The Big Four-O

*sits down with a cup of coffee, gets ready for a new but short post on Cards Over Coffee*

Today I am turning the big 4-0. 

*takes a sip, tips mug towards laptop trying not to spill it and to cheer with you*

I can't believe this day has arrived, but I am glad it has. It's better to reach 40 then not to. That alone is the biggest blessing especially after all that I have gone through. I will also try not to have too much of a midlife crisis today.

Try being the key word.

I spent some time this morning to see which celebrities I share my birthday with. The list includes Glenn Close, Bruce Willis, Renee Taylor, and a few others including 2x Super Bowl Champion NY Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw.

Back in December, I won an autograph jersey from Ahmad on Instagram and have been meaning to show it off for a while. Today seemed like a good day to do so.

It was the first time I had actually won anything on Instagram and wouldn't have even seen or entered if it wasn't for a fellow Giants fan tagging me in the post. 

Side note, I really miss the red jerseys the Giants used to wear, hope they bring those back again.

This Ahmad signed jersey makes it the third signed Giants jersey I own. All three are running backs in Rodney Hampton, Brandon Jacobs and now Ahmad.

I don't have anything big planned today such as a birthday party, you reach a certain point in life when those don't matter. You also have to have friends to invite as well and I don't haha. Well, other than you guys reading this today and online friends. But, I don't think any of you will take a long trip today :)

I plan to just enjoy the day with a cup of joe with my carrot cake my mother-in-law will be dropping off. I hope you guys will have a long-distance cup with me!

Hope the rest of you have a great day and Happy Birthday to any other fellow March 19th birthday'ers who are reading this today.

  2. Happy 40th birthday to you. Every day is a present with blessings that we need to unwrap. Enjoy this day and many more. I hit the big "60" last October. If that is the top of the hill, I'm going to stay at the top. I need a refill!

  3. Happy birthday! You also share your birthday with Clayton Kershaw!

    I turned 40 before I even had a blog. There is so much more for you to do.

    1. I know, there is a lot I want to do. I just need to do it. I would love to write a book and be a football coach.

  4. Happy Birthday! 🎈 I hope you have a great day.
    Turning 40 didn’t bother me. Turning 50 didn’t bother me either, but made me stop and think a little bit about what (little) I’d accomplished in life. Turning 60 was a little strange, but it happened in 2020, so everything was a little strange. I’m looking forward to 65 and hopefully retiring.
    Enjoy your birthday!
