Officially 40-something ...

So, I'm officially 40-something this past weekend. I had a great birthday and am so lucky to have such great friends who make me feel so loved. Took Friday off of work, somewhat slept in, got a massage, went to lunch for some wonton noodle soup with Kent, got a hair cut from Tuan, went to dinner Tracie and Janeen for some TGIFriday's Jack Daniels flat iron steak and dessert at Gourmandise, birthday party at Mo Bettah Steaks on Saturday, dinner and Masterpiece Theater at Brenda's on Sunday, and sushi with Pat on Monday night ... I'm sure I'll be celebrating some more in the coming days, weeks and months ... I'm so feeling the love ♥♥♥
