A nice dinner with a bottle of wine - still got asked for my ID! Now 50 is almost here and I don't get carded, sure don't feel any different than when I was 20, or even in my 30's.

I hit the big 4-0 milestone two weeks from today. That just sounds so OLD to me! Of course I don't think others are old at that age - just me! I've not been the kindest person to my family members on their big milestone days, so I'm kinda scared.

Don't remember my 30th birthday, I had a brand new baby to take care of at the time.

Don't remember my 40th birthday either. No particular reason, I just stopped caring about my birthday. I think I had to work that day, probably FAXed back the HMDA and CRA verification reports.

However, the other day, (and I don't know if the gal was just humoring me or what...), but I had a 6 pack of beer in my grocery order and the checker asked to see my ID! Now I KNOW that I could never be mistaken for being under 21, but I guess it meant that she was in doubt if I was over 30. (The sign says they card anyone under the age of 30.) Good enough for me!

Happy birthday! I don't remember 30, not because I am soooo old that I forgot it , it just wasn't anything spectacular I guess. However, having recently turned 40 in August, all I can say is: life gets better every day!

Happy Birthday to you. I was also busy with a new baby when my 30th came around so I have "baby amnesia" but I don't remember my 40th or even my 50th (and that only happened last August . When I was young I always wanted to be 35, I thought that would be a good time in my life. Looking back, it was. Every age has its rewards and its drawbacks, remember only the rewards and leave the drawbacks buried in the past. Excelsior.
