At the dawn of time...

So here I am. Doing my birthday post. The dreaded day has come. Yes, I know technically I'm posting this before my birthday but I'm gonna be MIA for a little while. Andy is taking me to the Zoo to see his relatives and then I'm doing family stuff like celebrating Veteran's Day. I asked the clan to come on over for a brunchy celebration where there will be French Toast Casserole (much better than it's enemy the Green Bean we can send you the recipe Brian), eggies, bacon-ey and sausage-ey stuff with GALLONS of coffee. You're all invited too (come on over Aroogoogoola), if you can make it by 11:30ish AM on Sunday. If you can't this old veteran will understand.

.

I thought the evening of Veteran's day, I would celebrate with my momma since she is the one that had the labor pains and then other pains as I was growing up!

.
Now I'm treating you to some Bee history. Some is bad some is horrible and some is frightening but it's all me! :o) Don't worry this a once in lifetime bore since you'll already know my history next year, if we're all still here, providing Jean Knee and NCS have managed to save the planet with the help of their Father Al.

.
So come in and grab a yummy taco.

Me at 3 months. The look says "You're gonna what?!" Yeah I was also having a bad hair day so I was confused and upset.

Me at 1. This look says "Take the freakin' picture already! I wanna get my grubbies on that cake!" I had 2 (2!) parties. Hair still not much better...

Me at 2. This look says "Why oh why did you get her pregnant? I was having so much fun being the one and only!" Hair looks better though. Ignore the orange pants please.

Me at 3. This look says "I'm inside for the love of Jiminy Crickets! (I didn't know too many swear words back then) Why do I need a freakin umbrella?" Hair is bad again since I had taken scissors to it and tried to make my own fashion statement.

Me at 4. This look says "I will sit here for 2 more seconds then that's it! You better make that the last picture!" The hair is even worse, almost like I succeeded in cutting my own hair.

Me at 5. The first picture I'm talking to my agent. The second I was graduating Kindergarten so I'm thinking that's why I was smiling. You know, I was probably thinking I was done with the whole school fiasco? Little did I know! This looks says "Yippee!" Hairstyle is borrowed from Shirley Temple.

Me at 6. This looks says "The sun is blinding me can you hurry up!" Well the hair is crappy but that's cuz I had just come back from being in the water. The second picture is me in my cowgirl outfit, no it wasn't Halloween! It was The Cattle Call Rodeo done every year around my birthday.

Me at 9. this look says "I just got back from church and have to take one smiling picture before I can take off this dress and put on my t-shirt and shorts, here's your smile!" Hair, I've had worse.

This is me at 11 and 13. I have no idea what those looks say... Hair is very mullet-like so I don't think I need to say anymore.

Me at 14. This looks says "Mom, I'm a teenie bopper and am too cool to be sitting here at Pizza Hut!" Bad bad hair.

Me at 17 and 20. Okay Hair! :o)

Me at 21. This look doesn't say anything at all. Big Bad hair!

These are the Brown's Chicken years.

We will call these the Party Years. 21-23ish. Bad hair, grungyness, hungoverness so why is it that my only regret was not wearing make up? My eyes would have popped! Looky at my shorts, they have GnR on 'em!

I will call these the Andy years. Age range from 25-now. Look how young we were!

<-Nancy, Andy and I.

MMMMM... cake!

We will call these the Silly Years. Trying to get our friend to not flip off the camera since they were family pictures! Me under Jim Morrison's armpit at the infamous Alley. Me eating a whole turkey! Me holding a coconut monkey (don't ask me why, I was sunburned since I was in Acapulco and probably wasted). Me with Little Natalia. And then dressed as a dreaded clown singing and dancing for Nancy. It worked! She was laughin'!

As for a recent picture, I couldn't do it! I mean I couldn't post it here where it would draw attention to all sorts of nuttiness so I decided to put the link to flickr where you can ogle and laugh at me. I hope it works!

Feel free to make fun of me cuz I know you want to! ;op

Talk to y'all later!
