Happy Birthday. This year I will turn 40. I am actually looking forward to the big 4-0!!! For some reason 30 and 35 were not big deals. Just seemed like life kept going on. But this year has seen some big changes already and I am looking forward to the future! :)
My grandparents always told me that 40 was great but 50 was better...so I guess I have 10 more years to look forward to.
You can't text?! But you are like me in that you're in school and probably around folks who are 10 years younger than you...it should have rubbed off! After my first few months of law school, I had to up my texting plan with AT&T because my law pals were costing me a fortune in overages.
I actually own a few funky graphic t's and I can still pull them off, thank you! I'll tell you where I draw the line, though: no man older than 28 should ever wear anything with a logo from Abercrombie & Fitch. It just screams out, "I'm terrified of aging!" Every time I see a gay guy my age in that crap, I just want to take his hand and tell him it will be okay.
So happy birthday to my long-lost twin sister, who for the next three months will be a year older than me. Poor mother must have had a horrible time in labor taking that long between us!
Happy birthday!!!!!
And please, 35 is NOT old! take heart in the fact that I'm OLDER than you. :D
Hope you had a great day.

Craig, I'm ALWAYS looking for ways to make myself a big deal. :-D
Christopher, NO, I can't text...at least not well. I take too long--like a hunt-and-peck typer. Anyway, it's simply not in my nature to abbreviate, substitute numbers for words, and misspell stuff on purpose.
And the graphic T statement was geared toward women. Men of age can still pull the look off. A 35+ year old woman in a Juicy Couture baby tee is just trying too hard.

Well, it's your fault for kicking me out! You just had to have the womb all to your self. :-)~
Menchie, I had no idea. I thought you were close to my age but younger. You seem younger somehow. That's a compliment, BTW.
