Hee, hee!

4-0 for me soon. The best part of that is you will always be older.

happy hippy hoppy birthday, and pray tell, did you at least get what you asked for???

congratulations! and don't worry...i asked for a bread machine when i turned 20 (and didn't even get it).

You gonna flaunt your bread maker in front of the Amish while they grind their flour by stone?

Something like that. And no.. I haven't gotten the bread machine yet. My hubby and kids looked all day. I'll have to order it from Amazon. I just HAD to ask for a Japanese model.

But it has 2..count them TWO kneading tines! http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-BBCCX20-Bakery-Supreme-Machine/dp/B0000T6J3I/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b

Welcome to the mid life party!

39a Happy Birthday!

Halfway to 80! w00t

You're so old you make the moss outside my house seem young!

Happy 4-0!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I'm right behind you. Please let me know what it's like. I'm looking forward to freaking out and buying a red convertible.

You'll spend more time cleaning your bread maker than you would kneading dough without it. I have to admit, though, that is one pimped out machine.

Dag, now see that's what we're supposed to be doing.. I think I'm handling this too well. Shouldn't I do *something* desperate?

I know..I'll go shopping and this time no sales or clearance racks!

Sweet machine, I picked up a no-name model at a thrift store about a month ago, not as cool as yours, but for $20, I could not be happier. Happy birthday.

Happy Birthday!!

When I'm 40 I want a bread machine, too! Let's hope there'll still be bread then

Happy birthday swampgirl!

CONGRATULATIONS!

I say you've still got another 10 years before you stumble over the hill. Judging by the amount of Sifting you do, you're mind has already started to go, but that just makes life more fun.

Happy Birthday, Mrs. V! And I'd appreciate some banana bread when you get a chance. Maybe you can mail a batch for the upcoming Sift Up.

40 is the new 30 which is the new 20 so you're only 20 in my eyes. (hopefully you're wiser during this 20 than you were during the last one)

When a fraternity brother of mine turned 40, he asked all his e-mail buddies to help him name his motorcycle.

you're still my favorite gal

that's awesome.... happy birthday.. i'll be 40 on my next bday

Each decade gets a bit less scary the more you slip into it. or so im telling myself...

Happy birthday

Cool! Thanks folks I thought it was a bit lame to say it was my b-day.. but you only turn 39 again for the second time once and well... it was a big deal.

Happy birthday! I had one this month too. Time just needs to go ahead and start slowing down now. D:

omg 200$ for a bread-making machine?
Couldn't you just ask for... dunno... a lot of bread from your baker?
200$ is a lot of bread, I think. And it costs less fatigue.
Unless, of course, it's too cold to go outside and buy food :V

happy birthday!

Happy Birthday SwampGurl!  I agree with Dag, you need a fancy new sportscar -- I know I'm going to be milking my mid-life crisis for all its worth!

happy birthday!

You've obviously never had fresh homemade baked bread...

Practically banging on death's door, aren't you?

Just kidding... Happy birthday.

My mom eventually had to move to celebrating the anniversary of her 49th birthday, so you're doing just fine! Have a good one, and enjoy the homemade bread.

This always happens when you least expect it. You're strolling along minding your own business in school then BAM, you're 55, kids' moved out you have to pay alimony and back taxes and your groin has a strange rash from that time at the "strip" club.

Congrats on your birthday, sg.

Happy belated birthday my fellow Shatner fan!
