Happy Birthday to me! I turned 45 today -- and now I can begin my OFFICIAL midlife crisis!! Today I am wearing hot pink all day, eating anything I want, coming to work late, taking a long lunch, leaving early, and generally celebrating myself! I'm even considering buying myself an iPad as a birthday gift to myself!

As my "party" (i.e., girls' karaoke night!) isn't till Friday, I plan to spend tonight making brownies for dinner, then lying on the couch watching a taped Big Bang Theory marathon and relaxing.

And as my new car tag this morning is hot pink, I am going to try to live my 45th year in that mode -- more fun, more about ME!
