Happy Birthday to Me!
In honor of my birthday and my birthday gift to myself (a new printer/copier/scanner) and because I had to make my own birthday dinner reservations and had to pick out my own birthday cake, I thought it was fitting to toot my own horn and wish myself a happy birthday while letting you laugh hysterically walk with me down memory lane. The photos represent the first 25 years of "Growing up Dana". I did my best to put the pictures in chronological order, but it seems neither of my parents felt it was necessary to DATE anything! That leaves me with my memory and ... well ... you know what happens when you get old! It's the second thing to go *wink*

Happy birthday ya whipper snapper.
Hope you have a great day...now let the spankings begin!
OMGOSH! Today July 18th is your birthday???? I knew you were a cancer.
Mine the 19th. One of my bestfriends, the 20th. We celebrate for the whole week. She just left after 5 beers. Cheers to us all! If only you lived closer I would have had you over for a beer and thin mints. Dang!
Happy Birthday Chicky! :)~
ps... great pics.
Happy Happy Birthday!
the slideshow is fantastic, love the orange yarn in your hair - I had yarn in all the crayola colors!!
you were, and are, adorable

OMG, I am buzzed. I had to look at these one more time before bed. I am laughing at some! I now know that having braces at 34 is better than having them at 15. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
great trip down memory lane.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!!! Fun pictures! Thanx for sharing!
Happy birthday! I love seeing the pictures from the past! :)
Happy happy happy birthday dear! I hope you have a lovely weekend! I loved the slide show -- the haircuts are a blast from my past!!
Happy happy Birthday. Thanks you for the trip. Hey I could've gone the distance. At least you had that many pictures... Let me guess the last picture was in the 80's
Jeff, who's first?? Wait ... I'm not supposed to want the spankings, am I??
Jahooni, I really like chocolate and beer - always a good thing!
Dianne, I thought it was funny that they start out B & W. All the young'uns probably don't know that color photos are a relatively new thing.
Happy birthday, youngster!
Lovely to see the photographs - it's so easy to forget how much we change as we grow :)
Have a great day!
Hammer, I had to laugh at some of those hair styles, especially the Dorothy Hammil!
RD, thank you!
Ms. I, most of those pictures were taken even before you were born. Great ... now I feel REALLY old *wink*
Happy Birthday!!! Many more!!!! Great slide show!!!!!
Peace
Marlyn, I'm not sure which is funnier, the hair or the clothes!
Lu, that last picture is actually from my and Alan's wedding in 1988. That's my dad giving me the smooch!
H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y to you Dana X

FROM ALL OF US TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANA
FROM OTHER PEOPLE TOO

AND MAY ALL OF YOUR WET DREAMS
COME TRUE!
SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANA

That baby Alfalfa photo put a big grin on my face. You had all of the best haircuts ever. I'm going back to watch them again.
Happy Birthday Beautiful!
If I could I would take you out for one of those Thin Mint shakes.
(Buying your own gift and cake just means you get better stuff.)
Vinny, whew! Now my birthday is complete!! Thank you *blushes* Now, if I'd just get off my butt and get that vlog recorded (the CD remains in the box and Cam has not yet been informed)
Knight, I though DoggyBloggy was right on when he mentioned that I looked like a cross between the Gerber Baby and a Kewpie Doll! It's actually my second favorite photo in the slide show.
Hope this works!

Just popping in to wish you a fabulous birthday! I loved watching your slide show... the 80s hair in the last one... I had the same curly mop-top too!! Hope you get to have a wonderful day (and weekend)... do we get to see birthday HNT pics next week? ;)

Happy birthday!!! I have you birthday CHEESEcake *and* a present all ready for when you arrive tomorrow. =-)
Happy birthday! Great photo montage! You are a much braver soul than I! hahaha.
Mike, got the one you sent via email - thanks!
Star, I'm a little worried about the Matt-Man threat *wink*
Baby, glad you liked the slide show!
Happy Birthday. If I was closer, I would have arranged your birthday festivities, and they would involve getting you drunk early and possibly not inviting your husband to the party because I still interested in seeing that gelatin wrestling. Great slide show. The big hair is wonderful.
Helga, thank you! I'm hoping to have a little birthday HNT action for y'all next week.
TMC, don't tell me you are a Ren & Stimpy fan!
ADR, thank you!
Jay, you're not late, you're just making sure the celebration lasts all day!
Tali, boy am I ever hoping I know what that present is ....
Nilsa, thank you for stopping by and thanks for the birthday wishes!!
*doing my best breathy Marilyn*
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday, Sexy Blogger Gal, Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, sweets! May your day be all that you hope, and your weekend even more so. *wink*
Happy Birthday, Dana!!!
You're only as old as you feel. And since it's your birthday and all, I'd be happy to offer a free consultation and examination. ;)
Happy Birthday! Wishing you the most wonderful of days!

Happy Birthday Dana!! Can't wait to see the next slideshow!!!

Happy Birthday Girlfriend!!! Just so you know, I would've bought you a cake, and dinner!! I hope you had a happy day!
Ambergail, I would hope you WOULDN'T invite my husband!
Boo(duh), it has been an absolutely PERFECT cyber birthday! I couldn't have asked for more. This weekend ... well ... we'll just have to see, won't we?
Good Dr., where do I sign up for that free consultation and examination?
RLL, I had to include at least one pigtail pic, and baseball was *my* game when I was that age.
M, thank you!
