Party!!

Subtitle: What Ive learned after a few days of being 42.

Youre never too old to match.  (It’s hard to tell in the pic below, but our tees match.  She proclaimed us doppelgangers. I swooned.)

The Tornado Kids don’t care if you are gluten free–they still want them some cheap from-the-box-made cake on *your* birthday (and even though we’re detoxed she ATE CAKE.).

Yep. We baked cake-sicles.

Gifts are far, far sweeter when not only bestowed upon you.

Regardless what the media tells me I should feel– I find it far more fascinating than depressing Im 42 and my hands look 42 (ok they look older. I lifeguarded way too long back in the baby oil days to kid myself about this). Monday was a fantastic, family-filled reminder of the fact Im just thankful to be here—wrinkles be damned.

ooh remember that Oil of Olay commercial?!

OK.

Onward.

To the PARTY thing.

The misleading blog-post title which isnt actually misleading.
