more Remembrance Day posts coming tomorrow but for today ---

happy birthday to me,
happy birthday to me,
i am now 41 years old - woohoo!
happy birthday to me!

jambaloney and i don't celebrate our birthdays (his is next Wednesday on the 16th), but for some weird reason i feel like celebrating today. i have had many women in my life tell me that they loved their 40's and i think i am starting to understand why. i have never been happier in my life and i have jambaloney to thank for that.

it is a good day.

  2. kymber, Happy Birthday. When I was in my forties, I could not wait to turn fifty!

    mmasse,
    I thought Mae West said that! Oh yeah, she was talking about men.lol....no, I was not confused. But, I think maybe Mae West's quote might work for kymber since she has jambaloney.

  4. teeheehee Matt - i ain't an 'ol gray mare....yet! thanks buddy!

    mmasse - sooo very true. and my life just seems to get better and better. again, entirely due to jambaloney!

    PracticalP - i am not rushing my 40's at all. being 40 was awesome and 41 feels even better - i can't imagine what the rest of the 40's will feel like and am then looking forward to the 50's! thanks for sharing that!

    Joey - thanks buddy! i am going to celebrate. we're going to do some odd jobs around the house and then go down to the river for the afternoon - i can't think of a better way to celebrate!!!

    thanks everyone. like i said, we haven't celebrated our birthdays in years. but today feels different. and i am really liking it!

  11. Birthdays are always what you make of it. I don't think I will bat an eyelash when I make forty here in a little over a dozen months. My parents are still riding bicycles across the US and they are late 50's early 60's. My grandfather just had a hip replaced so he could continue to play tennis and my grandmother got a pacemaker so she could play golf. They are in their late 80's. Age is a very relative thing and you seem to be doing well. Keep up the good work!

  15. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bunny Ears

    I remember how great life was in my forties. I think you're going to enjoy them as much as I did. Sure do hope so.

    After I reached a certain point I just started telling folks I'm 29 and you don't get to know the multiple.

    Keep smiling lady.

  16. you guys are the best! and so far my day has been awesome - jambaloney let me sleep in and did the dishes, soon we will eat some lunch and then go for a walk to the river. it's a little cloudy and overcast but the air is warm. it's a nice day regardless. and then tonight we have our fire hall meeting at 7. after that, we'll come home and watch a movie. couldn't ask for a better day!

    Mr. Smythe - what a nice way to put it! thank you Sir!

    russell1200 - i need your mailing address so that i can send you fifty bucks! thanks so much for saying that!

    Muddy - i need your address too. bahahahahaha!

    Phelan - i will keep you updated, no worries. so far all i can say is that this past year has been awesome and the one coming looks even better!

    thank you Donna! and i am so glad that your 40's have been great too!

    Ed - you are so lucky to have the genes that you have - your parents are amazing! and your grandparents! but if nothing else they are living proof that staying active and having fun will keep you young. i will try to follow their example for sure!

    thank you Duke, Sir. and you are right as usual!

    thanks Warlock! the 40's do seem to be pretty good!

    thank you Rob, buddy! i appreciate it!

    Dear Winston - thank you! i sure do hope my forties are like yours! i will keep smiling...you people always make me smile. and that warms my heart.

  22. JUGM - thanks so much for that! we made some home-made pizza, sat around talking about all that we had been through since we got here, laughed our faces off, went to the VFD meeting, froze our butts off, giggled to ourselves about the tedious things that people wanted to talk about, came home, some friends dropped by to drop off some more cranberries for us (they know that we love cranberries here so EVERYONE is picking them for us), chatted some more about what is to be done for the Manor, then climbed in bed. a full day. an awesome day. a 41yr old day. a day at the Manor - could anything be more awesome?

    thanks JUGM. i have really been enjoying your Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day posts. and it always nice to have a friend stop by!

    Love ya.
