I am older

Yet still surprised when sometimes…
I don’t know jack shit.
Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Birthday Jenni! Here’s to another 37!
Happy Birthday pretty lady!
Love this. Especially the tummy–gotta respect that double-baby belly.
If I look half as awesome as you @37, I’m posing for Playboy.

Thanks. Flattery will get you everywhere. Or at least to second base.
Happy Birthday, oh how I miss my nursing boobs. Thanks for the reminder

Does anyone EVER figure out who Jack Shit is? I don’t care to know him anyway.
Happy birthday Jenni!

Yup, looks about right.
Love the balls you’ve got to show it all.
Happiest of days to you!
This is one of the most beautiful collections of wise words and moving B/W pixs ever. I first met Jenni in the mid 90′s–before blogs or any of our respective kids even existed. So happy to still know her! Once she gave me a birthday present that stayed on my apartment wall for the 7 years I lived there. She and her roommate painted their feet and left me colorful footprints on white paper with the words–We dance for your birthday. That was one of the coolest, most fun prezzies EVER.

Whoa. I can’t believe you kept it that long!
Fantastic.
Happy Birthday — I hope you got to do something tremendously special.

Knowing that you don’t know is knowing more than most people know, you know.
Glad to have shared some of those years knowing you.

My boobs didn’t even grow when I nursed. Dammit. Happy Birthday!

Hoping you had a fabulous birthday, my fabulous friend! I look at your lovely nursing rack and contemplate these deflated bags on my chest and sigh. Enjoy ‘em while you’ve got ‘em I say!

Happy belated birthday!!! I’ve been so behind on my Reader that I only just saw this. I love how you documented your 37 years so far… I’m looking forward to what this new year will bring to you and your family.
And I LOVE my nursing rack, too… even though it’s not as beautiful as yours (see my post about it here http://wp.me/p1Ug62-4X apologies if you’ve already read it).

You kick ass! In spite of everything you’re going through right now. I think you are a PHENOMENAL woman. Love the photos you shared. Priceless. Sorry I am late to your birthday party!

The older I get, the less I feel I know. WAY different feeling than in my 20s when I knew everything. Happy B irthday.

37 years of living. I’m about half to yours. Anyway, they say the older you get the more wiser you become. It is time tested.

Belated happy birthday you.
But seriously..rockin’ the cleavage there. This is practically an adult site now.
You know they have those new domains, right?
