Today's my first full day of being forty.
Can't say that I feel any more aged, mature, decrepit, or engaging than yesterday.
But supposedly it's a big birthday. 33 was a big birthday for me, and I predict that 45 is going to be difficult, or feel like a milestone.
HT to Mrs. Plumeria for the cake picture.

HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! Nice cake.
Hey, welcome to the 40s. It's a nice enough decade.
I think 43 (this year) is going to be harder than 40.
Well - I'm not sure to say Happy Birthday or not *g*. FWIW - I didn't mind turning 30, 40 or 50. It was adding 7 after that got to me. I hated turning 37, 47 and well - I haven't hit 57 yet but I'm sure I'll hate it most of all.
what a pretty cake!
may there be many happy returns...aka happy birthday suisan!
Welcome to the club! I've just passed my first 6 months of 40-hood, and it's not that bad.
Happy Wednesday!
Happy Unbirthday Suisan!
Okay, why 33? Mine was 35 and now it seems every year after that ;)

Happy birthday.
I'm not sure *why* 33 was a big deal; it seemed OLD in a way that 32 didn't.
I think it's that I remember being in Elementary school and telling a friend that my mother was 33. And I remember being in college and making a banner for my mother's 50th birthday. That seemed like an "adult" age. Now it doesn't seem like such a big deal.
45 is going to be tough, I'm sorry to say, because that's the age my aunt was shen she died. As I get older I reach the end of her life, which is very odd.
Damn morbid thoughts. Avast!
Thanks for the birthday wishes, you guys.
Happy belated birthday, Suisan.
Ah yes. I remember feeling weird at 27 because my mother had me at that age. Since we can't have children it's always been a bit weird thinking about my current age and knowing my mother had two kids by now!

Happy Belated UnBirthday.
40 was fine it was 35 that sucked. I remember telling my brother this and he completely agreed. 35 was the year Mom announced I'd reached middle aged, half way to almost dead.
Happy late birthday!
and you and Charlene Teglia are almost exactly the same age.
