Yes, it’s time. Time to turn 40! Yesterday was my birthday and yes I turned the BIG 40! It’s a strange birthday. I don’t feel 40. In fact, I have never really thought of my age. Well, that’s not exactly true. When I was younger, before 21, I always thought about my age. Wanting to be older. When 21 hit, I just never thought about it. I don’t even think about it when I look in the mirror. To me 40 is just another year.
Now my oldest sister will turn 50 in August. She has been sending me birthday cards for the last month. What I always tell her (and she never gets) is that I have 4 months to plan my revenge. That’s just the way I am. We went to my nephew’s (her son) wedding a couple of weeks ago. It was beautiful and my sister has lost a ton of weight and looked fantastic. When we were leaving this is the conversation we had…..
Sister: “So how do you feel about turning 40? I was devastated when I turned 40!”
Me: “Actually I don’t feel that bad. You know they say 40 is the new 30.” (said matter-of-factly)
Sister: “Then that means that 50 is the new 40!” (said sassy)
Me: “So how does it feel to turn 40 again?” (said sarcastically)
Sister:”You need to leave!”
And that’s the way I roll!!!!
Happy Birthday to ME!!!
Later
BTW…Wii Fit says I’m 31! I think that’s more like it!
