When did summer come? April was practically (if not THE) coldest April on record and now it’s not even mid-May and we’re in the upper 80’s with humidity? This is sick and wrong. I’m so distressed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything is blooming and pretty (like I mentioned yesterday), but couldn’t it just be in the upper 50’s and low 60’s? One of the reasons I remain up north is so that I don’t have to deal with the longer periods of heat and humidity that our southern neighbors have to contend with.<\/p>\n

But despite my misery, I did get together with my friend, Jen, last night for dinner.\u00a0 And I suppose the only silver-lining to this warmer weather was that we were able to get gelato at the Gelateria on Hanover Street and walk along the waterfront without freezing our asses off (as happened in February).<\/p>\n

I also realized that two is two weeks before Randy and I fly to London..and two weeks before my birthday! In honor of that, here are some photos of previous birthdays!<\/p>\n

1971 – Technically not on the actual day of birth…but close enough. Such a lovely slip-cover!<\/p>\n

\"710800<\/p>\n

1972 – My Mom had plants back then?<\/p>\n

\"720524<\/p>\n

1974 – I’m on the left<\/p>\n

\"740524<\/p>\n

1978 – mmmm – muscular men in tights<\/p>\n

\"780524<\/p>\n

1979 – Brown paneling, brown wallpaper, brown cake.<\/p>\n

\"790524<\/p>\n

1980 – too many stripes<\/p>\n

\"800524<\/p>\n

1981 – Liberace in training<\/p>\n

\"810524<\/p>\n

1982 – Boston creme pie and a velour shirt…and a white Urkel?<\/p>\n

\"820524<\/p>\n

1983 – Were they trying to make me gay?<\/p>\n

\"830524<\/p>\n

1984 – Apparently my gift was a helmet. Oh, wait a minute….<\/p>\n

\"840524<\/p>\n

1987 – Mmmm – juice box<\/p>\n

\"870524<\/p>\n

1989 – My birthday coincided with scholarship\/awards night at my high school. Ugh – dressing up.<\/p>\n

\"890524<\/p>\n

1996 – apparently I didn’t celebrate my birthday between 1990 and 1995<\/p>\n

\"960524<\/p>\n

1997 – celebrated in Beaumont, Texas<\/p>\n

\"970523<\/p>\n

\"010602<\/p>\n

2002 – I think I look almost athletic in this one.<\/p>\n

\"020524<\/p>\n

2003 -Sadly, this was the worst birthday ever. I\u00a0had to admit my ex\u00a0into a mental hospital two days before my birthday. This was a belated celebration the day he got\u00a0released – an instant\u00a0Jello\u00a0pudding pie thrown together at the last minute.<\/p>\n
