My new favorite drink: a Lemon Cupcake Martini – only 3 ingredients in this easy martini recipe that tastes like a lemon cupcake!
Yesterday was my 39th birthday. How I got to be “almost 40” I’ll never know…I blinked and went from 25 to 39. I’m excited to be this age (except for the wrinkles, metabolism, and age spots) because I kind of just want to get to 40 already. Mel turned 40 the year we got married (15 years ago) so I’ve been kind of chasing him this whole time. (Plus, I’m going to have a kick ass party for my 40th…and I’m already excited for it.)
My 38th birthday (and the months following) were less than fun. We had some stuff going on personally that just kicked my butt and sent me into an anxiety/depression tailspin. The latter half of this year was me getting my emotional life back on track, so I kind of feel like I’ve already run the self-discovery marathon that is approaching 40.
When I was 25 and newly married I was told by my in-laws that when you get into your late 30s and 40s you start to not care about the little stuff as much. You start to find your voice and come into your own. Having this blog has helped me do the former, and the events of the past year have helped me with the latter. I still have a lot to work on, but life is long; I have some time.
That all said, I do have a sort of “40 year old Bucket List” of things I want to do before I turn 40. When I started putting together the list I realized there are just a few things I’ve really always wanted to do but never done; things that if I put my mind to them should be easy to accomplish.
After all, a few weeks ago I accomplished something I said I could never do: run a half marathon. The rest should be easy in comparison!
