Shout HOORAY!!!!!!!! ;)
Anyone want to guess how old I am??????? (If you guess OVER my age, I'll be SOOOOO sad... so aim low for my self esteem!)
Sorry - no picture yet. I need to proof some I took the other day.
Toodles!
**update**
ohhhh my darling kids! While I was doing my hair (which took a LONG time... I'll do a self portrait later) my boy (6 1/2 yrs) came up and said "Don't come down. We're making a surprise for you!" So I had to stay up there until the "whistle" was blown and the piano was played (their signal that it was time). So I came down the stairs and saw...
Looooooove that it's upside down. I think he wrote my name - then did the arrow... then realized it was upside down. So this told me to go around the corner. Which I did.. and saw...
My darling, DARLING kids set the table (sooo sad I didn't get the camera to take a picture of that!!!) with three green plates full of blueberries, a glass of water and three chocolates hiding behind the waters. THEN my boy made NAME PLATES for the three of us (baby was sleeping and I guess didn't count yet)!!! Ohhh SO sad I didn't get a picture of that!!!
I am in awe of his thoughtfulness! He said a few times "she didn't help much" referring to his nearly 4 year old sister. ;) But he wants to make sure she gets "some" credit. They made my day. LOVE them!
Then my lovely friend with gorgeous hair BRANDY (helllllllooooooooooo Brandy with a Y!) brought me these:
Ohhhh soooo delicious. So sad they say to eat within 24 hours. How on earth will that be accomplished?? ;)
This day has been so wonderful! And no one has guessed my age yet... keep guessing! ;) But you're TOTALLY flattering me. Remember - the pictures you see of me... photoshopped! ;)
I know, but I'm not saying.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Don't we usually go out on your birthday?

Is it Dec. 20th already!!!???? I KNEW there was SOMETHING special about today, but I just couldn't think what it was??? I tried to rack my brain and thought...."hmmm, it seems that Kara Elmore was trying to remind me of something not too long ago about this particular date....?"
HAPPY FREAKIN' BIRTHDAY!!!
I will NOT try to guess what age you are, but I do know you are YOUNGER than ME... because you like to remind me of my age so often.... but you are not as young as some of the previous posters.... I'll say 30 ish-ish!
(ifi you say that fast it rhymes with licious!) LOVE YA!!

Love the update!!! What a sweet little man!!!
I'm guessing your age is EXACTLY 32!
Posted by: Lilian | December 20, 2007 at 05:03 PM
Well, if Lilian is spilling the beans...you will always be two years older than me...and I am holding out at 20/10...I don't even say the word anymore. It is the "T" word at our house.
Posted by: Stephanie | December 20, 2007 at 07:16 PM
Ohhh you two!! ;) Yes - it's 32! But you BOTH knew that. ;) Nate got me a SPA treatment! YIPPEE!!!
Posted by: Kara Elmore | December 21, 2007 at 09:51 AM
I honestly did NOT know that!! I went back in your archives where you posted a picture of yourself with your dad in your favorite outfit. It was 1985.... you got the outfit in 4th grade.... I did the math!
I have a present for you... it's sitting just WAITING and BEGGING me to take it to your house... but since you posted the fabulous gift Brandy (with a Y) gave you, mine seems insignifigant!
Posted by: Lilian | December 21, 2007 at 02:55 PM
Lilian - you BETTER give me that present!! ;) Maureen and Brandy stopped by and I ate them all within the hour. So I need something else - ESPECIALLY because my birthday lasts ALL WEEK LONG!!! ;)
