Hello Forty

So today is the day, my birthday.  My fortieth birthday.  It's been a lovely day.  I took the day off of work.  I slept in until ten in the morning, had a nice lunch with my son and even managed to take some photos of myself.

Tonight I'm out with friends.  If I'm not here tomorrow, it's because I was bought one too many drinks.

To be clear, this is not a 365 project.  Between my work schedule, being a mom, and everything else, that would soon become phone long arms many days.  I am committing to 52 weekly photos and I will add others in as I take them.  I am posting to two groups on Flickr as a part of this.  They are:

In the Picture  You can also see In The Picture on the Urban Muser blog.
Me Again Monday - a 52 week group that offers a them for each week.  Look for my "Me Again Monday" posts on, you guessed it, Monday's.

Here are today's birthday photos.

and look, my husband is home!

Dark, because, I can't resist a dark, grainy black and white

Well, I'm off to eat a big dinner before meeting many friends out for drinks!  Have a fantastic weekend!
