This is Beth. It’s my birthday and I’m going to a party tonight. The party is not for me, and I hope not to cry.
I do expect to cry during 2013, however (and probably sooner). Sometimes over my hair.
I wanted to take this opportunity to document the starting do. This is how I look turning 44 on 12/10/12:
(Thanks photo’ers Jilly & Mae)
What will I look like turning 45 on 12.10.13? Whatever the do, I do promise to redo the bow-on-head pic.

P.P.S. I just learned (thank you Google) that I share a birthday with Ada Lovelace. From opensecrets.org: “Female bloggers owe a lot to Ada Lovelace, the imaginative and intelligent “enchantress of numbers.” As the first person to envision the use of computers for purposes beyond mathematical computations — and considered by many to be the first computer programmer — Lovelace not only paved the way for all those who use the Internet to communicate and educate, but continues to serve as a hero for women and girls involved in math, science and technology.” Also, a nice do.
Don’t know how you’ll look at 45 but you look gorgeous at 44!
THANK YOU to my good friend. And fellow Sag with a birthday coming up and an exciting year to look forward to!
