Today's the day I join the big kids - I'm officially 40 years old. 4-0. Forty. Four decades. Four times ten. You get the idea. When you're a kid, you think 40 is old. I mean,
OLD ... gray, wrinkled, incontinent. Now I realize that 40 is
NOT old. I don't
feel old and I don't look all too old, either. I mean, on a good day I look like this (a really good day):
But this is what I look like usually, so I might be getting older than I think:
Ah well, someone has to scare the kids into getting off to school in the morning, right? At least this year I'm celebrating at home and not off at a hospital visiting my husband. Happy Birthday, ME!
Happy birthday! You don't look old! Early 30s. Actually, I think old is, to some point, a state of mind more than anything.
ReplyDeleteAnnie dear, do the words "Spring Chicken" mean anything to you?
ReplyDeleteUm, I should probably have used another term with a cooking guru.
Happy Birthday!
Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Age is a state of mind you know... Here's how bad I'm loosing mine~ I was asked by a man visiting the house how old I was a week or so ago. My answer, 36. Hon, I'm 46, I'd just forgotten... :)
ReplyDeleteThere is no way on God's green earth that you will ever, ever look like that old hag. Some days you may feel like it, with all that you do, but look, nah! No way.
& thanks so much for the card. Here it is your birthday and I'm getting the goodies :) You made my day~
Have a very happy birthday, and a wonderful year to follow.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday you old fart!
ReplyDeleteOnly joking, hope you have a lovely day.

Anne - I turned 40 in June and you look at least ten years younger than me! Way to go on the milestone. And you are right - 40 is FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
For me, the traumatic one was turning 50! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEE-EAR ANNE...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU!
Happy birthday! That means you're 480 months, if you calculate the way we do for small children. I passed that mark a couple of years ago (so that I turned 510 months yesterday...but no cake, no balloons, no nothin')....
ReplyDeleteHippo-birdie, Annie. I wish you the happiest!
ReplyDeleteBig Brother Bobby.

Happy belated birthday! Ya know, when I was done with 40 a few years ago, I left it all beat up with thinning grey hair and a sore knee. Looks like you spruced it up a bit.
