I had an epiphany of sorts today. Well maybe not that exciting...but if I were a cartoon character, a light bulb would have appeared over my head... it hit me today, 10 days into this new year, that this is the year I exit my 30's and turn (gulp) 40. I have joked in the past about being 25 but it is clear to me that I can't even fool the kids with that one anymore. So I might as well embrace it - or try to embrace it... I'm not going to lie, it might take me all year to do that. It's a good thing that I have another 6 1/2 months to get there... I keep thinking of that scene in "When Harry Met Sally" when Sally is crying and she says, "I'm going to be 40. Someday." I think I was about 16 when I first saw that movie so to me that someday was about a million years in the future at that time. But somehow, I have gotten here faster than anticipated. 40. 40. 40? It's starts to lose all meaning when I recite it in my head. In my effort to embrace this new number that is fast approaching and the new decade that it brings, I started feeling like I needed a makeover. Let's face it, with my indecision over hair changes it could take me the 6 1/2 months to make this decision. I need a hair change. I need a new cute style and a color to welcome in this new age. So I went to Pinterest today and started a board - because if I am going to obsess about this I might as well obsess on Pinterest and of course include it the blog - keeps me honest in my obsession I think. Did I mention - I am going to be 40. Someday.....this year.
