Well, here I am. 40. What have I learned in 40 years on planet Earth? That so many things I thought were important once just don’t matter. That confusion over priorities really can be settled in most instances by asking, “In a hundred years, will it matter?” And that Bigfoot really does exist, even if I haven’t seen him yet. All those blurry photos can’t lie!
Today we’ll be visiting the Hoh rain forest in hopes of spotting the legendary Sasquatch. Although if we don’t have a sighting, a hundred years from now it won’t matter. 😉
Belated happy birthday to your dad – and a whopping big Happy 40th to you, kiddo. ‘It’ only gets better!
Thanks, Lyn! It’s better than 20 or 30, that’s for sure *g*
Happy Birthday, Charlene!
Thanks, May! Didn’t get to see Bigfoot. Sniff. But having fun anyway. *g*
Happy Birthday!
Thanks, Ann! Great excuse to eat cake.
Happy Birthday Charli! 40 is the new 20!
Thanks, Michelle! I believe it. I’m still just a kid. *g*
Happy Belated Birthday, Charli! Forty is not so bad. 🙂
Happy birthday!!!
Hi Jordan! I expect forty to be the best yet. : )
Thank you, Lori! It’s been a great day.
Happy 40th Charli – glad you had a good day.
Thanks, Jaynie. It’s been great having the parents here for birthday week. *g*
Charli – hope your birthday was a good one…
So did your mom bake you a cake? Since she was there and all?
HAPPY FLIPPING BIRTHDAY!!!!
Did you see Sasquatch?
This side of forty is fine. Come on in.
(My main advice: don’t whine too much about being ollllld or you’ll hear “it’s better than the alternative” a lot. EXCEPT it strikes me that you’re so very much not a whiner so it’s not likely to be a line you’ll hear often.)
Lorelei, it was a good day. No cake. We ate pie! Will be baking a cake today for the baby who turns 2.
Kate, LOL, it does beat the alternative. I think you kind of start to hit your stride around 40. Didn’t see Sasquatch. Dammit. I think you have to take the trail up to Blue Glacier to get a decent Bigfoot sighting.
Happy Birthday My Love. You are still as beautiful as the day I met you.
Your Man
Awwww. : D Thank you!
Well, I’m a little late, but I do wish you a wonderful birthday (which should still be going on!) The 40s are great. You young whippersnapper.
Thank you, Jo! Whippersnapper. Heh. I may have that put on a coffee mug. *g*
Happy Birthday, Charli. I hope you ate tons of cake and had a spectacular day!
NJ, it was a great day. : )
