On the edge of 17


Well, 40 actually. No matter. But the blogging...has it really been that long?? Gosh, I just joined Facebook and...well, eight months have elapsed. But I perused some of my old posts today and realize just how gifted of a writer I am, so I will no longer deprive you. I know that my readers have been hungry for Irene's wit for far too long.


My big birthday approacheth, so if your card or gift (gifts are preferred over cards) is not in the mail, act fast. My neighborhood cronies threw me a most unique surprise party. A squaredance, complete with a professional caller! Nothing could have tickled me more. Not since fourth grade PE have I had the pleasure of promenading around a dance floor. Pure bliss. And she may be nearly 40 but, y'all, Irene can turn some heads in an authentic squaredance dress. Agreed?

OH MY GOD!! That's a classic, my dear...although your dress looks more like Mexican "fiesta wear" than square dance. You look adorable and still in fourth grade!! Happy fortieth to my friend who is still very fun and full of shenanigns! Kelli

You don't look a day over 39! Or 17. Or... um, Happy Birthday, girl!

Out doing some shopping when I heard
A Christmas miracle has occurred.
Irene’s returned - it seemed like a year,
The blogosphere is filled with cheer.
She’s 40 now but you’d never know
Her picture shows her all aglow.
Let’s pop the cork and drink the wine
There’s reason to live until 2009!

OMG-you are a two-time (at least) loser. Can't you keep this thing going? Just because you are now happy, satisfied, whatever, that's no reason to shut down your site.

I have clicked on your blog every single day since your last post in March (like some kind of mental patient). For the love of God...please write something.
