So, my birthday has come and gone, and can you believe no one took pictures! How will I tell if I have aged much ten years from now?
I wasn't too worried about turning 40, I mean it's the new 30 right? Maybe now I can feel like I am really an adult. Up until now I have never felt my age. Not that I feel like I am immature, it's just that I have never felt too comfortable being me. Does that make sense?
The morning of my birthday, Byron wished me a happy one, everyone did but Jack. He just wouldn't say it. Part of me laughed it off of course, but there was this part of me that took it hard. Maybe it was because I am now FORTY! This was personal. Later in the day I was having a self pity moment. I had wanted to at least have lunch or something with some friends, but I don't feel I know anyone well enough here. Sad, huh? "Hey, we just met, but you wanna have lunch with me on my birthday?" I admit I broke down for like 5 minutes in the parking lot of a shopping mall. What has gotten in to me? Dang! Before you know it the hot flashes are going to start!
Well, I got over it as quickly as it came. I am now glad to be 40. I have always had trouble in the wardrobe dept. I never felt right in my clothes. Now I can buy the styles I always wanted to wear and feel like I am dressing my age! 'Cause you know, 25 yr olds just don't look right in clothes from Talbots!
I must be like a fine wine. I am improving with age. I am truly feeling more comfortable in my skin. Maybe that's why I never felt my age. I am an "old soul". I am going to be HOT when I am 50. Oh wait, that will most likely really be from the hot flashes. Make it 60 then...I will be smokin'.

I'm sorry!!! I should've taken you to lunch! What a crappy friend I am!
Thanks for sharing your birthday with us anyway!
Happy Birthday! How did I miss it? I would have taken you to lunch! 4-0 was an interesting birthday for me this year as well. I suddenly FELT old. Was your birthday yesterday? I guess I haven't been on fb.(We're dealing with the flu over here. Yuck.) Anyway you look great at 40 and you have a beautiful family! Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday, Elizabeth!! And don't feel bad. We have lived here 4 years and I didn't get a call or a lunch invitation or anything. And not a card. Not a word from any of my best friends. Nothin'. That's why I did the 42 comments thing on my blog. I needed some lovin'! Enjoy 40! It's for better than it's cracked up to be.
Love, Martie
That would be FAR better, not for better. I guess the spelling is lost with old age. Don't say you weren't warned! :O)
Happy Birthday! I would have had lunch with you!!!
