42.


It's my birthday, y'all! And in case you didn't know it--42 is the new 42! I have no issue with my age and don't mind you telling somebody. Yes. 4-2. Not to be confused with 3-2 or whatever other number somebody prefers. I'm glad to be the age I am. Sure am.

42? Bring it!

  11. I've said it before and I'll say it again- I think a woman's forties are her finest decade. I look at you and I believe it even more.
    Happy birthday, gorgeous! Happy, happy birthday.

  15. Happy birthday to you! Soak up the kisses, hugs, flowers, cake and wine (there will be wine somewhere won't there?). It's your day.

    1. Come on, Mary Alice. Now you KNOW wine was involved. I would say "homemade hooch" but it was really just a full bodied red. But doesn't homemade hooch sound more interesting? Ha ha ha!

  20. Well, Happy Belated Birthday! I am halfway through 42 and I can tell you, I am loving my 40's. There seems to be a freedom in the 40's that I didn't have before. :)
