...there, I said it...
.
I said it out loud...
...hmmm? I admitted it...and nothing disastrous happened...
...my admitting it didn't seem to usher in the Apocalypse...
...so, I guess it's okay...
So, dear blog friends...I was wondering if you would de-lurk for me on the occasion of my 40th birthday? I have seen other blog friends do this and to be honest, I am dying to know who out there may read...or openly mock...the writing on this blog. So, as a huge favor to me...if you ever read this blog would you let me know who you are and how you came upon it?
...and if you are a regular reader...will you assure me that age 40 is really the new age 28?
...thanks so much. I am totally excited to see who comments...
.
...even though I am a little worried that you will think I am completely narcissistic for even asking...

Hey- I love to read and catch up on your family. I am almost 35 and that sounds old to me, but I think you are as young/old as you want to be. IT is all about living life to the fullest. There aren't that many mothers who are young like us and have little kids. So I think we just get to fit in with the other. Have a Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday! You are one of my favorite "mom of boys." I look forward to your updates.
40 is totally the new 28. :)
Happy Birthday Lady! Hope you have a wonderful day.
You are so fabulous!! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I love you to pieces! And I think we just know each other through mutual blog friends. But I'm so glad that we have become such good friends! I value your friendship dearly!
I read your blog because I love you and think you are hilarious!
Nicki
Happy Birthday Gal!! Hope it's a fantastic one.
And yes, I totally agree that 40 is the new 28, because I'm 28 too!!
You can do whateva you want to when you turn 40. Didn't you know that? It's a law-make sure you tell your kids. Happy Birthday Georgia!
Funny, I thought it was the new 23.
Happy Birthday!
And yes, those were boots Zomo was wearing.
Yeah. Who would ever ask for comments for their birthday?! Hello, self-centered.
LOVE YOU. EVERYONE loves you. I can't believe you are 40, but that's cause I think all of us in blogland are, like, 28 or something.
Happy Birthday to my very first "fan"! =)
Welcome to the 40 club. You are fabulous. I love your thoughtfulness and kind heart.
Happy Birthday friend!
Happy birthday dear friend! I think the world of you and hope your birthday is fabulous!
Much love.
It is nice to have older friends. It gives one perspective, you know.
I am kidding. You don't LOOK 40 and really, that is all that matters. Looking 28 with a 40 year-old wisdom is the way to go about aging. Great job, Lauren
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! 28 really was a good year, yah, I'll
claim 28, too. Then we'll always be the same age!
You really do have a lot of blog followers!
Hope it works for you better than it works for me! :)
Happy Birthday!!!!! Hurray for June birthdays! Know that at least 1 person in Ohio always loves your blog :)
I love reading your blog, Lauren!! :) You are so funny and it always brightens my day.
Can I just say that your blog is my favorite! I check on an almost hourly baises to see if you have written anything... okay, not really hourly BUT STILL!!! I hope you had a fantastic birthday! You totally deserve it! I think you rock the mother-load!!! love ya!
Happy birthday, Lauren! I think 40 has got to be better than 28. I definitely liked my 30s more than my 20s. Have a fabulous day!
I love you. And, I think that you just want 40 to be the new 28 because you have always wanted to be my age and just like me. Just kidding. I do love you, my sistow! Hope it was a fantastic birthday!! (How could it not be with all of the handsome men in your life?)
We are almost twins!!! My birthday is the 10th. Only a couple of years behind you.
You are gorgeous and I hope you enjoyed your day and treated yourself right!
You are for sure one of the funniest people I know.
You and I have a lot in common and I'm 'only' 25 so that's makes you pretty cool even if you are 40. =P Happy Birthday - and PS Brittany is not the only person in Ohio that loves you.
happy late birthday! i haven't been much for blogging lately! i plan to get back to it some day! but until then i will just lurk! you're little john truly is adorable!!
& Yes, I do remember you being a princess. Do you remember what you guys wore for Halloween in 2007?
Lauren I only think of you as that hot young mom I met 12-13 years ago, so you'll always be 28 to me! I hope your birthday was just wonderful!
