My sixteenth birthday
My thirty-second birthday
Happy birthday to me! And happy birthday to Jackie, Greta, and Lisa, my blogland birthday twins! Greta and Lisa are both on blog breaks, so think good birthday thoughts for them, and if you know them drop them a birthday note. Jackie's blog is alive and well, so please go leave her a birthday comment!
Added later: So apparently August twentieth is an extremely popular birthday. It's also the birthday of Polly and Jessamyn. Growing up I knew NO ONE who shared my birthday. My sister-in-law was the first person I ever met who was also born on the 20th. But then I started bloging and the August 20th babies came out of the woodwork. Go figure. Happy birthday to us all. (You have to wonder what happens nine months before August 20th.)

Posted by: CassieHAPPY BIRTHDAY, bella! I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to 30 -- it seems the vast majority of the happy, cool, beautiful, well-adjusted, successful women I know are in their 30s. Thanks for making 32 look so good.
Posted by: AnneAw, you look splendid! Happy Birthday!
Posted by: KatherineHappy Birthday, Cari!!! :D By the way, I loved your last entry, but when I tried to comment the comments wouldn't work (just for that entry though). Thank you for showing us the younger you, too. :)

Posted by: jacquelineHmmm!!! I posted this afternoon, but it looks like my comment just disappeared! How strange.
But I believe I said that I love the 16 year old you, and of course the 32 year old you. I hope you had a great day, sweetie, and thanks for making my birthday so special too!
Posted by: jackieFeliz cumpleaņos Cari!!
Un abrazo,
Lia
As my daughter used to say, Happy Boopdate!
Posted by: RabbitchThat comment is likely only endearing if you have a cat named Boop, which I used to do. Oh nevermind, have a good one anyhow.

Posted by: IrisI never would have guessed that you are in your 30s. I would have said 25. Of course, who wants to go back to the awkward unsettledness of 25? Happy belated birthday, chica!
