I'm Not Embarrassed To Say That I'm 39 Today



It's the last day of the big Blogaversary Party (still time to enter giveaways)! I included today so that it would be like I was having a birthday party at the same time - Woo Hoo!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She's HOW old?? *Gasp* Yup, I'm 39. And not ashamed to say it! But when people ask me how old I am, I will be saying "almost 40" because it's true - I'm on the downhill slope to 40 now. Really, it's just a few hundred blog posts away. :)

Also, I figure that nobody will believe me when I say 39. No, not because of my youthful beauty - snicker - but because people who are 40+ often don't like to admit their age, so the next logical fake age to use is 39. So when I say 39, they'll nod knowingly and say,"Yeah, me too sister!" And then I'll say,"No, I'm really 39!" and they'll say, "uh huh.sure."

There are some things to look forward to when turning 40. I had some friends recently decide that after turning 40, instead of celebrating a "birthday week" (like we currently do), it becomes a "birthday month"! So why wouldn't I look forward to THAT? And when I turn 40, I can do a post that I have in mind - 40 things I like about turning 40. 39 things I like about turning 39 just doesn't have the same ring to it. Oh, and I'll be considered mature.

Reminder - I am only 39 and thus I do not have the memory problems of a 40 year-old. I might forget all about this post when I turn 40 next year.

How old are YOU??!

  5. Happy Birthday Chick!! And 39 is great. I'm 45! Yikes, whenever I write that number I gasp just a bit. Then I realize I LOVE being 45!
    I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. That feeling of being at peace with who I am and who God has called me to be. I'm still a work in progress but I love where the Lord is taking me.

    Happy Birthday! You spring chickie!

  8. You certainly do not look almost 40.

    I turned the big 4-0 last year and no body believe me when I tell them. And *gasp* I will turn, the year after 40 on Wednesday.

    Stopped by via Twitter. Couldn't resist the chocolate! :-)

  13. 34 last month. I was worried there for a sec that I was going to be the young one on here leaving a comment, but I saw some younger.
    Happy Birthday!

  14. 39? No way! I would have thought you were much younger than that! I turn 35 this year and still can't believe it. How did I get to be mid 30s. Time is marching on way too fast my friend!

  15. Lisa, I'm 36! Notice how were following close behind you?
    You look great. Now, let's encourage each other on the fitness thing and see what happens.

    Getting healthier is always good, no matter how old we are.