Love, love your blog. So much fun to read. Yes, 40 is the new 28. Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday Lauren! I love reading your blog cause you crack me up and make everyone in my office give me weird looks :) Really happy birthday and I don't know what you are talking about 40 I didn't think any woman ever aged past 28... :)
um, happy birthday. sorry i am lame and forgot to call you. i have a really good excuse, i promise. see, a few weeks ago i turned 30 and unlike you, i lost all thought processes, abilities to function and my last remaining attention span was used up... happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!!
I am just mad you didn't post a picture.
COME ON!
40 looks good on you, and you know it!!
Oh I am so sad that I am just now getting to my reader...sorry I missed your birthday. I am so scared to do a delurking post, I'm afraid there would be nobody out there! You on the other hand are miss popular because you are so fabulous, remember age is just a number, it's how old you feel that matters.
I love you Lauren, I'm so glad we are blog friends. Hope your birthday was awesome...xoxo
Happy Birthday, Lauren! You have a little baby, which means you are still a young mother!!!
Happy Birthday! I totally missed it, I'm sorry. I hope you know that I love you anyway. I got your comment on my blog, I think the "new" URL is up and running. If you get a chance and try it out, will you let me know one way or the other? Thanks, lady!
Hey, Happy Birthday! I read your blog and have been keeping an eye out for how your littlest man is doing! I love the comments you leave on other peoples blogs. :)
Happy birthday almost one week late. Yes, I thought about you lots on our special monumental day . . . but didn't frequent the computer much. So how does it feel to be 40? I don't feel any different. Just a little bummed now that maybe I should have had a BIG GIANT BIRTHDAY BASH.
I love you and your blog and I don't know how I came upon it, I'm just glad I did. I do remember, however, the first time we met. It was at your parents, you had baby E and I believe you were watching Pretty in Pink(you'll have to verify if you remember), and you were funny. Blog lurkers: this girl is funny, even funnier in real life. Love ya, L! Happy late bday.
Sorry it took me so long to comment and wish you a happy 40th! You know I love your blog and you are the comment QUEEN! The best commenter EVER.
I hope you had a lovely 40th. You certainly don't look it. I thought you were younger than me!

Hi Lauren! I love your blog!! Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday! In the spirit of De-Lurking...hello! Actually I haven't seen your blog in a very long while (maybe a year?) but just happened to spot your birthday announcement in Jaime's side bar thingy on her blog. Happy Birthday to the hottest 28 year old I know, you whipper snapper;)
so i have been avoiding commenting until i was able to sing to you, but alas...so i love you and will sing to you tomorrow and stumbled across your blog (and by that i mean help you set it up) a million pictures and 40 million words ago. and grateful for each one. now move back already so we can celebrate with food!
Ack! I went away for a week with no internet and missed something cool like this!
Happy late birthday.
I always read your blog, and I found it because you emailed the link to me. And you are the only person who comments on every single one of my posts. Not even my mom is that good. And you are my closest church neighbor and blog buddy- in distance, if not content! I always enjoy your company. The ward is getting scrambled the next few weeks. Maybe we will end up serving together in some way, that would be wonderful!
What the heck? How did this not show up on my reader and now I am late to the party?
Happy Birthday! I would have guessed 33.
Happy Birthday! Sorry I missed it. You look FABuLouS! And since 40 IS the new 28, does that mean 30 is the new 18? Sweet! Not that I'M 30 (yet)!!!!
Happy very late Birthday! I totally stalk your blog. I'm just so lame that it took me this long to comment. :)
As your mother, I can say with certainty that 40 is the new "28", that way I can be the new "48". I love you sweetie!!
Good gracious, I am soooooo late to the party. But 40? You are rocking, it my dear!
I'm two years behind you but look at all you've accomplished with your beautiful boys. Glad you survived cub scout daycare. :)
Happy Birthday Lauren!! I hope you had a great day. You are the sweetest girl ever and I never would have guessed 40! Hope you had a great day!
Hey Lauren did my 2 videos work for you? One in each post?
Hope you're still celebrating!
happy really, really late birthday! i still read and LOVE your blog, i've just been lame at commenting lately.
Hey I wish I knew you back when... so I could de lurk and say Happy 40th Birthday.
Mine is coming up next year and I may need to be talked through it (or talked down from a ledge).
You look way too young to be 40.
see you
Ex
