Heck yeah!

I'm rapidly approaching—heck, might as well say I am—55 years old. That's the age that, when I was 20, I used to think, 'well they lived a long, full, life', when discovering someone of that age had passed away. Yes, age lends perspective.

This age, this year, leads me to think of opportunities missed, of goals not realized. We all of us (well, some of us) have desires and goals we wanted at a young age and now find ourselves looking back and regretting not going for it. For me, there are quite a few goals I never reached—but I regret very, very, few. I've done something brilliant in this life—I'm BG's mom, I'm married to a man I think the sun rises and sets on. But still, late at night, we think about what night have been, if we'd only….

So, in that spirit, I've decided to do something about that, friends. I'm going to reach for the stars—that's right.

I'm running away to join the circus.

Ciao, babies!

That's awesome. Come entertain us when you're in the area. We left our lives and decided to be pirates.

Really? Roxy, I'm so proud of you. I hope they don't make you pick up elephant shit and stuff, but have fun. Who's going to keep Mr.Roxy, uhmmm, satisfied while you're gone? Just wondering?

*nods* it's been a life long dream of mine, ever since Toby Tyler....

As for Mr. Roxy, why, I was hoping a friend might keep an eye out on him, make sure he's okay, wash his socks and stuff like that. *G*.

Wait--what--oh, waiiiiit a minute....

Ach, how can I resist that face!!! Pack your bags, it's circus time!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

WHOO-HOOO!!!! I'm a spring chicken--or maybe early early fall. ;)

Are you the strong (wo)man? Or the knife toss person? Or are you the ride honcho, workin' that ferris wheel like no one's business! XD

Happy freakin' 55th, you crazy-ass woman!!! I expect you to be around for quite a few years yet, so don't forget to bring your laptop when you run away to the big top!

*Big slobbery kisses and full-on bear hugs galore*

Well...do you have floppy red shoes? 'Cause I've got room in the tiny car for cuties! :)

I'll miss you greatly, but at least I know who to go to for peanuts and funnel cake. Hook a sista up, will you please?

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

You're gonna be, like, the Carter Speed Limit!

(Uh, me too, pretty soon.)

I was lucky enough to figure out at a VERY early age (like, 14) that regret is the world's biggest waste of energy. We could power whole large cities on people's regret. Commission, omission, doesn't matter!

Though I totally think you should commit circus. I really do.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll do my very best when I care for Mr. Roxy's "socks and stuff." Thank you, thank you! I'm so happy I can help you achieve your lifelong dream!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

No, no--thank you! I know he'll be in...good hands...with you. ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL! I promise! :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

There you go!! Dream big, child, dream big!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Heck yeah!!

*WHIPPAH!* Get up on that chair, 'cause I say so!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

WHAT???

Oh, wait--I wanna be an RV Pirate now!!! Arg.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

All of that! LOL!!

I'll post stories of life under the Big Top--and I'll be slashing all the good looking ones like a mofuh!

*mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm* slobbery kisses--my fav kind! :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Girl, as long as I'm breathin' you'll never lack for funnel cake!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I know right? I could rock a red wig and rubber nose, heck yeah!

Mr. Roxy's begging for a bruisin'. He keeps telling me I should get "I can't drive 55" as my new tattoo. He really wants to get hurt bad, that man.
