Happy Birthday to Me

Today is my 52nd birthday! To celebrate, here’s a flashback to my first birthday in San Francisco circa 1964. The first birthday is never complete without chocolate cake smeared all over baby’s face. Dancing with my dad made it a truly special day. I’m all dressed up, too!

  21. Wish you the best in getting out of your funk. Meds need tweaking? or just one of those dips you must endure?

  22. Tap dancing?! Cool! Do you do more classic style or cool hip style?

  23. Thanks! It’s a slideshow, so you can see how much I enjoyed it, too.

  24. I’m going to have to Google ciopino. I’m v glad it was a lovely day, I’m fucked up with depression at the moment, but still tap dancing my ass off online, which means it’s not the deepest of depressions.

  25. Thank you, Milanka!

  26. Thank you, Zoe! Your comment touches me deeply. For someone who has experienced suicidality, that message is very life affirming. God bless you, too!

  41. no, no. you don’t understand. You say your picture was from about 1964 in san francisco. my birthday is in the middle of September in 1964 in eureka. so, if the two year old you would just finish up your cake, you would still have plenty of time to make to eureka to welcome into the world. 🙂

  42. Thank you, Nana!

  43. Thank you, Leslie!

  44. Thank you so much!

  45. Thank you, Dorne!

  46. Thank you, Victo!

  50. I was convinced they came alive at night and played while I slept.

  51. I know! So cute. I bet I insisted on it.

  52. Thank you, Dr. Stivers (Courtney)!

  53. Thank you, Georgette Ann!

  54. Indeed, 1963 was a great year. Apparently I throw caution to the wind when it comes to self disclosure. Hopefully no one dares to pretend to be me. Beware the wrath of Kitt.

  68. Happy birthday, Kitt! I never say my age on line, but I will say you’re about 2 months older than me 😉 (1963 was a good year)

  69. Yes indeed, Kitt. I wish you a wonderful birthday. You are so right about the chocolate cake and dancing with Dad. You were a precious little girl and obviously adored by all. Thank you for sharing this special day with us.
