It's true. On Friday I crossed that invisible line into Middle Age. I've been fretting about this Birthday for a long time...since college really. My college friends and I would randomly blurt out "I'm gonna be 40...some day!" (quoting "When Harry Met Sally"). The truth is, I don't feel middle aged. Yes, the college students that I work with regularly seem awfully young, and I often wonder how various celebrities got so old. I have to admit occasionally that I can't do some things that I used to, but otherwise aging hasn't been all that bad. (Except that my Jr. Prom gown can't zip by about 3 inches and I just might need to wear it some time!)
My wonderful friends got together and threw me a crazy 40th Birthday Party on Saturday. I spent 3 or 4 hours over the past 2 days to create my first movie of the experience...it's only about 2 minutes long.
Some memorable quotes:
J, while lighting candles on my cake - "Wow! It's getting really light in here!"
T, while discussing old age - "I want to die of a massive stroke. I don't want to linger."
L, talking about how old I am - "Now you gonna get white hair!"
Out of the blue, the weather went from 50* and raining yesterday afternoon to 30* and snowing by bedtime. The dog, who is now taller than us when we sit on the couch, is anxious to go out. And to top it off, I am in no mood for school today. Truancy laws reign supreme, however, so off we go.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this. SO fantastic.
And who is that woman in the powder pink dress with her hair up dancing? No way is she a day past twenty.

She doesn't act like it anyway!
