How can I be 34? It just seems like yesterday that I was in my 20s and now I am almost halfway to 40. Of all my birthdays I think I am most excited about this one. It is a year of new beginnings and starting over.
To celebrate this year I am giving you 34 facts about myself. Enjoy and Happy Birthday to Me.

7. When I was young and would get scared I would run because I thought the devil was after me.

18. One of my other fears is of drowning.
19. When I was 10 I did almost drown. I was being pulled behind a boat on an tube and it flipped me over and I was trapped under the water and being pulled. It was scary.

25. I had a large scar on my right hand from surgery when I was 12.
26. I drive a Honda Accord and that just makes me very happy.

Happy Birthday to you!!!!!
May the year ahead be one of wonder and joy.
I am a few hours early, but happy birthday! I remember trying to think of ways to give you a birthday gift and have it be for just no reason. I felt bad that you couldn't celebrate it. I'm glad you can now!
Happy Birthday Caroline! We have #6, 28, & 29 in common. Enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday Caroline!!!!
I will be 33 in a few weeks and I feel your pain about getting older, but look at it like this "We will be wiser this year then last"
Happy Birthday Caroline! I hope this turns out to be your best year ever!
It was really great meeting you this weekend! :)
Happy Birthday Caroline!! :)
Have a great day!
Happy B-day, Caroline. You're only as old as you feel!!!
As an aside, I clicked on the image of Casey because (in the little thumbnail view) she looks like someone I used to work with (no, different person) a long time ago. I looked at her profile and all I can say is: Keep up whatever regimen you're on, Casey, it's working! You look great for someone who's 250!
;-)

Happy Birthday! Not sure if you remember me or not. I'm a good friend of Amy H. Amy and I went to high school and college together and Amy always had fun stories of the two of you. I met you briefly at Amy's wedding. From one Gemini to the other, again, Happy Birthday!
