In honor and celebration of my 40th birthday...my posts this week are going to focus on 40 things, people, experiences, etc. that help(ed) make me the woman I am today. Some will be lighthearted and some will be really personal. I realize, it is a little self-indulgent, but a woman of my age and with her own blog can do that!
Here's the first of the series...

Your list proves what I've known all along, behind that fashionista, drama lover, you are one of the most practical people I know and love. If your Dad only knew what he was really asking for, we really are a lot alike. Many of the items on your list would make mine also. It's been 15 years since I've seen the beach and oh how I'd love to feel the ocean breeze and walk in the sand. We share the love for cookbooks, and who could live without sharpies and scotch tape. I'd add an open fire on a cool fall evening, and my Mom's graham crackers pies. Celebrate this birthday like no other, even if you wait till August. Treat yourself. Live life to its fullest. I love you.
Lime Slushies-YUM. Lime is my favorite too. Did we know that about each other?
Wall Flowers, though...yuck.
:)
