I'm 40. And 1 Day.

I know I promised to not obsess, and really - I'm not - but I thought since I tortured you all through the process of turning 40, I'd at least let you see that I'm hanging in there.  I haven't broken a hip yet, my hair is still pink and I have all my teeth except the ones I voluntarily let be removed in order to augment the orthodontist's needs.

I had a really nice day yesterday.  The boys were extra sweet, they gave me a gift certificate for a spa pedicure at my favorite salon and made me my favorite kind of cake.  Krispy Kreme Chocolate Glazed Donuts.

My cake...by request

They took me to Wasabi, a local Japanese Steakhouse for dinner and we pigged out on steak and shrimp and all the goodies that go with it.

Dr. SmartyPants arranged it all, of course, and I got to pick up my birthday present today.

Happy Birthday to Me

Dang, it's my new 'stang

I let him drive

Self Portrait with Mustang

He is SO getting lucky tonight.

    Ruh-roh...I smell trouble. The last time you had a convertible, you RUN OFT to Dallas and divorced your husband. Not exactly like that, I know, but it does sound cool, doesn't it?

    Sweet, sweet car! Sounds like a perfect 40th birthday, wish I could have been there.

    Ai - I didn't know you graduated from UA!! When? I got my B.S. in '94 and my M.S. in 96 - both at Alabama. And that's where Dr. SmartyPants and I met when he was a post-Doc and I was a Ph.D. student.

    (insert "It's a Small World" music here...)

    Diahn, I graduated on Dec 2001. I did a Ph.D there before heading back to Thailand to teach. May be we might have crossed path. Roll Tide.
