back in the saddle
A New Year and back at work! While I enjoy having a few days off it does seem that just as my internal clock is giving me permission to sleep in a little bit I have to start getting up early again.
2006. This year holds a couple of milestones for me, or at least the promis of a couple milestones. In May I will turn 40. Of course my friend Julie says that 40 is the new 30, but I think that is because we are all turning 40 and we want to soften the blow a bit.I remember, vaguely, my mom's 40th birthday party and wondering how anyone could possibly be that old. Well, let's just say that my thoughts on this have changed a little.
On a completely different line of thinking, I have decided to start collecting transferware, red transferware. I think this is really handsome stuff, therefore I must try and have it all.

i thought 30 was the new 20, so by default is 40 the new 20?
what is tranfserware?

And does that mean that 20 is the new 10?

My 40th is the same day as Superbowl 40. Which means that I don't get a birthday. Does that mean I can hold off having my 40th until next year?

At 51 (which is the new 10, 20, 30, & 40) I am still in my cocoon and don't know about transferware, more importantly red transferware.

"intricate detailing and a timeless color combination have made this pottery a sentimental obsession for more than two centuries..." -- sounds like a healthy obsession, jim. go for it.
