I'm turning 40 in two weeks, on the 15th. I'm absolutely thrilled about that. I've been looking forward to it for years. I'm not sure why, but I feel like my 40's are going to be a great time for me. It seems like, to me, that most people's lives just go downhill as they get older. Mine is getting better, in just about all ways.
The only downside is that Monty may not be in town for either our birthday party, or for my birthday.
Heather and Mike have their birthdays just a few days away from mine, and so we usually have a joint party. I feel sorry for Mike this year though. I informed him that yes, he does have to deal with pink and flowers and fairies for his birthday, just because it's my 40th. I've got his present figured out. It's horribly tacky. Now I just need to call him up and see what Heather would want for her birthday.
Oh, this Christmas, I'm going to try to make all my gifts by hand.
I'm watching The original Oceans Eleven and it's making me hanker for the furniture. The drapes can go though.
birthdays,
friends,
