Bday Weekend

I've decided there's one thing I REALLY like about Facebook - birthdays! I got a zillion bday greetings. That's gotta make you feel good.

I was busy with a bunch of pre-planned stuff last weekend... so no big 40th bday bash. And that was perfectly fine with me. I had fun anyway.

Ironically - or perhaps not - at a dinner I attended Saturday couples at the table where I sat ended up in a "to dye or not to dye" (your hair) conversation. Did they know I'd just turned 40?!?! I also found myself paying a little more attention than normal to some commercial about a facial cream that made a 43-year-old woman look 30. (No, I didn't buy it - yet.)

At church Sunday, my cousin told me congrats and said she felt "glamourous" in her 40s. Woo hoo! I'm going to feel "glamourous" for the next 10 years? 40's getting better and better by the moment!

Funny thing though: I woke up sort of motivated to 'get in shape' this year. I'm guessing that whole "re-evaluate your life" thing is normal at milestone birthdays...

but if I can end this year "glamourous" AND in shape... geez -- I should've turned 40 ten years ago! :)
