My own diamond jubilee celebration...

So now that my son has finished with his exams, attended prom and has graduated from high school, I was teasingly reminded by my significant other half this week that we can now focus on my own diamond jubiliee - my fiftieth birthday which is still ten months away.  Although it sounds weird that I would even want to ackowledge this birthday, once we bought tickets for a show in Las Vegas for next December, I started thinking that going to Las Vegas would be the beginning of my birthday celebrations.   I have a goal of losing ten pounds by then and have my hair reach the middle of my back by the time of the concert. I figure if I haven't grown my hair that long before in my life, now is the time....So now I'm thinking what else do I need to do to mark this celebration?  I was reminded of this when I received my Nordstroms Fall sale catalogue in the mail, and I thought as I looked at all the new fashions - what is appropriate to wear at this age?  Everything in the catalogue seemed so youth oriented.  I also started thinking about women out there in the public forum.. I would love to take a bit from each of them to become the best I could be..So these were my thoughts this week as I focus on the new milestone several months away.. I look forward to this birthday and all the new ideas, inspirations, goals this year will bring...
