When I was 8 I had a party, I dove in front of the pinata and got cracked in the head.
When I was 25 I thought my life was over, I cried the day long and had never felt so old.
But now I'm cool, 38 is only as old as I want it to be. So today I will only think of sweetness and light and wine and red and unicorns and sunshine and butter and candy necklaces and I shall remember that I am me and I am here and life is good and I am blessed and we are full of love.

But you beat me to it, which is totally cool because I know you're gong to have a great birthday, since you wish yourself happy. :)
My husband went ass over teakettle about 25 too. It didn't faze me, but 31 did.

I'm so glad you were born!!!
Happy Birthday you young thing.
Hey, the site looks great, eh?
happy, happy birthday!! And I like the site change! Although I was worried when I first showed up that I'd been absent so long (these days I just don't seem to read blogs or write posts as much as I want to) that you had been taken over by someone else. Have a good new birth-year!
I hope you had a fun and festive birthday.
I love those photos. Your sign holder is freakin' adorable.
Happy belated birthday Jen.
Here's to 38 more fantabulous years.

As usual I'm late to the party ...
Happy Birthday, Jen, glad you were born indeed - and M - she's the cutest doll, seems like she's telling you - "hey, it's just a number!" :)
Well, if my birthday card looked like these pics, I'd be smiling too!
