When I turned 41 the only reference I could use was from the movie Ben-Hur. He was slave number 41. Appropriate, no? Just kidding.

Happy Belated Birthday...We are &#39;80s children...<br />I just happened upon 42 and let me tell you, that I wouldn&#39;t trade it for 32 either...but, these weird pubey gray hairs are starting to bother me and I can no longer leave the house without checking for chin hairs...<br />But, thank goodness for the wisdom!<br />Enjoy!

Liz,<br /><br />Happy Birthday! Don&#39;t party too hard in Vegas. I crossed the 40 line as well and frankly I&#39;m all about flaunting the boobs - it distracts people from my stomach.<br /><br />Can&#39;t wait to see what the CoolMomPicks gals discover at ABC.

You make 40+ look good. It would give me hope, except I don&#39;t think I will ever look younger than I do right now. I swear sometimes I can feel my skin wrinkling.

Having just seen you a month ago, I can say with authority that you look a decade younger. How? Spill it!

Happy Birthday! And haven&#39;t you seen the new ads for Courteney Cox&#39;s Cougar Town: &quot;40 is the new 20.&quot; So, really, you&#39;re turning 21 -- cheers!

Happy Bday, Liz. <br /><br />I had the same naive feeling today when I referred to &quot;thirty-something moms&quot; in a meeting and thought to myself, ohmigod, I am thirty SOMETHING, not just thirty. Not even &quot;early thirties&quot;. Apparently I stopped counting five or six years ago.

Your birthday brings me to tears each year. But now I have a reason to have happiness today too. For you give me a glimpse in each post of why I am woman and continue to roar. <br /><br />Happy Birthday Liz. Hope it had wonderfulness (or will as soon as Nate is done being culinary for the night)

This year I turn 43. I must say I will miss 42 as it meant I had the answer to life, the universe and everything.

Happy Birthday, Liz! I hope I look as good as you do at 41! Hell, I don&#39;t even look that good now at 30 :) Just remember the genes in your family...I&#39;ve seen pictures of your Grandma...apparently your family gets to stay young FOREVER!

I&#39;m in the final stretch of thirty-something. I&#39;ll be 40 in the Spring. Actually, I can&#39;t wait for it to be here. The thirties were... hmmmm... interesting. I thought I&#39;d be surrounded by brilliance in my thirties. Nah. Most people I&#39;ve known this decade were a lot dumber than I thought they&#39;d be.<br /><br />I&#39;d trade the boobs, too. And the ass.

Happy Birthday (a little late)!!! Hope it was fun. <br /><br />Nice little birthday trick for you: Whenever you are feeling old think of the alternative. (I had a few older friends that didn&#39;t make it past 45.) It&#39;ll make you feel glad in a heart beat. Works every time for me...even this year at 47.

Happy birthday! Apparently my math skills (i.e. basic counting) have dwindled with age because I can&#39;t remember if I&#39;m 38 or 39… possibly due to 40-phobia. It&#39;s not all that bad, is it?

Happy Birthday! I must second what everyone else said...you do not look a day over 30.

I still refuse to believe you are actually even a day older than I am. Because you don&#39;t LOOK any older than I am. And you don&#39;t act any older than I am. (And I mean that second sentence in the best way, of course.) And Kristen is totally right about the boobs.<br /><br />Are you sure there was not a time warp involved at some point?

Happy birthday and seeing as I&#39;m a couple of years into 40-something, I feel it safe to say that it only gets better!<br /><br />Trust me, please, or pretend that you do, because it would make me happy and my boobs are looking sad enough, already.

Happy Birthday my friend.<br /><br />I could shower you with compliments based on how gorgeous you look and you know I would mean them. I mean, I drool on your boobs every time I see you.<br /><br />Instead I&#39;ll just tell you how much I admire you and all you have accomplished and who you have become in your first 40 years and I can&#39;t wait to see what you do with your next 40.<br /><br />

I completely understand how you feel, this coming from the same woman who, as a child, cried on her tenth birthday for leaving the &quot;single-digits&quot;. <br /><br />I think whether you&#39;re 30-something or 40-something, you don&#39;t look a day over 30-nothing to me ;)<br /><br />~L

Happy Birthday! I&#39;m not there quite, but I can say without a doubt I wouldn&#39;t go back either. And I&#39;m with you on the boobs thing!

I thought the photo link at the end of the post was going to be a picture of your boobs, so I&#39;m a little disappointed right now.<br /><br />But I&#39;m working through it and while I do, let me wish you a very happy birthday.
