4-0

Work and school have been too busy and distracted me from the approaching day.  I didn't want to make a big deal of if, but did want to mark the milestone.

I remember my parents turning 40 when I was young and thought that to be old.  :)

Bill arranged a lovely dinner in a private room at my favorite restaurant these days (Root Down).  It was great to be with friends and hope to celebrate in a part 2 in Portland in October.

I was going to take my actual birthday (Monday) off, but had to go in for a couple of meetings.  I received flowers at work and my coworkers brought in champagne and OJ for mimosas and pastries. In the afternoon I went to yoga and had a great dinner with Bill, kids and my parents.

I also got many voicemails, cards and FB, where birthdays are celebrated in mass!  

So far, 40 feels the same.  In fact, that morning I woke up with 2 pimples, making me feel like a teenager again.  My midlife crisis has been to workout/run, so I'm better shape than when I entered my 30s!
