I just turned 40. Amazing.
I wore the tiara all day. It made me feel fabulous. I mean, I'd turned 29 for 10 years in a row, so I thought it was time to fess up and embrace my age....
It was also World Smile Day , so my advisees and I passed out smiley face stickers to every student in the school and smiley face buttons to all of the staff. It was fun to see so many students and teachers wearing their smileys...
Then, Scot took me out for my birthday. We ended up at Yankee Doodle Tattoo and Ace hooked me up with some sweet birthday ink....as I "rise from the ashes of my 30's"....
On Sunday we had the family birthday party out at the family farm. My brother, Charlie, had a truckload of pumpkins so we all had a fun family game of pumpkin baseball and pumpkin bowling...I won the pumpkin bowling and was crowned the Pumpkin Queen:
It was the best birthday ever. No gifts other than being in the presence of my family and friends. It felt great.
"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy,
they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom."
~Marcel Proust
