The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Great List. Honestly I love getting older, well apart from weird wrinkles, wild hairs, and unusual aches. Other than that...LOL
I'm not sure I love it. It would be nice to get just a little bit younger than I am now and stay that way. ;)
What a wonderful outlook. I hope I'm never too old for presents. I so love getting them. :)
I will never be too old, or too young, for presents.
LOL! When I get to 40, I'll have to reference your list. ;-)
I love number 4. Good for you!
Happy belated birthday! Yeah, I liked turning forty a lot better than turning thirty. I'm not sure how excited I'll be about fifty, though -- but that's a loooooong ways away. :D
LOL, Jen. If only DH and kids understood #4. They continue to give me crap, unaware that very soon I'll hit menopause and their lives will be forfeit.
Robin, I know what you mean. Thirty was a big 'yikes' - 40 is more of an 'oh well, I made it this far.'
