I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror and realized... it's my 39 birthday!!!! How did this happen???? I don't look 39!!!! I certainly don't feel 39!!! I still think I'm 25!!!!

How could this have snuck up on me???

AND... I'm now less than a year from 40!!!!!

I've decided... I'm sticking to 29!!! Finally, I understand Jack Benny!!!

There is a saying, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

"The older the bottle the sweeter the wine"

Happy birthday! Consider the alternative to getting older!! I will turn 45 soon and have to remind myself of that every once in a while.

Thank you EVERYONE!!! I was pretty depressed all day... but, after work, I found my mother AND my grandmother sitting in front of my house with my DD, waiting to take me to dinner (just the girls... four generations!!!) At dinner, my mother said pretty much the same as alot of you, that her 40s were GREAT!!!! So, I do feel alot better. And, you're right!! It's more how I feel, and I feel like 25!!! So there!!!

I even had a cake waiting for me at home from my DH... Happy 21st Birthday on the top!!! (hehe)

Thanks again!!!
