the party's over
August 07, 2011I went to sleep and dreamed I looked like this.
I woke and saw I looked like this.
Well, I still had my body parts but my face was definitely smooshed and the make-up was scary. Those 60th birthday parties can be hell on the old body.
So my lovely friends gave me a birthday party last night. Everything was smooth sailing, lots of good food and drink and friends. Then I saw the cake. Until then I hadn't really thought about being 60. But while admiring how cute and sassy I looked in cake form, I glanced at the "60" right next to it. What???? It really took my breath away folks. But only for a moment. Sixty is good. Don't let that number ever scare you and don't think for one minute that those of us in our sixties can't kick ass, cuz we can.
Anyway, it was a great great great great great party.
Look at the cake again. Aren't my boobs and boots great?

Awesome! Happy, happy birthday! You really are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you! I just jumped this hurdle too. I've gotta say, this is the first birthday that's really bugged me. But, I like your outlook -- we 60's girls can still kick some booty -- with our fancy boots ;).

Happy Birthday!!! You look fantastic - for any age. I turned 50 this Summer and it also made me think WOW am I really that old? LOL
ReplyDeleteTwas a GREAT party with marvelous food in a beautiful setting. And Kristen looked every day of her age-- if her age was 35.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! What a great cake! It sounds like your party was a blast, but you sure don't look anywhere near 60. Thanks for being such an inspiration for me with your knitting, gardening and such!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! You are gorgeous, and an inspiration for women of any age. I hope your 60th year brings much success with your knitting, gardening and whatever else you want!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Kristen!
ReplyDeleteI think you are absolutely beautiful - an inspiration to me, for sure.

happy birthday! I'd say the party is just beginning (and yes, you do rock the boobs and the boots...in real life!)
ReplyDeleteI went to your party and I can't believe your that age because in my book you don't look any where near it. The food, home, skit, and the cake was just great. Fun, fun, evening. I love you.........
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, Kristen! You look awesome in the cake -- just the same as in real life! Okay what's the story on the skit? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou make my day when you make a comment!
