TuRNiNG 40

No thought-provoking post.

I am going to bed for the last time in my thirties. I will wake to a new decade of love, laughter, family, friends. Those are the gifts I treasure.

  3. Happy Birthday!! About an hour and a half early. But better than way late.

    Is there a countdown to vacation yet?

    A colleague of mine leaves on Thursday for a cottage he rented on St John's. For a WEEK. Honestly, I hate none of you. None. I swear.

  15. Happy 40th Birthday. One of my bf turned 40 last year and she just made it to 41. Have a great trip. Can you have your dh call mine and tell him I want a trip for my 40th?! ;)

  16. We've been buried by home improvement projects which has kept me from my dear Internets, so I just saw this now! Happiest, most MANIC birthday to you, Steph!!! Hope it was awesome, and you'll have to give me a preview about how cool and amazing and wonderful those 40's are, so I'll be prepared in a few short years. :)

    Hope it was a great one!

  17. Happy Birthday Steph. The gifts you treasure are right in line. i woke one day recently asking 'where am i?, what day is this?' and last night two blood donors did their part in saving my life as i received two transfusions.

    THANKS FOR YOUR BLOOD DRIVES!!!!!!

    And they are right, 40 isn't so bad. It's the other crap that happens as we age that really stinks us up! :)
