Aliens & Family

This seems to be the month for Birthdays. My brothers 40th is tomorrow.



Does it seem that birthdays come so much faster than they use to?? Time just passes by and there is not enough hours in the day to get it all done. Remember this is the year to accomplish what you've always wanted to do. If it's only to color coordinate you socks and underwear drawer... well at least you have a mission in life! Personally I tend not to look at peoples feet so would never notice if your socks matched your outfit or if you were even wearing any for that matter.

But back to birthdays and brothers. My brother (Mark) and I are actually the same age for 13 days. I know what you're thinking... was your mother out of her mind??!! However it didn't turn out that bad. We were pretty close growing up even though I was a "bad" sister and I'm sure every day Mark wanted to pummel me, however the "little sister" card saved me more than once. That doesn't work so well when you're in 30's. So to be on my best behavior I would like to wish "Mark" a Happy Birthday but I can't mention his full name here in cyber land for he's staying low from the Government and Aliens for that matter. Yes I'm serious about that last comment. He's serious too! Again to be on my best behavior I won't mention the time he camped out in our field all night with a set of strategically located flashing lights to call in the little green men. Sounds a little weird I know and when your lying in bed watching flashing lights out the window knowing it's not lightning but rather a form of communication to the extraterrestrial life. The thought that at any moment a Unidentified Flying Object would land in our back yard in search of the extra intelligent human (my brother) and I would have to tearfully say goodbye to him then try to figure out how to tell my mother before she watches it on Extra or reads in the Sun. But what's really weird is that he's turning 40 already and is still here with us humans on earth. So let's wish him a Happy Birthday today and hope he has many more with us.

Oh and by the way... the field of lights evening happened only 12 years ago... making him...what 28?! Hmmm.
