Fab Forty Update

Here we are another month into 2010, another month closer to my 40th birthday, another month I've had to work on my '40 Things' list.  February seemed to fly by!  I think I said that about January as well.  It is hard to believe it is already March.

Here is a little update on what I accomplished in the month of February...

• I wrote a guest post  for another blog.  In keeping with the whole 40 theme, I wrote about 40 Things I've learned.  (Thanks Linda for asking me to do that)
• I went on a date with my husband
• I had an evening out with girlfriends
• I gave away $40
• I did a random act of kindness

You can click on the 'Fabulous at Forty' button to see my updated list.  I'm enjoying accomplishing things on my list, but am eagerly awaiting spring and nice weather to do a few more things.  

I've got some stuff in the works that I'm excited about too, like some guest posts here at Six Bricks High, and a giveaway too.  Yes indeed, there will be a giveaway here sometime this week.  

In other news, I went bowling this weekend.  I bowled a 92 and I may have used bumpers to assist me.  My score may have been stinky but it sure was fun.  How was your weekend?  Did you get to do anything fun?  

Spirit Week Continues

Today was duct tape day.  

Tye-Dye duct tape, who knew?

Like Totally Tubular

This morning as I was upstairs getting ready for the day my daughter was preparing for spirit week at school.  I was applying make-up when I received this text message…

Mom get down here I need an 80s expert

It happened to be 80’s day at school and Tori wanted some input on her outfit.

Just another indication that I will indeed turn 40 this year.

40 Things I've Learned

Some of the details are hazy now but there are things about that late August day that have stuck with me through the years. The year was 1975; it was the year I started I school. The bell rang and the moms got their kindergartners settled into the classroom. I remember carefully checking out my surroundings. As I looked around the room at my new classmates I saw one girl crying. She was scared and unsure and more than anything she wanted her mommy. I went and stood by the crying girl thinking that maybe she would feel better if she had a friend on that day. We could face the big, scary world together and perhaps that would be a little easier...


If you would like to read the rest of the story, head over to Linda's blog where today I am her guest poster.  


Linda is turning 40 just like me this year, she even has a '40 things' list.


Be sure to check out her blog, I know you will love it!  She has got a great giveaway going on too.
