Eye cream in one hand and Blogging for Dummies in the other hand

OK ... so I am doing this -- blogging!  I turned 39 years old today and will be chronicling my journey to 40.

I am armed ... with eye cream (who knew that black circles appear under your eyes the day you turn 39) and with another book with the word 'Dummies' in the title.  I am addicted to those books ... I have the Cooking for Dummies, Time Management for Dummies, Yoga for Idiots ... I am beginning to see a trend -- I buy the book and then it all stops, no cooking, wasting time and no downward dog!! 

I vow that Blogging for Dummies will be different ...

Excited, scared, neutral ... all the words that describe how I feel about turning 40.  I have a year to get comfortable with it.  Some days I am petrified and some days I don't care.  It is funny I don't feel 39 ... whatever that means.  I remember my parents and their friends turning 40 ... it was a BIG deal.  They spray painted the lawns with a big 4 - 0, there were a lot of flamingos and parties! 

I am off to a bad start on the 39-thing ... I lost my car in the Michael's Craft store parking lot and walked around like a complete schmuck ... talking to myself.  Then for a flash I thought ... now I know why my Mom ties a ridiculous flower to her atennae.  OMG ... am I my Mother!??! 

Well ... that is it for today.

  3. Don't I know it. You & your Mom are both very lucky to have each other. Çan't imagine what I would have missed if you both had not been in my life for the past 40+ years.
