Blog challenge - birthday gift

From Shawn: Name something you have recieved for a birthday gift. Can be something you like/dislike. Tell us about it. What you thought when you opened the package.

If you've ever turned 40 and thought it totally STUNK, I know the feeling. BUT thanks to my wonderful family I will always remember my 40th birthday with much happiness and warm mushy feelings. I didn't even put any makeup on that day, just felt blah. Finally in the afternoon it was card, cake and present time. I was reminicsing about the previous day when I WAS IN MY 30's!!!!

The prospect of the cake was pretty nice. I picked chocolate of course. And with my gourmet cook husband I knew that would be a treat.

Then, the big present. "Star Trek the Movies" Complete DVD collection - all special 2-disk sets. WOWSERS. I was totally floored! Of course it was something I really wanted, but I was not expecting itat all! It was probably one of the best birthday presents ever! So, that is why I enjoyed turning 40!
