Nothing says, "It's my birthday!" like, "Wake up one year older and wear giant zebra stripes! Woo hoo!" It's not the most flattering, but it was my privilege yesterday, as the calendar flipped another year on me without my agreement. So I kind of stuck it to the calendar with "in your face" bad taste. I'm fierce, huh.
It's a new rendition of "When I'm an old lady, I shall wear purple." I've been wearing purple all my life since it's my favorite color, so I had to find something else spunky and questionable, concerning taste.
I am a 47 year old zebra. Hear me roar.
We went to church yesterday then took off for lunch and Cincinnati to shop Ikea. We both asked for Monday off work, so we stayed over night.
I'll be back tomorrow with the preview of this week's random dozen.
Hope you had a great weekend!

Lid -- Happy Birthday! You're still a baby and you look great in Zebra!
It is a confident woman who will wear a zebra print. And you look good in it! I wear that and people get out their big game guns.
Happy Birthday Zebra Lady! Hope your shopping trip was successful!
You look beautiful!!!! Not at all like a 47 yr old...
Hope you had a wonderful birthday. What a gift to go for the weekend/beginning to celebrate. Hope you got lots of fun things at Ikea. Blessings!!!
Happy Birthday, Lid! You must complete a list of 47 things to do before you turn 48. It gives you something to shoot for--and is like a year long bucket list! This wasn't my post idea, but I loved it. You can see mine here:

Happy birthday!
I've never cared for animal prints much - but I actually like that top a lot! It looks great on you!
Man, too bad I didn't know you'd be in town - I could have brought that TV to work with me today & offloaded it on you (I'm just 15 minutes away from IKEA). LOL. Hope you guys had fun.
I think you look great.
Happy Birthday!
The rooster pic cracked me up.
Happy Birthday Fierce Zebra!
Blessings,
Amy
Happy, Happy birthday! Wow, your hair is really getting long, it looks fantastic! Hope you enjoy your day!
Looking fabulous... happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday!! I just love those IKEA comercials where she realizes how much money she saved and starts running to the car shouting to her husband "Start the Car Start the Car!!!" and they drive off like they have stolen something. I just picture you and Jorge doing that...
Wow I really hope you saw that commercial or my comment made no sense!!
Have a great day
Amy
Happy birthday!
And animal print is all the rage right now-- you're stylin'!
Happy Birthday almost siamese twin. Yep. I have practically the same Zebra print top (I'll try to photo me in it to show ya), claimed purple as my fav color all my life (until recently)(did you read about my purple bedroom with purple carpet my dad built for me when he was layed off work in the 70's) and my birthday is Oct. 8 I'm only gonna be 46 though- gotcha!
You are adorable in this Zebra print and glowing with 47 years of youngness and spunk. I hope you had a fun IKEA day. What'd you get?? Maybe Amy Grant will call...
*wink*
Happy Birthday Zebra Woman! Woo!
