Birthday girl

Wow. I’m 39 today. Next year, when I turn 40, I want to have a big celebration at some con you can all attend. Suggestions?

Blaine gave me a photo shoot for my birthday, which is very nice since I needed to update my year-old LJ userpic.

For my first shoot this morning, she suggested I pose sans makeup:

And for the second I got to get all gussied up: (Yeah, I know I need sun on my belly. :-))

Blaine did a great job for a six-year-old, and she made me look pretty decent for a 39-year-old who’s had two kids. :-)

Afterward, her dad took a picture of me and my little cutie girl together:

    Happy Birthday, girl. White bellies are cool, too. It shows that us FL folks don’t need to be tan all of the time. Pale is hot, also.
