Featured and Forty

Happy Birthday to Me – I turn Forty today. Ack.  Do I have to be a grown up now? I sure hope not.
(This might explain my verse and quote of the week, in case you were wondering)

Here are some Birthday ideas I saw that made me crack up:

Forty Sucks!

If the person turning 40 has a sweet tooth, buy them 40 lollipops or gobstoppers, wrap them up nicely and and label your gift with “Forty Sucks”!

So silly!

Put some M&Ms in a “pill bottle” and include these directions for use:

• BROWN pill

              Take one to temporarily calm your chocolate cravings

• RED pill

               To be take at the first sign of hot flashes

•  ORANGE pill

                As a treatment for depression

•  GREEN pill

               To calm you down when if feel frustrated

•   YELLOW pill

                To cure headaches 

• BLUE pill

                 Reduces bloating

Now that you’re turning 40, it’s possible that you’ll experience all these symptoms simultaneously, in which case you should just EAT THEM ALL AT ONCE!

And some fun facts for you:

How much things cost in 1970

• Average Cost of new house US$23,450.00
• Average Yearly Wages $9,400.00
• Average Monthly Rent $140.00
• Cost of a gallon of Gas 36 cents
• Cost of a United States postage stamp 6 cents
• Cost of a Sports Illustrated 15 cents

(Holy cow that seems so different from now. That does make me feel old.)

But enough silliness, on to the cool Birthday presents I got today:
