Crisis Averted


I just saw a posting on Facebook from one of my childhood friends about how his wife surprised him with a trip to Las Vegas for his 40th birthday. I started telling my husband how cute this was (wink wink) so he could get a clue for mine. It started out cute and then in a split second the conversation went amok.

ME: His birthday isn’t until the end of the month. That’s so nice she got a jump on that. (I look up and Ian is mildly paying attention to me) Oh wait is she late? Isn’t he already 40? Wait am I turning 40? (My eyes get big as saucers) Oh no! Wait he IS turning 40 and I am turning 39. Phewwww! Close call I almost over-reacted about nothing!
Ian: (rolling his eyes) You’re a real mess! What just happened?
Me: Hey I am going to handle turning 40 with grace and dignity.
Ian: I highly doubt that.
Me: Yeah you’re probably right.  More likely I will be sporting some kind of crop top with blond hair, maybe bangs, or even Botox!
Ian: At least you’re being realistic now.
