please explain about the fifty ways

Day 50: Candy is dandy.

can't remember before forty-nine

Day 49: Today is a better day than yesterday. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better than today. And so on and so forth. I have snuggly cats, a patient Michael, and caring friends. Life is good.

forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking

Day 48: I've worn my Michael down with all my whining. Poor Michael.

walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire

Day 47: I really shouldn't be sitting upright right now, but oh, well. I'm going to take another semi-loopy pill and go to bed. Fun. (In other words: The surgery went well, but I don't feel very well right now... crampy... sore throat / dry mouth... sleepy time.)

forty-six and two ahead of me

Day 46: Fuzzy monkey socks rock.

fourty-five dollars or thirty days in the joint

Day 45: I wore my spiffy new clearance belt today, plus my nifty scarf my buddy Beth (aka: Biff) knitted for me.

and he got his forty-four

Day 44: I feel like death.

forty-three poor widowed wives

Day 43: Blegh. That is all.

we all know it's just forty-two

Day 42: This post is dedicated to Chris Ward. And speaking of Christophers, here's a picture of me and my brother, Christopher.

forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes

Day 41: Quote of the night by my Father... "Lawrence Welk turns me on!" And people wonder why I'm strange. 'Nough said.

they say life begins at forty...

Day 40: "...Age is just a state of mind. If all that's true, you know, that I've been dead for thirty-nine." - Yoko Ono I'm having a bad hair day, so I tried to enhance it a bit to make it more fiery to combat the drizzle.

get in line, gate thirty-nine

Day 39: I'm doing Yoga tonight. This pose is a modified Tree with Backwards Prayer. Impressive, eh? :^)

got a thirty-eight special

Day 38: I got some Snuggle Time in with O'Malley tonight. Other than that, I've just been kinda droopy lately. It's only 8:00-ish, and I feel like going to bed already. Check out that bag under my right eye. That sums it up.

you're number thirty-seven, have a look

Day 37: This morning, as I was half-asleep and fumbling for the alarm clock to hit the snooze button, I somehow managed to stab myself in the mouth with my fingernail. I bloodied my top lip and made a little cut below the bottom one. What can I say? I'm clutzy.

thirty-six hours rolling in pain

Day 36: My buddy Brianne gave me this shirt. It's comfortable. And it's pink. It's definitely a Kodak moment to catch me wearing hot pink.

with an orphanage full of thirty-five kids

Day 35: I survived the weekend. Who would have thought a crafts fair could be so exhausting?

walking down thirty-four

Day 34: Apparently, children who paint faces (or hands, in this case) at little booths at craft fairs don't know what monkeys look like. The one on my right hand ended up looking like a cat, and the one on the left looked more like a bear. Don't people take their kids to the zoo anymore? *sigh*

can be old at thirty-three

Day 33: Duck!

thirty-two flavors and then some

Day 32: blegh.

thirty-one said "we caught a dirty one"

Day 31: I hate pleather. It's the most uncooperative thing I have ever tried to sew. Also, after unravelling hundreds of stitches tonight, I'm quickly learning the benefits of pattern-making and measuring...

back home in thirty days

Day 30: Blegh.

she left twenty-nine broken hearts

Day 29: Since the weather doesn't appear to be improving, I've busted out the long sleeves. I want Autumn. Where is Autumn? Why is the sky so gray, but the leaves are still green?

twenty-eight years have come and gone

Day 28: Lost in Translation is a sad, sad movie. Why does the cover say it's so funny? Sad and funny? Yes. But just plain funny? No. They lied to me. Friggin' liars.

twenty-seven 8" x 10" color glossy photographs

Day 27: My buddy Osiris and I are taking advantage of Snuggle Time while we have the chance.

twenty-six dollars in my hand

Day 26: I have a headache.

twenty-five fingers wish you were mine

Day 25: I have horrid, scary bags under my eyes. I'll spare you the visual.

twenty-four little hours brought the sun and the flowers

Day 24: I think I'm getting sick.

twenty-three and you're still mad at me

Day 23: Attack of the infamous monkey pants!

so cute when you're twenty-two

Day 22: My bestest buddy Brianne is in for a visit, and we got tipsy and played with the camera. It's not quite as hot as our last hot girl-on-girl action photo, but it is mighty fun. :^)

twenty-one and strong as I can be

Day 21: There is absolutely nothing better than a warm, fat, snuggly, furry cat belly on a lazy Sunday morning.

between the years when I was twenty

Day 20: I tested out my spiffy new straightening iron today.
