What 48 Looks Like

Because Bennie wanted to know.

There's rules on his blog if you want to play. But, it's my birthday and I make the rules today, so I'm just posting the picture of me. Actually, though, since I took it yesterday, it's really what 47 looks like.

  4. Damn hon, you are young and good-looking. I'd guess, 30? maybe 32ish at the most?

    You have to share your secrets someday.

  5. The other rule you're violating: 48 yr olds are supposed to have wrinkles. But since it's your birthday and all, I guess I'll let it slide.

    Happy 48!

    p.s. Please tell me you feel better at 48 than you have your whole life. I need to hear this, bad.

  11. Hi 48. 43 is waving frantically, hoping one day we'll sip the Fat Bastard together.

  16. Happy Birthday!

    Your (writing) voice is so young--in my mind you were in your late thirties. Strange how that works.

  19. Almost 48 looks pretty good to me...but then, I'll be 52 in a couple of weeks, and I'm not sure I have the guts to post what THAT looks like!

    Happy, Happy Birthday to you!

    Happy Birthday!

    Looking good. Fantastic actually. It's funny to see what you look like. You look familiar. I honestly want to say 'have I seen you somewhere before?'

    I'm going to post a really bleak, bleak post on aging next week. Like a lot of my really bleak posts it is intended to be funny for everyone but it only makes me laugh. So if you are sensitive about that sort of thing, maybe don't read my blog for awhile!

    Happy, happy birthday. But the picture is incredibly misleading. No one I know looks as good as you do at 47!

  40. i'm a little behind, but i hope you had a great birthday!

    are you sure you didn't mis-type and accidentally type a "4" instead of a "3"? seriously, you must have turned 38, not 48!
