This is 40

I turned 40 years old today!    I actually feel more youthful than when I turned 30!  I remember buying $200 worth of beauty products my last night as a 29-year-old.  Last night - my last one for my thirties, I bought Godiva chocolates and a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans.  Ok, the pants weren't the fanciest but they felt great because they were high-waisted and sucked in my post-baby bump wrinkles!  Ok  speaking of wrinkles - I did buy a moisturizing serum.  But it was Olay brand and on sale for $10!

Life is good.  40 is nothing scary!  I think what makes it feel great is that I have a loving husband with whom I do so many projects and around whom I can fart and burp and he still thinks I'm pretty.  I also feel blessed to have 2 beautiful, healthy (well, not that healthy right now as they have had high fevers this past week) children.  I have great friends, parents, and a sister with whom I speak regularly.  I feel loved!
