I totally hear ya, my friend. It can be hard. But think of it this way, it's a harder life to be someone you're not and put all of that energy into doing so, for people who don't really like who you are. That's a them thing. 😃 💕 OOoo that's not a bad time to have a birthday! Is it right around Christmas or more early December?
Happy birthday 🎂🎁 my mom said her 40's were her favorite 😊 i hope you have a fabulous decade ❣️ I love that you are feeling comfortable with expressing your current self 😊 I'm grateful to belong to our little online family 💕 French toast for the win!
Oh well your mom has me all the more stoked!!! Thank you so much for being on this journey with me. I'm so grateful for ya! 💖 French toast for the win, fo sho!!! hehe
Happy birthday from and old lady in Minnesota! I would love to be 40 again! 22 yrs ago since I hit the big 40. But 30 was much harder for me. I'd hurt my leg, was in a wheelchair and had to move in with my brother and mother as I had months of therapy. 40 was a cakewalk compared to 30. I hope you enjoy your 40's my friend! Time goes by quickly! Love and hugs to a sweet lady from an old grumpy lady!
Hey Nita!!! Thank you so much! Well it seems I might be coming to you for some words of wisdom. Gosh, that does sound like that must have been a lot to deal with. I don't know ma'am, you don't sound so grumpy to me 😜, but love and hugs back at ya! 🫂
What a wonderful video, Finally got some down time to relax and what better video to start with. Great presents of course the Baymax bag is my fav, Food looked absolutely delicious & Cats Cats & more Cats, Perfect 💛 Very cool to be able to share your Brithday with you though your channels, Very excited for more vlogs 💛💛💛💛💛
Thank you, Roy!!! 💛✨ I'm so glad to hear you got some time to yourself. 😊 Hehe, I was hoping you'd see that bag. I knew you'd be one to appreciate it too. Now I'm dreaming of meeting Baymax in a full on outfit. hehe Cats, always. 😺😺😺 Yaaaaay!!! I'm excited for more vlogs too!!!
Loved loved loved this video! 🥳🥳🥳 Hope you have enjoyed your actual birthday today. Your gifts were fab. Those coloured records are amazing and of course I thought the books were gorgeous. Nothing wrong with basing your birthday around food. Food is life!!! I’m so glad to hear you are embracing being forty. I loved my forties and similar to you, I found I gave a lot less f***s 😂😂😂 I’m in my fifties now and they are even better in many ways. 💙💙💙
Squeeeeeee!!!! Thank you for watching, as always. 💖 I sure have been. I'm still taken aback that people remember my birthday and being showered with so much kindness. I'm so grateful for you and all who watch! Food is totally life! I'm so excited to hear that! Let's kick some butt these decades of ours! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Happy happy birthday to a fabulous, magical lady. Welcome to the forty club. As someone that is eight years in ( this year hurt..lol) I can tell you it is what you make of it. Since I refuse to grow up and act my age, its just my body that sometime betrays me. I hope you hav a wonderful time at leaky con (jealous) and this next year brings you more wonderful things and much happiness. You bring me joy, so I wish that for you. 🎂💓
Awww, thank you, Shanna, for the warm 40s welcome! I'm excited! I find everything is what you make of it and gosh darn it, I plan to make these years next level magical!! ✨😄 And I soooo relate to the body betraying ya. That's been a journey of it's own but, like you, I only feel younger and younger otherwise, never letting that inner child die. I hope bringing you along to the con makes ya feel like you're there too, because that's how I feel when filming, like friends are right there with me, just as excited as I! 😃 🥰
Omg! We talked about that at breakfast, what is the best: pancakes, Waffles, French toast. I'm a French Toast, Waffle, and then pancake. HOWEVER, I am hands down eggs first
Waffles! That's the third thing I forgot to mention! Waffles would come in second for me. I was meaning more, when it comes to sweet breakfasts. I had a vegan omelette today, so I hear ya on that one. I'm more of a savory girl, but for sweet breakfasts, french toast is ma jam. hehe
My birthday is the 1st of January, so I am either on my own or with family. I either o out to eat or have a home-cooked meal and often go to the cinema. Growing up, it was annoying, as before everyone is in Christmas mode, then after, it is too cold or snowy to have a birthday party with friends.
Ooo what an interesting birth date! And I the cinema and food sounds like my kind of a day. I haven't been to the theater in a hot minute but would really like to revisit. Ah, I can see how that can be annoying, and feel a little left in the dust per say. I guess we're both right up with a day of fireworks. 😄
@@BeyondLoveLumos nooooo we have had so much rain over the last few months I don't think we're going to get any sunshine are Summers are quite short in the UK today it's like an Autumn day anyway you have a fantastic birthday 🎂🎈
Wait, I didn't know it was your 40th! Wish I'd gotten you more for your milestone birthday! Maybe I can get you another thing at LeakyCon ;) (also, sorry again about the feather kerfuffle. Totally a learning experience for me) Hope you are having the most wonderful birthday! I've heard your forties are even better than your thirties :D. Cheers to a great decade ahead! Also, Matt's wrapping is beautiful 🎁 What did you think of the pepperoni?
You made my day just magical, ma'am! It will be Matt's 40th this year too. I'm slightly older than him. hehe I've heard the same and I'm stoked! It's funny you say that, because I gave him kudos too. He's not one for caring about wrapping, and I was impressed with him. I really liked it!!! I even put it chopped up in my vegan omelette this morning.
I've already said it once but I'll say it a second time: happy birthdaaay! Your cats are so cute, I love books like that Magical Beasts book (I love looking at the pictures and skipping the text like I did as a child, haha) and that pizza looked bomb! I wish we could get small cakes like the size of your birthday cake here though. I fucking love cake, I could eat it every day, but the smallest you can get (unless you go to a really expensive bakery in the city) is for like 10 guests or so. Like no, I just wanna sit at home and eat cakes in peace by myself please and thank you. ... Which I sometimes do, but then I gotta throw away like half the cake after force feeding myself what I could the first few days before it goes off. It's really not very pleasant. :P
Thank you so so much, Camilla!!!! 🥰💖 I will let them know you said that. 😺 They are my, as they say, 'besties.' hehe Me too! I don't know how much I'll read of the book (I'd like too) but the pictures are fascinating. I mean, so long as you enjoy something, it doesn't matter how you do, right? That pizza was sooooo good! Eating leftovers tonight! 🍕 OMG that sounds like a massive cake! 🎂😲
Aubrey!!!! I’m trying to play catch-up from having family in over the past week. I hope you had a flippin fantabulous birthday!!!! Wish I was still 40. Actually wish I was still 42, lol (if you get the reference let me know😂)! ❤❤❤
OMG I can't believe I forgot to reply!!! Hey, Erika!!! I hope you have a fantabulous time with your family. I had a wonderful birthday! But Oooooo now I'm wishing I got the reference. Do tell! 😄🥰
@@BeyondLoveLumos no worries at all! And 42 is a reference to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s the answer to everything. In fact, if you ask Google, safari, or Alexa, “what is the answer to everything?” 42 is what they will come back with. Sorry, it’s one of my husband’s favorite books!😂😂
Hey Louisa! I've been vegan since 2008 (as they say an, 'old vegan,' or those who started back when there wasn't a designated section at the store 😂) and in July, 7, 2007 I started as vegetarian. Haha! I love that last line. You got it! 😃🥰
