I turned 40 yesterday! It wasn't bad at all. I remember when my mom turned 40, I thought she was sooooo old. 40 isn't what it use to be.... I think I will embrace and love it.

Happy 40th! Remember that 40 is the new 30. I just turned 40 in October. It's been okay, so far. :)

Acura,

Happy Birthday and welcome to the club.

Remember, in just another 10 short years, you will be able to join the Red Hat Society!

And if anyone's a member, I'm just kidding!

I thought 40 was sooo old too. Doesn't it always seem not quite so old when we get there??

BarbaraM,
If you don't know what it is, I'm thinking that you can't possibly be any where near 50!! LOL!

It's a nation-wide "club" so to speak, that was founded by a woman, for ladies over 50. They have been on the Q, selling various purple and red items, which is their "uniform".

They wear funky-looking red & purple hats, usually with feathers in them, and do lunch, ect. Seems like they are basically thumbing their noses at peoples' perception of what "over 50" should look like, IMHO.

Still, when I get to 50, I wouldn't be caught dead in some of those get-ups they wear. And again, no offense to anyone who is a member. ;)

If you're really interested in the Red Hat Society, get on the 'net and look up the poem "When I Am Old" by Jenny Joseph--that's what started the ball rolling!

Happy belated Birthday Acura! I'm glad 40 is ok. That's the one I'm worrying about already (4+ yrs to go). Best wishes for many more :)

Thanks for all the belated wishes! Part of my birthday present was a surprise dinner cruise on Saturday. The best part of the surprise was my parents, sister, and best friend were there waiting on us. I cried like a baby!!!! They live about 6 hrs. from me so, I really wasn't expecting them.
