The Glitter Workshop Dish

33 years

Yep, today is my birthday. It has been a pretty weird 33 years of life so far, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Now, for your viewing pleasure (or a good laugh) here is a little insight into moi.

Here I am, looking nice and plump, Christmas 1975 with my Nana (great-grandme).

An early look into my stellar taste in fashion, circa 1976

Then there were the “what other weird thing can I put on my head” years

I love the look on my sister’s face in that one. She always has thought I was a weird little duckling..

This one in particular is great. No, there is nothing wrong with my eyes. I just enjoyed crossing them in pictures to really tick off everyone else. My poor grandma (shown here) was so angry when my cousin and I stuck out our tongues and crossed our eyes in every single first communion picture… This was also my first cabbage patch kid, which I still have today. I was in third grade.

Then middle school..

I look pretty annoyed in that one, but that look pretty much lasted through high school. Scary enough, it actually took my quite a long time to make my hair look like that too. Many many bottles of sun in…. I still remember the smell..

Ah, high school. I won a modelling contest and got to go to New York to be in Sassy Magazine.

I didn’t let that one go to my head… SURE.

Well, that flat stomach is long gone, but for wonderful reasons (well, combined with my love of ice cream).

November 7, 1997

March 11, 1999

These two ladies have filled my life with such wonder and amazement (and headache, and worry, and screeching… but we’ll stick with wonder and amazement, and of course love…). Here they are in probably 2001.

And, last but not least, this picture should have gone with Mother’s Day, but because of these two ladies, My mom and my Mom-mom (mom’s mom, we weren’t too creative when we were little), I have had a strong foundation to start with, lots of love, and no shortage of courage. My grandmother has been gone a very long time, but because of how she raised my mom to be such a strong great woman, I have been taught the same, and hopefully are passing some of these traits to my girls.

The next step in the voyage? Meeting our son, in approximately three months from today. Let the journey continue…
