the big 4-0

Oy!  How did this happen?  I'm 40 years old.  I definitely don't feel 40.  People tell me I don't look 40.  Are they just humoring me in my old age?  I spent the day with Sadie, my mom and some of my dearest friends.  I got some lovely gifts and Sadie did too!  Now if she would just give me an hour to write some very overdue thank you notes!  It was a beautiful day.  The best thing about this birthday is that my wish came true.  I may be 40, but I have a lovely, amazing, brilliant daughter to show for it!
