Forty

Today is the big day - and oddly enough, I don't feel any older.

Justin says he didn't mind being married to a forty year old woman as much as he thought he might - of course he was delerious since we were still awake when it struck midnight and my birthday started - so I didn't make him sleep out with the goats.

My brother, Davey, called at 6:30 to make sure he said happy birthday

My folks sent me a care package - including several perfect presents - flocked work gloves, a great spinner with a lady bug for my garden, and an ice cream scoop with a sharp edge. I will be trying it out with birthday cake tonight!!! Mom also picked out a ceramic jar with sunflowers. It is a "little box" and I am sure that is why she sent it.I am a pack rat. I have about fifty - or more like a hundred - little boxes with stuff in them. One with lip balm, one with jewelry, one with old movie stubs - seriously - just stuff. So now I have another little box to put at the bedside!

We went swimming with my inlaws last night - and in a surprise move, my mother in law gave me some beautiful flowers and a check for a birthday present. It was very thoughtful - and unexpected. They also gave me a cooler with the strict admonishon to take it inside....and I just now remembered it the next morning - so I am off to the parking lot ot go retrieve the cooler!!!

Hope today finds you well

And if you need some 666 humor - here is a cute spot I found.
