It's My Birthday, Got My Car Fixed! - Wordful Wednesday

Yup, I'm 37 on this Wednesday & I admit that I do enjoy the attention that comes from being the birthday girl. I think everyone should celebrate themselves so I shall, as it is my turn!

Since last week went over so well with my video (gosh I never thought embarrassing myself could feel so good), I figured I would continue with that trend by sharing a photo progression of my life. CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE.
American Idol audition

Then:

I was not happy taking that photo above as a child. But as I got older & into makeup & hair, I guess I didn't mind posing as one of the best NY girls in the world. Do you remember the perfect Duck's arse hairstyle in the back. Well, I wish you could see the one I was sporting. I think I won something for that once in school.

And then the prom came, the one I missed because of too many Long Island Iced Teas. Well, we got there after many stops but I can't remember much of it. Let's say it took many years for my girlfriend to forgive me that I ruined her dress. I know she'd be wearing it today if I hadn't. Ahem. I couldn't tease my hair enough. I think some of the boys felt the same.....heh.

Now:

Terry took the top left pic as we started dating. We got engaged 7 months later, married on the beach in Key West a year after & then became pregnant just 3 weeks later.

If I could've picked my husband from a catalog I would have ended up marrying the same man. And my son Tristan makes me a better woman. They both truly are gifts from God, as are my family & friends. So, if you were to ask me what I want today for my birthday, I'd say I already have it.

But an immersion blender would be great!!!!

Just wanted to sneak in another picture of me, mom, sis Lauren & Dad from June of this year. My sis Andi & brother Bruce are missing from the pic.

Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me today!!!!!
