This month I turned forty years old. Ugh. I thought I was ready, but it was hard. I\u2019m still not happy about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I probably should have planned for a big celebration to offset the emotional toll that comes with this particular milestone. Alas, I had a plain but pleasant birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday I went to a morning dance class. For lunch Ben and I tried Meta Burger. The oat milk shake was ok, and the fries were good, but the vegan burger gets a big thumbs down. Ben thought the brioche bun was great at least. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went shopping at Flatirons for some new clothes that fit. I found a couple pieces, and some more things the next week at other stores. It\u2019s hardly worth shopping in real stores anymore – they don\u2019t stock all their sizes and colors so you end up ordering online anyway! I was able to try things on and figure out my size at least. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got tacos for the family on the way home and Ben picked up Thai food for my dinner Sunday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday, my actual birthday, was quiet and nice. The boys got me flowers and made a banner. I had a lot of great presents to open. Family and friends called to wish me a happy day. I played loud music in the kitchen and baked myself a carrot cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had my fav Thai pumpkin curry for dinner while we watched the first half of Thor Ragnarok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dinner we played our family campaign of the Cuphead card game. Then they served me the carrot cake and sang the classic song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a great 39th year. I hope to keep the good vibes growing in my 40s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
