Today i turned 36….and i do not have any list to show you of things i have
accomplished this last year or anything i want to accomplish the next year.
What i will share with you are 36 things that just pop into my mind as i write.
1. Contrary to popular belief..i really do not like taking photos of myself.
2. If you notice photos of myself…i cut off my head in most of them.
3. I get acne.
4. I have a tendency to pull on my earlobe when i get nervous.
4. My Seattle bestie sent me a disc of previously unseen photos in which i will show you…now.
5. I get really bad toe cramps when i wear really pretty but not so comfortable shoes.
6. I used to smoke in high school.
7. I smoked while i was in France.
8. I have one french cigie left…and i might smoke it tonight.
9. I will live if i smoke it…and i will actually enjoy it.
10. I don’t recommend smoking to anyone….but really…french cigies are good.
11. I am a good 10 pounds heavier then when i was in France.
12. My 30 for 30 days of working out in November…is not so good.
13. I think i’ve hit the gym …possibly…3 times this month.
14. I really have no reason other than i like to eat.
15. I like coffee.
16. I can easily drink 3-12 cups a coffee in one morning.
17. I don’t have a problem.
18. I like wine also.
19. I think you already know that.
20. I will continue to drink 3 glasses of wine a night due to my health.
21. My health is really good except for my weight.
22. If i stopped drinking wine at night then i would be skinny.
23. I would rather be healthy.
24. I once called my husband “Pierre” by accident.
25. As you can see…..it is easy to get the two confused.
27. Obviously…Pierre is dark…and Bryan is pretty white.
28. I almost forgot what Pierre looked like.
29. We all had chocolate cake for breakfast this morning.
30. My besties took me to lunch today.
30.5 I had 2 drinks called purple haze.
31. I brought along my new Fuji instant max camera to lunch.
32. The best present was from Lola.
33. She gave me a hand written card that said…..
34. Lola told me i could dress her today for my birthday.
35. Lola wore a skirt..and a feather in her hair.
36. I had the best day ever.
36.5. I didn’t even get toe cramps at all today.
glad you had such a fabulous day my friend!!!!!

Hello Kasey. 36 is good age - ’74 was a great year I hear! We are a good vintage. I loved the poem and your brutal honesty in your list! I guess we would all do better if we ate healthily and did not have vices. Yours are cigarettes, mine shopping; atleast your vice doesn’t break the bank! I do like how you make everyday things look lovely. That is a nice skill to have

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I am scorpio, too

Happy Birthday Kasey! I just had my bday and I was a shocking 44! Who knew?? I love reading your blog. It’s so nice and relaxing and fun. A great way to start the day! Drove thru St. Charles the other day to see a friend-and thought of you!

ps: ouch for the cramps!!
Happy Birthday! was thinking about purchasing a fuji instant max camera too!
Happy Birthday!
i kinda feel like we’re the same person except beer is my daily vice…i mean treat. def. a necessary treat. gift from God - even better.
I even sometimes long to return to Chicago (lived there once upon a time) and so perhaps you could find me a husband (Pierre would do just fine) and that will make it all work out.
Happpy…Happpppy!! You are just darling and those kids are just tooo cute. I love the messages from them for your special day.
FRAME THEM! Your style and my style…I wish I lived near you…I would invite you and the kids over for wine…well. UH…wine and juice.
Your blog makes my day. Almost every day!
Marlene
Happy 36, you are simply fabulous my dear! ~xo Lili
Happy Birthday - I am turning 36 soon… i hope i have as great of a list - i could probably steal some of yours - especially the ones about coffee and wine!
cheers to you!
Happy Birthday! Looks like you had a fabulous one! I love reading your blog, that you’ve lived in France and that you have kids so cute I can’t stand it. I’m also thinking about purchasing a Fuji Instant Max. Do you love it?
Happy Birthday a little late!! Sounds like a fabulous b-day! You are so cute!
Happy Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday!!
Too funny. So glad you don’t really smoke though! I did for many years in my 20′s, so gross. You’d stink, and it just wouldn’t go with all your cute outfits Kasey! ha. Glad your bday was enjoyable and celebrated by good friends.
Happy Birthday, lovely lady!
Happy Happy Day, Kasey. I remember 36 like it was, well, 26 years ago. Every decade gets better, so you have a lot to look forward to.
Happy Happy Birthday Kasey! Wishing you continued coffee drinking, wine sipping, chocolate cake eating and much happiness in your year ahead! your zest for life is fantastic!
xoxo,
LuLu

you are just so adorably funny my friend. Canadian darts (cigarettes) are wonderful too…especially Players and they come in a sweet box that just looks chic !! I think you look incredible…we all put on a few extra pounds..dont stress. I love the way you dress too !!!
Comment # 82 - nice… I am sorry it took me this long to have more than five seconds access to the computer. I hope you had a marvelous birthday and can’t wait to hear all about it. We are due a LONG catch-up call when I am home!
Love you!!!
