Lol! Thanks, Misha…I actually turned 40 last year (soon to turn 41 in a couple of months!)…I should’ve made that point a little clearer in the vlog 😉 But it’s nice to know I haven’t aged since my last birthday ! 🙂
Misha says
Well you don’t look 40 so you definitely don’t look 41!!
Misha recently posted..Steering wheel wavers
mamagrace71 says
Naw, thanks so much, Misha! You’ve made this gal a happy one ! 🙂
Penny says
You so don’t look 40! You look 21…. okay, more like 30 but that’s ten years younger than you are, right. Hope I look 30 when i’m 40. Man, I wish I looked 20 and I’m turning 30 this year. Too many numbers this time of morning. I have to sign off and go to work. Sucks being 29 right now. Lol.
Penny recently posted..Speak To Me… Please!
mamagrace71 says
Lol! Thanks, Penny-licious! It’s all just numbers. Sometimes I think I’m just waaay to immature to be 40…hehe

kirri says
Did you say that you got home at 9.45pm? Isn’t it supposed to be 3.45am? hehe
You don’t have to convince me you know how to party at 40 – you make coffee in a hotel room a party!!
PS – Sexy raccoon eyes x

Well done party gal! Age should never be a barrier to fun x

Tracey @ Bliss Amongst Chaos says
Hi MammaGrace!
I’m your newest follower and participator in FYBF!
I’m 42, and although I don’t get to go out as much as I used to in my single days, I still love it when I get the chance.
There is nothing like going out with a bestie, having some wine and a dance, and talking to the interesting people out and about!
Well done 🙂
Tracey

Hi Tracey,
Lovely to have you hear!
No matter how old I’ll be, nights with a bestie accompanied with some good wine will always be a necessity in life 😉
Thanks for linking up! See you same time next week, yes ? 😉 xxx
Natalie says
Mahahaha – still laughing at the olive…they were good olives…
mamagrace71 says
OMG…how good were they? And those chips! Those chips! *drooling* Let’s do it again soon, yes ? YES!!! x
Parental Parody says
Ok I’m just gonna say it….you partied with grace. Heh.
Also, did not detect raccoon eyes.
Also, kudos on fitting in a bit of par-taaaying and being home at a respectable hour – respectable being early enough that you can get up to the twins the next morning without feeling like a bus has hit you.
I’d like to see more roving Vlog’s please!

mamagrace71 says
Despite getting home at a reasonable hour, my head was pounding like a crazy jack hammer the next morning. But I refuse to blame it on old age…Plain flat refuse !! 😉
Roving Vlogs coming right up! xxx
Cathy says
Hi Grace, joining in FYBF for the first time ever! Great vlog – I have not been game enough to do a vlog yet (maybe when I turn 40… just a couple of years away…although I’ll probably be hibernating rather than partying lol).
Anyways, loved your vlog, love your blog and all your amazing photos!

mamagrace71 says
Hey Cathy,
So happy to see you here ! And thanks for linking up.
Doing vlogs are a great way to get out of your comfort zone. And once you’ve done one…you won’t be able to stop yourself 😉
See you next week, yes ? 😉
Mum of Adult Kids says
Great vlog, Grace. Good wine and good friends. That’s all we need!

Jess says
I liked the raccoon eyes!
Man I’m 29 and have not partied in soooooo long. Itching for a girls nigh out soon.
Jess recently posted..How To Attract a Mate; Lessons From a Randy Rabbit
mamagrace71 says
Well, I remember you were totally partying it up at DPCON12! You were the life and soul, baby!
So, go out there, grab some girlfriends and do it all again, Jess 😉
salz says
You 40 No way. MILF. Im like 11 yrs off 40 and I don’t get to partay like that at all. Actually I do sometimes with the girls in the family in a girly night where we all get dressed up (or down in my case) and just dance our self’s silly without guys bothering us. Hopefully will have one of these dance nights for my soon to be sil at her hens night I’m throwing for her. And that’s all without alcohol as we don’t drink it still gets crazy.
salz recently posted..FFS Friday
mamagrace71 says
Yes, tis true, Salz. I am the big 4-0 🙂 And yes, I still get to go out and have me some fun 😉
And yes! Have fun at your SIL’s hens party! Guaranteed awesome time!
I don’t think it’s about the alcohol sometimes either. Just to be around your girlfriends and not be bothered by the guys (like you said) is all we need 🙂
Rachel @ The Kids Are All Right says
10 to 10!? You’re giving us 40-somethings a bad name! I was out with a bunch of mums last night till 11.30!!! Wild times. Very good idea we didn’t stay any longer though, had an 8.30am meet-up in the city, complete with dehydration and bad headache (some people might call that a hangover). Anyhoo, loved the vid, LOVED your yellow dress.

