's no fighting it.
8. I think it's pretty similar to hyenas laughing.
9. Andrew likes my laugh.
10. Sylvia thinks I'm pretty.
11. Evelyn's hair is the same color as mine.
12. She says it's brown.
13. I say blond.
14. When my hair started getting darker, I told people I was getting smarter.
15. I still have my "dumb blond" moments.
16. That proves I'm still blond.
17. I crack my knuckles.
18. I still bite my thumb nails.
19. I used to be able to hook my legs behind my head.
20. Don't ask how I know I can't do it anymore.
21. I don't know why I thought I could still do it!
22. That hurt!
23. If I could, I would get another tattoo.
24. A turtle with designs in the shell that represent my family.
25. It will probably never happen, though.
26. I dislike doing the dishes.
27. I do them only because I have to.

30. It's meditative for me.
31. I'm not allergic to anything.
32. But I might be allergic to exercise.
33. It makes me sweat.
34. That's an allergy reaction, isn't it?
35. I love being Evelyn, Gretchen, Sylvia and Peter's mom.
36. I love being Andrew's wife.
37. I am loved.
