Happy 40th to me!!

Tuesday was my birthday! I turned FORTY! Yes, I am admitting it. I feel like I should be acting more grown up. (should, being the key word.....because I just don't see it happening anytime soon....) But I also feel a little more empowered, a little more like an adult, and a lot more old....but not really. I'm proud to be 40. It's going to happen no matter what, right? I might as well enjoy the journey along the way! (okay, now I'm just grasping.....jk)

My Mom gave me this tag to hang from the rear-view mirror of my car and I proudly displayed it right away. "LOOK WHO'S 40" I won't comment on the "black" color....isn't it great? (Thanks Mom)

Want to see my present? I know you do! It's something I have wanted for a long time. And I've waited patiently for the precise moment it went on sale for a HUGE discount. The proper title of this gift is called, "Reversible Omega." It's a necklace....It has gold on one side and silver on the other. It is beautiful and I feel like a real queen when I wear it. (A little out of my league, really....but I'm getting used to it). Here is a picture, which by the way, doesn't do justice for its beauty! (I already had the "slide"---that's just attached because I wore it on Sunday).

And here is what I woke up to in the morning! The biggest smiley faced balloon I've ever seen. It made my day! Thanks honey!

When the kids got home from school, we all went bowling. I did HORRIBLE! (nothing unusual). And Todd was happy because he got the high score.....but really wasn't anything to shout about in the end (sorry Todd). But we had a good time.

It was a great day, filled with many phone calls, emails, and comments on FB....thanks everyone for making it such a special day for me.

What happens now that I'm beginning my 40's? YIKES!
