Happy Birthday to Me

Today is the day that I start pushing 40. Actually, I don't start pushing until 3:47 p.m. when I officially turn 39. I just checked my profile on this blog and saw, in print, my age as 39 for the 1st time. I have seen it on cards for the past couple of days, but the blog profile is the first "official" announcement. I am also wearing my special birthday socks. My mother sent me this pair of socks for my birthday when I was away my freshman year of college (1987) and I have worn them every birthday since. This is their 20th year. They are soooo 80s, aqua and pink, but they are my special birthday socks and unlikely to wear out at one use per year.
