 Oh friends!  Today is a BIG day for me.
Why is that you ask?  Well, today I turn 40 {gulp}.

happy birthday to me

While we all know that I don’t look a day older than 30 {hee-hee}, it’s a sad truth that I’m officially getting old!  A new decade awaits.  New adventures are ahead.  And do you know what?  I’m excited about them!  While getting old is certainly not something I look forward to, it’s inevitable.  So, I’m going to embrace it!  Forty and fabulous, right?

Inspired by a bloggy friend, I thought I would share forty random tidbits about myself — things you may or may not know!  Enjoy!

Forty and Fabulous Random facts about ME

1.  I’m an identical mirror twin.
2.  I was on National Honor Society.  Does that mean I’m smart? Hee-hee.
3.  I love playing practical jokes on my family.
4.  I prefer blue ink pens to black.
5.  I am a total control freak.
6.  My favorite flower is the daisy.
7.  I named my maltese, Parker, after Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs.
8.  I met my husband on-line (website called Christian Cafe)
9. I have a weird love for tote bags; therefore, I have too many and some rarely get used.
10.  I love to sing.  When driving, I sing at the top of my lungs.
11.  I do NOT like feet. They gross me out.
12.  Peanut Butter is a weakness of mine.
13.  My first job was delivering news papers — then fast food.
14.  I used to wear suits to work 90% of the time, now I wear yoga pants most days.
15.  I’m right handed (twin is left handed; hence being mirror twins).
16. I went to Bible College.
17.  I’ve been in love only once in my life — with my hubby!
18.  My favorite gum is EXTRA and Dentyne Fire
19.  Apple (Mac) products all the way, baby!
20.  I bite my nails — it’s a terrible and unladylike habit, I know.
21.  I’m self taught on Adobe Photoshop (which is no easy feat).
22.  I was born in Philadelphia.
23.  I went on a missions trip to Argentina when I was 16.
24.  I’ve lived in four states — PA, NY, KS, and MO.
25.  I’m addicted to coffee.
26.  I HATE glitter.  It seriously gives me anxiety — and that is no exaggeration.
27.  I wish I lived back on the East Coast.
28.  I love-love-love my Honda CRV.  My first NEW car and it makes me smile.
29. I love to talk — and often,  I talk too much! #sorrynotsorry
30.  I prefer paper and pen to electronic calendars and lists.
31.  My first car was a Red Chevette — we called it the little red bomber.
32.  I was my Senior Class Treasurer.
33.  I would love to own a storefront business one day; however, I’m terrified of failing.
34.  Besides Bud light, a favorite alcoholic drink is Ed Hardy’s Sangria over ice.
35.  I love photography. I have so much to learn, but enjoy photographing for the blog.
36.  I watch way too many crime documentaries.
37.  We adopted our second dog from a shelter.  Best decision ever!
38.  I have a tattoo, located on my lower back {a.k.a. tramp stamp}.
39.  While I love to cook, I equally enjoy the art of eating out too! {giggle}
40.  I went caving in college and cried the entire time.  Definetely not my thing.
41.  Diet Coke over Diet Pepsi, for sure.

Ooopsy!  I got a little carried away there…
So, did you learn something new about me?
I entertained myself pulling this list together!
I’m off to celebrate good times at a local winery,
but before I go, I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my twinkie too!

Kelly and Kristine. Double Troublewe’ve come a long way, baby!
love you!  forty and fabulous…
don’t you forget it!  hugs.

    I love this post, Kelly!! Happy birthday!! I turn 44 in a couple of months and it’s been fantastic {ahem, please do not use the word “old” again”, thank you}. 😉
    I just LOVE that picture of you and Kristine from back in the day. My father was a fraternal twin and my Husband’s dad is an identical twin. I always wanted twins but it wasn’t in the cards. You are both so beautiful! xoxo

    I love my CR-V too!! I picked it out in 2001 when I was 12 years old, my mother handed it down to me when I was 18, I’m now 24 and still driving it!
