Happy Birthday to Me!


I'm 28 years young today, folks! So crazy. To commemorate the fact, I give you a pair of vintage photos of me at my childhood best (or beast):


"What are you doing, four year old Lisa?" "Oh, you know, just hanging out in my yard, rockin' some pigtails, sittin' next to a pile of Pound Puppies. The usual." I remember as a kid I spent 90% of my day outdoors, with a book. Maybe this is inspiration for today! Replace the Pound Puppies with a stack of library loans, and we are cookin' with gas!


"Let's make sure and get a picture of Lisa in her Gunne Sax dress with her favorite Halloween toy, which has transcended its holiday-based use into every day companionship. Yeah, it's an oogie little tarantula! So what!" I love how much like an album cover this completely weird photo of me looks. Honestly, I would wear this dress and carry this spider into my late twenties', no regrets!

I have to go research what kind of free swag you can get on your birthday, then off for some date-of-birth Goodwill perusing, then lunch with the fam, then dinner at some secret location Matthew has planned out! I'll get back to you with all the festivities and deets tomorrow. Have a great Tuesday, and I'll see you on the other side! Here's to the big 2-8!

    1. You flatterer you! I DID have a rockin' time. But I just now remembered I didn't make a wish on my candles! Dang. :( I'll have to wrestle a wishbone or a horseshoe or an eyelash to make up for the slack, haha!

  6. Happy birthday, Lisa!!! You're three years younger than me, so you're just a young babe. ;) Not a fan of the spider but I can get on board with the Pound Puppies!!

    1. Haha, I'm three years younger than Matthew, too! He's robbin' the cradle. :) Isn't it weird I didn't think that spider was gross when I was kid? I LOVED it for some reason. I hope my mom still has those Pound Puppies somewhere, they were great toys to have in the 80's.
