I am 38 years old.
There I said it.
3. 8.
I am edging ever so closely to 40.
I am aware of that fact.
Very aware.
Instead of wallowing in self-pity, I thought I would write.
So here is my birthday post.
38 Random facts about me.
Yes, today is ALL about me.
1. I am short. ( 5'2" to be exact.)
2. I was the tallest girl in my fifth grade class.
3. I just never grew after that.

5. I do not weigh 103 today...thanks for asking!
6. I could stand to lose a few pounds, or 30.
7. I am considering Diet and Exercise.

20. Which frustrates the heck out of me!

Happy Birthday, I never would have guessed you were pushing 40. I hope you have a great day (and the kids keep everything organized for you, instead of destroying everything)
Happy happy birthday Wendi dear,
Happy days will come to you all year!
If I had one wish, then it would be
A happy happy birthday to you from me!!
Love to the 38 in you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BFF,
I am so excited that you are fast approaching one of those two "dreaded" landmarks that I have already endured! Just kidding! It did help me to be expecting Lauren when 40 arrived, so maybe that is something you might want to consider in easing your transition! But I did notice one thing that was a bit startling on your blog--when you say "crack" in the sentence that ends in "I'm seriously addicted to both," for a moment it sounds like you are including the crack in the "both" category! Whoa! I know better, but you might want to rephase that one--or maybe I am the ONLY one who will read it that way. Wouldn't be surprised as my children are always looking sideways at me as if I have completely lost it almost every time I open my mouth! Anyway, I hope you have an absolutely heavenly, perfect day. Would have ordered nice weather for you, but your birthday always creeps up on me. Guess conference had me sidetracked again. You deserve a fabulous 3 8 !!!!! Love ya!

Happy Birthday to the youngest and hippest Aunt I have!!!! Hope your day is great.
from your 27 year old niece.
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy birthday! Have a WONDERFUL day! You and I are in the same boat - there has to be a 12 step program for our blog/scrapbook addiction.
Happy Birthday you cute thing. And I love your blog. You are such a crack up!
Happy Birthday Wendi!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day...you deserve it!!!~
happy happy birthday! love the list...thanks for a good chuckle :)
hey happy birthday
quick question though are you addicted to "both" crack and blogging or crack and scrapbooking or blogging and scrapbooking? :)
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Wendi,
Happy Birthday to you!!
Love it! The list was a fabulous idea, and I completely concur with 18-20. My hubby thinks I have OCD. :-)
Hope you have a wonderful day, and someone takes you OUT to dinner, or at the very least brings dinner home!
Enjoy your special day!
Okay, just to clarify item # 35... I am NOT addicted to crack, or any drug for that matter. I was simply making a reference to the fact that "blogging" and "scrapbooking" were my "drug" of choice! The line that was marked through was meant to be a typo. Just read the line omitting the crossed out words and it should read correctly. I hope that clears things up! If not, I am sure you will let me know!!!
Happy Birthday Wendi!!!! :)
since other people are singing, I want to too!
You’ve had a birthday; shout “Hooray!”
We want to sing to you today.
One year older and wiser, too,
Happy birthday to you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Happy Birthday, Wendi. You are the queen of lists! I wish I loved to clean. Can you come to my house? Aly
let's just call your hit counter my birthday present to you. the list was fab. i feel like one of these days when we are again together i.r.l. i will know you like a long lost friend. (and btw, i "read" your addictions as you intended them. witty is indeed your middle name... well, scratch that - then you'd be "wendi witty" and that doesn't sound too good... you have my permission to stick with "wendi sue.")
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDI LOO!! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT AND DON'T LOOK A DAY OVER 37!! REALLY YOU DON'T!! HAHAHAHA!! LET'S DO LUNCH FOR THIS MOST BLESSED OCCASION!
Thanks to all of you for your kind birthday songs and wishes!!! You are much too kind.
I loved your list! Your blog is so fun and made me smile. Hope your birthday was happy and full of lots of presents. I remember turning 38. Oh...growing old gracefully can be easier said than done. Ü
Oh, you know that you're really a crack head! Come on, now!
Happy Birthday, Wendi! You are one of my favorite people!
Happy Birthday Wendi!!! You are the youngest and coolest aunt I have too!
Sure love you!!!
From your 26 year old neice!
Well, I'm a day late & a dollar short, but I guess late is better than never, right?! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope it was great!
Dear Wendi,
I only just met you through you making a comment on my daughter's blog, but I too would like to wish you a happy belated birthday. You are the same age as my second daughter. Believe me, looking at life from my 63 year old vantage point, at 38 you are still in the young kid catagory. I enjoyed reading the 38 interesting things about you. If you ever come to California on vacation, you are welcome to come to my house and organize my cabinets any time. Have a good week. I hope that you will drop by my blog sometime.
Happy birthday Wendi. Love getting to know you better.
wow! i suck.
do i really deserve the egg after this?!
umm...well,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
i love you so much!
#29 and 30!! Oh no! I also hate/despise/loathe hunting and fish FREAK ME OUT!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Wendi! Sorry...I'm a little behind this week on catching up on blogs. I completely understand the organization need...I've been having lots of contractions, but can't seem to stop myself from organizing every closet/drawer/room in my house!! Maybe you can come help???
