Big 4-0

Today is my birthday, and yes, it's that birthday. Strangely, I don't feel forty...whatever forty is supposed to feel like. As far as looking forty goes -- first let me point out here that I'm not saying this to brag, because the only reason for this is genetics and the fact that I was never into laying in the sun and/or tanning beds and ruining my skin -- I am happy to report that I look younger than my age. People are always surprised I'm as old as I am. However, I would look a lot better if I lost weight. (And I'm working on that, BTW. I started NutriSystem again yesterday. My mother says she will support me in staying on it, so I'm trying it again because I really did get great results.)

So, anyway...having my age start with a "4" will take some getting used to, but I'm okay with it. My sister gave me this...I think it's really cute and it made me smile. I don't know about the "sexy" part, but I'm still...not old! ;-)

Happy Birthday! I only have a year to go before my age starts with "4" too. I don't feel old either, well, not usually! ;)

Happy Birthday. I'll be 33 in 19 days, and I feel old in some ways. I can't read as small as text as I used to, and I'm not able to stay up half the night with the kids without repercussions. :)

Hi Barb and Dan,

Thank you! Well, I will admit to having more aches and pains than I used to. But weight loss usually helps that a lot. And I probably will need reading glasses in a few years. (Although I had LASIK, that corrects distance vision...you still end up needing reading glasses in your forties.)

hippo birdie two ewes!
40 wasn't as rough for me as 25 was - and now that I start my age with a '5' I look at 40 with longing.

If you have a moment, drop by my blog and admire my granddaughter, please?

Happy B-Day. I've been 40 for a month -- so far so good.

Thank you, Elena! :-) I had a good birthday...I'm glad nobody did that "Over the Hill" stuff.
