Once upon a time there was a sweet baby girl.
She liked chocolate. (She still does.)
She grew a bit, and started flashing the cheesy smile that looks eerily like the one that her daughter now flashes.
(What is WITH that outfit??? Hello, seventies.)
She celebrated a second birthday.
Cute. Except for the outfit. She has about eleventy billion photos of herself in that exact same seventies polyester suit.
She celebrated a third birthday.
Cute. And a little precocious.
Skip forward a few years…to the thirteenth year, where “cute” is not what comes to mind.
I. Have. No. Words.
The girl got contacts and, um, PLUCKED HER EYEBROWS.
(She was flanked by one of her closest friends on the planet.)
She (along with most everyone else) went through the “Friends Hair Phase”.
She also owned (And rode!) a Kawasaki Ninja 500.
Yes. Yes, she did.
She met a man that she loved so very, very much. She sold the bike so that she could afford her wedding.
It was so very, very worth it.
They enjoyed married life, had a baby or two and then the girl turned thirty.
She embraced turning thirty, because everyone told her that your thirties are so much better than your twenties. So far? “They” are right.
She had another baby to make their family a party of five.
She is now turning thirty-three (Today!), but is considering referring to herself as “thirty-something”.
Because that is what old ladies demure women do.
She is also in desperate need of some skin colour. Good thing she’s going to Mexico.
Wish the old fart nice girl a Happy Birthday, if you are so inclined.
Happy birthday!!
I have to say that I am usually jealous of your curls but… wow at your 13 year old hair… just wow! I had no idea it could be so big!
Enjoy your vacation

They say it’s your birthday? It’s my (33rd) birthday too! Really it is. I’ll have a celebratory drink for both of us. Cheers!

You may very well be in Mexico for my birthday…so I’m thinking it’s a little unfair that I’m wishing you happy birthday from down the street (and not my cabana:))

Have a great birthday! I turned 33 this past year and have just as many, I like to call them, ‘awkward’ moments, growing up!
Yes, I had the ‘Friend’s’ Haircut…what was I thinking?
Have a great day!

HBD to you!
The good thing about being thirty-something is that you can now choose to wear polyester rather than being stuffed into it so someone can take eleventy-billion pictures of you in it!
I hope your birthdays and all the days of this year are special ones for you.

Happy Birthday — we’re almost the same age (my 33rd is next month) and I recognized the hair, eyebrows and glasses(!). Hope you have great happiness this year!
