Older, at least. Not sure about wiser.


Today is my birthday.  Remember how in elementary school on your birthday you brought in cupcakes for your whole class?  In that same spirit of giving to others on one’s birthday, I have something for you.  Some people have asked to actually *see* the yucky new haircut.  Fine. Here is a picture of the best-case version of this haircut, which requires TWO different hair products PLUS a flat iron.

This photo also gives me the chance to show off my birthday gift from John: a Wii MarioKart remote.  I was a huge fan of original MarioKart and I have to say, playing on the Wii is pretty great.  Especially because it gave me the chance to use the damn Wii again after John totally hijacked it for like 2 months with Tiger Woods 08, a game in which I have zero interest.  Now if I could only figure out what this whole “drifting” thing is all about….Maybe I should rent this?

I plan to spend the next two days eating way too much, drinking way too much, and sleeping way too little.  (Apparently my perfect birthday celebration at 29 looks much the same as it did at 19.)  Have a good weekend everyone!

    That haircut is totally cute! I’m sure Jennifer Aniston had to use a number of hair products too. (By the way, I got a somewhat similar hair cut a few days ago. It could probably do with a flat iron as well…) Have a wonderful weekend!

    By the way. That was just supposed to be a regular close parentheses. Not a smiley face.

    How come I didn’t know it was your special day today? And why is it we’re not treating you to drinks??? Oh my!! Raincheck? (In the most literal of ways!).

    In the meantime, have a great birthday. BTW, I think you are totally rocking out that haircut and are not giving yourself enough credit. It’s adorable! (I can see your eyes rolling now).

    Happy birthday! And also, I like the haircut. SERIOUSLY.

  6. I love the haircut – it’s so cute!

    And at first I thought the Wii was your camera. I was like, “What the hell kind of camera is THAT?”

  7. LOL – I thought the same thing as Pickles and Dimes.

    Love the haircut…very cute.

    Happy Birthday :)

  8. I finally have internet so HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

    And I love the hair. But I know what a PITA it can be with the maintenance and hair products. Sigh.
