Oh Lordy, I'm 40

Not a big deal really, just another day, except…
I got online this morning to retrieve the birthday cards that were hinted at all week. They were sent to my website email, and my website is down along with the email. This happens alot, but I’m only paying $6.00 for webhosting so…
I decide to take a hot bubblebath, and maybe a cool beverage. I look in the fridge and see that hubby got some Bartles & James coolers, not the usual flavor (mountain berry), these are melon something. I take a taste, YUCK! But I already opened it, so maybe it just needs some sweetener. No, now it’s sweet AND bad. Meanwhile I’m running the bath water and go to squirt in some bubblebath. The water is a dingy grey color and the bubbles are dying right before my eyes. Ok so they flushed out the main water pipe or something. I try again later after the water heats back up. Finally! I lay back in the warm bubble infested water, got my feet propped up, and some… thing… is…mis…sing. Instead of 10 Hot Pink toenails looking back at me, there’s only 9. How the hell did I loose the color off just one nail? Upon closer inspection I discover, 98% of the whole nail is gone! How odd, you would think that I’d atleast FEEL it. And then… HolyCrapThatHurts!!! :: whimper::
It’s not floating in the tub, or lying on the rug. Hmmm, I do remember the dog eating something off the floor earlier. And the day’s only half over. :frowning:

I’d still do ya!

Looking pretty hot for an old bag.

I wish I could remember when I was 40. Hell, I wish I could remember where I left my teeth!

Remember - you’re not getting better, you’re just getting older.

Does any of that make you feel better now?

Oh yeah - HAPPY B-DAY you hottie you!

:eek: I didn’t realize you were 40. You look much younger in your picture. (Not that 40 is old by any standards other than those of, perhaps, a 10-year-old.)

Great post, though. Made me laugh!

Happy birthday!

40 is hot. Don’t sweat it. 41 is when things really start to go downhill! :wink:

Happy Birthday, hillbilly queen!

I was actually a youngster of 35 in that pic. dantheman your post would be more convincing without the :eek:, but thanks anyway :slight_smile:

No sweat, that’s only 280 in dog years.

Heh, have a good one queenie!

I’m not kidding, dammit. :slight_smile:

I remember looking at it and thinking… “Wow… too bad she’s practically jailbait. Not to mention married…”

I just want to point out that the folks who posted in response (lieu, dantheman, Dinsdale and me) have a total of 21,435 posts between the four of us. That much experience can’t be wrong (and I’d guess that we all know something about the beauty of more experienced women).

Congrats on reaching a great age, **hillbilly queen[/]! Sorry the birthday celebrating has kinda flopped so far, but hey, physically that’s about the age when most of our bodies start flopping anyway, so…:eek: (My old boss likes to say, “I’m carrying the same load, it’s just that the cargo has shifted!”)

Seriously, 40 is a GREAT age! You’re old enough to know what you like and still young enough to do it! Enjoy your 40s, I hope you think they’re as much fun as I have! (I only have five months go to till I hit 50…aack!!!)

And as you can see, by the time one is starting to come out of one’s 40s, one also loses the ability to code. :smack:

I’m sneaking up behind you! (so hold still, this won’t take long! :D)

Happy Birthday!

Is this what I have to look forward to when I turn 40? If it is, I’m not even gonna bother. I’ll just stay 39 forever.

Happy birthday, queen!

Robin

Wishing you a great day, a great year and a great life! Happy Birthday.

Happy B-day, young 'un! Starting your 40s like this means it can only get better, right? Of course right! Would I lie to you??

Happy birthday to you too MsRobyn and hang on to your toenails.

Another June 26th birthday? YAY!

Happy birthday, hillbilly queen!

Happy Birthday.

I wanna see your pic!

Happy birthday, you sweet young thing, you! Better get a falsie for that toenail, though, lest your toe cleavage not measure up when you’re playing “This Little Piggy”…

So, is this how you’re celebrating - a bubble bath and a thread? It’s a milestone! Time to whoop it up! Break out the party hats and horns!

<tossing confetti with wild and reckless abandon>

Should there be strippers?? :eek:

Uh, yep. This is pretty much it. Hubby’s working tonight, so tomorrow will be celebrating day.
