forever 32
November 22, 2007A few years ago, I was sitting around with my cousins at a holiday party. My cousin had on a really cute skirt and I asked her where she got it.
Forever 21, she said.
“Oh,” I sighed. “I can’t shop there. Nothing fits me!”
My other cousin piped in with a sneer, “Well, it’s not Forever 28, Christine.”
I am happy to say that I turned 32 today and I am wearing a cute little dress from Forever 21. It fits perfectly.

Every several years, my birthday falls on Thanksgiving. As if I don’t have enough to be grateful for, I get to open presents and eat cake after stuffing my face with turkey and stuffing and pie. I’ve got a long and delicious day ahead of me. Hope you do, too.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
i’m so happy that i get to be the first to say “happy birthday, christine.”
happy happy happy birthday, christine!

day!

Happy Birthday! Today Miguel and I were talking about how we remember you turning 22! We’re lucky ducks to have known you all these years.
Happy (late) birthday, Christine! Yay for perfectly cute dresses that fit perfectly (who would want to be forever 28 – or 21 – anyway? the thirties are fantastic)!
A belated but enormously heartfelt HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Christine!!! Sending big love your way, from freezing cold Boston…
xoxo!
ps: That stupid Forever 21 hardly fits anyone. I’ve never been able to fit a leg into a single pair of their pants…
happy belated birthday, christine! hope it was a good one! (and a good thanksgiving)
hello christine! i hope you had a wonderful birthday & my package arrived on time! & i hope you really loved the big surprise of the evening, too! :D

Happy Birthday.

Belated happy birthday! Hope you enjoyed the birthturkey day. ;-)
Thanks, everyone!
