Lordy, Lordy.

I turned forty.

Yesterday, in fact. We had a quiet weekend at home in and out of the pool. It was fabulous!

Today, my wonderful niece made me a from-scratch birthday cake of my own onto which she'd piped the words "40 In Age, 20 In Spirit" - how awesome is that? It was delicious, too.

I'd have to say that all of my wishes came true this summer - I got my swimming pool, my pink toaster and my 'Bumpy Cake' chair - what more could I want? Oh, and my sister and I will be attending the 2011 Women's Conference in September. This is quite a banner year for yours truly, friends.

The night of my birthday even brought me ALL of my favorite TV shows, with the sole exception of "Mad Men". Can you believe we won't see a new season until something like March of 2012? Ugh. But "True Blood" was delicious and "Breaking Bad" kicked ass all over the joint. Me gustan.

Tonight I was able to share my favorite YouTube video with my sister, who'd never seen it. Let's hope it's new to you, too - because it's just that good:



I hope your summer is going as well as mine, friends!
