I''m 40. Just saying.
 

40? really? I just ain't feeling it.... Do I have to get the bifocals today?

I got my first pair at 45, but my eye doctor told me that my eyes seem to be aging faster than normal.

I hate glasses, i wear contact lenses.

But 40? Really? I feel 25.

Does that make you a cougar now?

40 the new 25. Im coming up to 50 and that is weird.

Equation: 40 + female=cougar

I reckon that's leaving a variable or two out of the equation.

well beest is still 39.....

does nobody feel the need to correct my double apostrophe? :lol:

No bifocals. Get yourself a purple outfit and a big red hat!

I don't feel my age either. The 40s are the BEST.

Happy Birthday! :celebrat:

no wai! no hats :lol: thanks

40s for me = my dreams are all dead and I'm too old to make new ones.

:comfort:

40s are as hard as any other decade, I suppose, but when you get to this age you should know yourself pretty well by now. I don't expect that I'll ever change into a domestic goddess, that clothes won't lie around the floor, that I'll become less emotional and more driven, that I won't cry when people win a bunch of money on a game show (heheeee...I'm just so damn happy for them), that I'll be a great friend and daughter and sister who remembers to send cards or pick up the phone....

The beauty of it I've found myself saying "sure, I can work on improving things and doing better, but I am just human me. I'm not human him or human her...I'm just me." Struggling along as we all do, but liking myself much better than I did when I was so much younger.

It's empowering!

Shawnee is wise. But I can still dream of being a domestic goddess, can't I? (while not giving up any other aspect of my busy life) :lol: My birthday gift to myself was supposed to be getting my house neat and tidy and clean. I failed. You can't even tell I tried. But I know I tried, and I know it's better. Sorta. Ah well. My friend just took me out for breakfast. I realised I was hungover. Start as you mean to go on..... :D

that's a big one! congratulations, and many happy returns of the day.

thanks

Happy Birthday Monster! The 40's are great! (The first three years anyway.)
