Thirty-three.

Today I turn 33 years old. I think this photo is a pretty good representation of the past year—and also an accurate prediction of the year to come.

    Happy birthday Anna, I hope you get a chance to do something fun. Or maybe ripping out those mauvey-grey bathroom tiles was your birthday present!

    I come by frequently to read your musings and I have thoroughly enjoyed them to the point where I check frequently and when there’s no update, I get sad. :P

    Hope you have a fantastic birthday! I wish you many more birthdays to come. :)

    Lots of love to you on your birthday Anna!

    And while you may have worked very hard this year (and may work just as hard next year) don’t forget to pat yourself on the back for all your accomplishments and successes this past year :-) You’re an inspiration xx

    Happy birthday!!!

    One of the closets in our bedroom looked like that just two days ago (luckily the plumbers patched it up). Renovation is so scary looking sometimes!

    Ah, I turned 33 on Sept. 24th so I totally know where you’re coming from. I haven’t totally come to terms with my 33rd year yet, but I’m glad to know I’m not alone.

  46. momo October 23rd, 2008 8:17 pm

    I’m late to the party, Anna, but happy birthday + 3 days! I’m 33 in a week, and I reckon it’s a nice and tidy number which bodes a good year to come! xx

    I’m catching up and just realized we were born on the same day 33 years ago. Happy belated birthday.