mamagrace71 says
Dang! I was hoping no one would catch me out on my lame home arrival time. 🙂 But yes, at our age, it’s never a hangover, Rachel. It’s always just dehydration and lack of sleep..ahems.
Glad you like the vid. The dress is my most recent (and fave) purchase 😉
jessica says
Happy Birthday beautiful Grace, loved your vlog!! Truly you do not look 40! Have a fabulous day!! XxJess
mamagrace71 says
Thanks, Jess…but your birthday wishes are either 10 months belated or 2 months early 😉 Just went out for the fun of it 😉
Thanks for linking up!!!
Martine@themodernparent says
I shall be joining you in the 40 and partying set in about 5 months and I am sure I will still be rocking it too! Love the outfit too!
mamagrace71 says
Oh, Martine! We’re all here waiting for you with open arms at the 40’s Exclusive club 😉
Trust me, it’s fun times !!! x

Kirrily says
Hee hee you look so good ya old bag! ;-P Seriously, I still pass for someone in her 20’s even though I’m only a few yrs behind you. It used to bother me. Now I’m thankful! Huh, funny how a perspective on something can change.
Kirrily recently posted..Before it’s too late
mamagrace71 says
Lol! So know what you mean. Used to bug me all the time in my 20’s when I went to nightclubs and got “carded”. Then, we went to Hawaii in my late 30’s and almost fell off my chair when they asked me for ID after ordering a Mai Tai…I was doing a happy dance 🙂
Tat says
I ‘m glad you had fun 🙂

I’m staring down the barrel of my Big Four Oh My God! Next year for me. The Welshman booked my 40th birthday party venue LAST YEAR when I was still 37. I know. I know. *shakes head*
I only hope I look 32 when I’m 40!

Let’s just say the Welshman is great at organising 😉 I reckon it’s going to be an awesome night. And you’ll look your usual “Audrey Hepburn” glamourous self…I’m sure of it x
Pink Ronnie says
Bummer, why can I not get the video to work!?
Night out is always a treat these days.
Happy birthday! (It was your birthday, right?)
Ronnie xo

mamagrace71 says
Oh, noooo! 🙁 That’s a shame…you miss out on my fabulously sexy raccoon eyes 😉
And nope…it wasn’t my birthday…but I’ll just take it as early birthday wishes.
Great to see you here on FYBF again, Ronnie ! x
MsMandie says
Fun, fun, fun. Does not matter how old you are, girls’ nights are awesome! I am 32 and I still feel like I’m 20… Probably don’t quite party like I’m 20 these days though. I get tired and have hurty feet and sometimes the music is just too loud…!
MsMandie recently posted..I Got Touched Up By A (Minor) Celebrity
mamagrace71 says
So true! Age is no barrier to get together with your girlfriends and just have a giggle.
I prefer the sit down, chat, drink and nibble type of evenings. Anything to do with standing up and loud music is a little bit too much for me too x
Veronica @ Mixed Gems says
Thanks for the chuckle. It’s been so long since I was out on my own. I don’t think I know how! I think I might hyperventilate at the thought! For me, 40, well thereabouts, hasn’t a thing to do with it.
Veronica @ Mixed Gems recently posted..Carpe Diem
mamagrace71 says
It is our moral imperative to go out and have fun one of these nights, Veronica! Even if I have to drag you out and carry a brown paper bag (you know, just in case you do hyperventilate). 🙂

Really it’s a great birthday’s nice fun. congratulates and thanks for sharing.
