40 :-(

Well, it's official. I'm 40. I'm not taking it well. In fact, I had a weird ridge on my fingernail, so I googled it. They said it HAPPENS WITH AGE. So, ON my 40th birthday, I'm already noticing my body falling apart! Despite my aged and decrepit body, I had a great birthday! First, I got some fun presents from my friends. They know me well...

I got a whole pack of 'em!

Girl power! Wm is confused by this one.

And, Steve went out of his way to make sure I had a great birthday weekend! I woke up on my birthday and the whole downstairs was covered in streamers and balloons and festive happenings.

However, the balloons didn't last long. As Flip decided they were evil and must be stopped. Here he is popping 2 of them (and you can see evidence of his recent escapades all over the floor behind him!):

I also LOVED the card Steve got me. Not to mention the sweet things he wrote in it. But, the front makes me laugh every time I see it!

Then, Mimi took me to IKEA and we had a shop-a-thon. I got some really cool stuff!! That evening, we went out to our favorite place for dinner. Someone was grumpy and gave me the side-eye, though:

And now, it's Monday, the festivities are over - and it's just me and my nail ridges.
