I know I promised to blog more often but it’s not every week one turns 40. Yes, 40. It’s slowly sinking in, the horror of it. Here is the face of 40.
It’s ok, I had such an amazing week so full of love and support I can’t complain. It technically started on Tuesday when I took Go to St.Catharines to hang with my super awesome parents. My mom had asked what special birthday supper I wanted and I requested bouillabaisse. I’m sure her heart sank and she yearned for the days when I asked for hotdogs. It turned out so well and I hope she feels it was worth the effort. Possibly the best meal I’ve had this year! And wine! Wine, wine, wine, so good. The next day we went shopping stateside and that’s always a treat too, despite the disappointing nail polish situation.
I worked Thursday and Friday (my actual birthday, poorly planned I guess), and Shannon took me and my boss out for sushi. That was fun, especially taking T out to celebrate. Shannon had already given me my beautiful ring, made from one of my wisdom teeth that had been extracted 12 years ago.
I love it.
Yesterday my best friend and quilting mentor, Libs, took me out for birthday pho and gave me the most beautiful gift, a quilted pillow sham.
See that? My initials? I’m here to tell you that Libs is a genius. Further proof, the card she made me. I’m definitely ripping off this alphabet for future sewing projects.
Thank you Mum and Dad, Shannon, Libs, Therasa and all the love on Facebook for making this the greatest birthday yet!
Belated congratulations to you! The pillow is AWESOME.
The face of 40 looks gorgeous and fresh!
Thanks Megan! You, I like.
Happy birthday to yoooo! You look lovely, and green stripes! my favourite. I have to do the 40 thing next year apparently. Not looking forward to it, stupid round numbers. >:[
Best wishes for the coming year; joy, love and happiness to you.
If I look half as amazing as you do when Im 40 i’ll be one lucky lady. you look fantastic! Happy Birthday!
Thanks, Ashley. It’s all about good genetics, over which I have no control. And sun block, every day.
