Coat Weather

Coat // top // jeans // boots // bag Eleventhirty // necklace

As I am writing this two things are happening. I can hear the rain pouring outside. It is definitely coat weather although I am certain a different kind is needed rather than the one in this picture.

The second thing is that I am staring down my 40th Birthday which will arrive tomorrow morning as if it was just a another day.

And for all intents and purposes it really is just another day. While I like my Birthday as an excuse to be a bit selfish I don’t really enjoy the fanfare that comes with it all. So after celebrating how others feel fit to celebrate a birthday with loud singing and making me feel uncomfortable I can celebrate tomorrow how I see fit with hugs and kisses from my family especially my fellow Birthday buddy my son!

I don’t particularly feel 40. I don’t really feel older save for the fact that I have more experiences under my belt. 10 years ago I was pregnant with my first child. The baby years were a part of my thirties. So was this blog as it too will be almost 10 years old. My fourties will be marked with the tween and teen years. I look forward to more travel. We have a trip coming up soon to explore a city my husband and I have never been to so that will be exciting.

I don’t really have any deep thoughts on turning 40. I didn’t complete a 40 things to do before you are 40 list. I just lived. You know laughed and loved and failed and learned. The usual everyday stuff.

So Happy Birthday to me. And cheers to 40 years.
