About 10 years ago, I was a little depressed at the thought of turning 30. I decided to help ease the pain by celebrating for 30 days during October (the month I was born); I called it "30 Days of 30" (creative, huh?!). My friends and I did various things throughout the 30 days in celebration of the "big" day that was to come. I wish I could remember all that we did (if you were part of that and can remember, please let me know).
Well, if you are doing your math, or know me at all, you know I will turn 40 pretty soon. Once again, to ease the pain, I have decided to celebrate 40 days of turning 40. It begins today and ends November 2nd when I get home from my birthday cruise. I have no idea what all I will do to celebrate so if you have any ideas, please share them. I plan to blog during these 40 days so that you can celebrate with me.
Also, my mom just sent me an email with "40 memories of '40'" in the subject line. In the email she shared one of her memories of me and I am assuming/hoping that she will continue that for the next 39 days.
So, Day 1: I just got back from Camp Cosby where I left about 100 5th graders and 20 or so parents/teachers to enjoy another day without me. We arrived there yesterday and went non-stop until 9:30 last night and we started back again this morning at 8:00. I really did have a good time hanging out with the teachers, hiking through the woods, and getting to know the students outside of school. Tonight, my roommate and I are going to WorkPlay to hear Ingrid Michaelson and I can't wait!
My mom's memory for today: "When you were a just born you made a squeaking sound. I called you "Squeaky" for awhile. Mother was so worried that I would get in the habit of calling you that."
