Turning 40?

[Sis]

Twas the eve of her 40th
can it really be here?
The very last moments
of her 39th year!

In her youth she'd go out
and be late getting in,
nowadays she drops
into bed around ten.

She sits and remembers
her high school days,
when dreamy singers and
big cars were really the rage.

She recalls her physique
was without imperfection.
Now all her good parts
are a-changin' direction.

Her hair is breaking
and getting quite thin.
She's been tryin' to convince us
that grey hair is "in".

As she stares at her scale
in great disbelief,
five extra pounds
only add to her grief.

Her afternoon jog
has taken a hike.
Listening to soft music
replaced the exercise bike.

Diet food and fiber are
a must for every meal,
and decaffeinated coffee
is part of the deal.

I guess there's really
no sense in denying,
she's going downhill
her brain cells are dyin'.

She laughed at her friends
when they reached this same age,
it's not quite as funny
since she's turned the page.

So she realizes that 40
isn't so nifty
but for the moment
it beats turning 50!

The day I turned 40, Dina and I had been to her state choir competition and had an 8 or more hr ride back home on a charter bus.  All I wanted to do was rest when I got home, but when I got there, my dear husband was trying to surpirse me and had a house full of company.   I had to run to the restroom for a few minutes of peace and pray so that I wouldn't be too grouchy since I knew he was TRYING to be nice.

[Sis]

Awwww! He was tryin' to be nice to you.

I always wonder what it will be like when I turn 40.  The years seem to be going by so fast. I remember when I never thought 18 would get here.  I know it sounds silly to some of ya'll, but sometimes I have to remind myself I'm not 18 anymore.  I see some 17 year olds and think "they're just a year younger than me" then I realize that I'm 21 like Sis.

(Heres a little poem I wrote when I turned 40)

When I had to be home by ten
There was so much to do back then.

Now that I can come home around two
Can't find anything to get into

So I guess I might as well stay at home.

I dreaded 40 now looking forward to 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and so forth

[Mrs. Yosemite]

40 aint so bad.  I still got it! .  (Just cant remember where I put it.) hehehe  

[Sis]

There must be some medicine for it. Once you find it, that is.

My hubby just turned 40 this past Wednesday (June 3rd).

[Sis]

My UNBIRTHDAY is July 11th. A week after the 4th. I don't celebrate it anymore but I do accept gifts and cards on the anniversary of the one I used to have.

Stevebert used to say, "She will accept lobster and $20 bills."    That nut.
