“Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.” ~Tom Wilson
When my mother gave me the photo below she got a little misty eyed and then went on to tell me about how easy childbirth was for her and how she woke up and was ready to push and tra la la, she had a baby. Sadly, that was probably the easiest part for her. And I doubt that when looking at my face as a baby she ever thought that I would grow up to curse like a sailor. Though if either she or my father were forced to answer they’d tell you that yeah, after 25 years, they like me. At least a little bit.
This is going to be a good year. I just have this feeling.

I almost didn’t want to comment because before me there were 26 comments and I was all “Hey! That’s my age, and one year older than Heather is right this very moment.” But then of course I couldn’t not state the obvious, because hey, I’m good at it.
25 was definitely one of my favorite years, and I hope it’s one of yours, too.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Happy, happy birthday!

Happy birthday.
I have a feeling you are right.
25 was a pretty good year for me too, and each one since (that’s three of ‘em) has been even better.
Happy Birthday! Can I have your ring?
I’m late to adding my wishes here, but I hope you hada very happy birthday filled with wine and all things JCrew. And dresses with pockets!!
Happy Birthday beautiful!
What a cute baby photo!
Seriously, it just gets better from 25! I promise you!
I’m late, as I am for everything these days, though I think I sent you a message having something to do with the vicodin I was inhaling every four hours because of a migraine. Yeah, don’t drug yourself and send messages. That tip is my gift to you.
Aaaaanyway, happy birthday! I like you. At least a little bit.
Happy Birthday!!!
And yes, your ring is being coveted by all of us.
Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great one.
I’m sure that year #25 will be outstanding.
