It’s impossible to comment on my birthday without giving a shout-out to my womb-mate, Loraina. (I am the composed one on the left, Loraina is the spaz on the right. Dude. She still smiles like that.)
Happy birthday, Fred.
We’re getting damn old, you know that?
xoxox
Flee.
P.S. Every year on my birthday I totally freak out some of my readers because they have no idea that I am an identical twin.
Yup.
I am.
And?
She sings opera, too.
Here is proof…a photographic montage of birthday’s through the early years:
ZERO: (I have no idea which of us is which. I do know that my mom’s backcomb lasted pretty damn well during labor and I think my father was channeling George Hamilton’s tanning god, but still…we’re a pretty damn good looking family for the 70′s.)
ONE (I’m on the left, Loraina is on the right. You can tell because of our highchairs.)
TWO (Again, look at the high chair. I’m on the right this time.)
THREE (What the hell is up with this photo? MY SISTER IS SITTING IN MY HIGHCHAIR!!!! Everyone KNOWS I had the cute, yet uncomfortable antique carved chair and she got the plain, comfortable one! Dude. I so must protest this!)
FOUR (I’m on the left, Loraina is on the right. The odd, cross-eyed boy in the middle is my older brother, Brad. He used to freak me out by telling me about “The Noons”. They lived in our basement and came out at noon every day. He loved to throw me in the basement in our cement fruit room in the dark right before noon and lock the door. I named my second born after him, so obviously I got over it.)
FIVE: (You should know which is which at this point, so I’ll letcha figure it out on your own.)
I think we’ll stop there because this is the point where my cuteness peaked and really…who wants to see the many, many awkward years, anyway???? :)
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I want to see the awkward years!!
Also, happy birthday beautiful. Have a fantastic day.
Have a fabulous birthday!
Happy Birthday Dear I turned 34 on the 5th I think that makes us sisters. Have a great day with your family and I will have a Diet Coke for ya.
Happy birthday! Hope it is an awesome day!
Happy 34th birthday! How does it feel to be so old? (I kid, I’ll be 34 in March!)
And I’d love to see your awkward stage pics! If I could find my track picture from 7th grade, I’d post it, but darn the luck it seems to be missing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I didn’t know you were a twin either!!! Happy birthday… :)
Happy Birthday! How come you got the fancy chair?
Happy Birthday!
Happy Cake Day!
I loved the photos throughout the years. Happy Birthday Babe! Hope it’s a great one, you deserve it!
And I get to be one of the readers who’s freaked out by your twinniness!
Happy Birthday…and I, for one, need more pictures. COME ON!
Happy Birthday!
Hope it’s great.
My friend turned me on to your kick-ass blog. I’m expecting identical twin girls, so this is pretty much the coolest post ever. I can’t wait till they can look back on photos like these. Oh, and happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! Many happy returns.
Happy Birthday!! And I don’t know about everyone else, but I, for one, sure do want to see the awkward years pictures. Come on. Don’t be bashful. :)
I keep forgetting that you have a twin!
You both are adorable.
Have a super day, friend.
Happy Birthday!!! The only time I was glad I was older than you was 16 and I could drive first!! (not like NOT being 16 ever stopped you…)
Happy Birthday, 34,
The girl with more,
than she was born with.
Happy Birthday! You are the same age as my son! And I am older than dirt!!!
Holy hell, your blonde?

Girl, 34 ain’t nuthin! Life truly does begin at 40, so you got some years to go yet. Have a Happy!
You don’t like S’mores? Really? I LOVE them Oh so much!
Anyway, I was so excited to see pictures and I for sure thought that you were going to go on and on…………O’well, it was fun.
Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY – YOU WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa. You have an identical twin?? I’m seriously shocked. I want to see you two now. That’s um…just wow. Does she live near you? Will I get to meet her?
Happy Birthday!!!!!
Happy Birthday Loralee!
happy birthdaaaaaayyy!
I love reading your blog! I really do. How do I get people to actually read mine? I think I have absolutely no loyal readers!!!
Anyhoo…have a fantastic birthday!
Happy Birthday! I have a twin brother – my only sib – and, being a girl, I’m glad that we don’t look ANYTHING alike ;o)
Happy birthday! I heart your old photos. Once I get mine scanned I will have to subject people to them. Next NaBloPoMo theme! :)
Happy Birthday, Gorgeous!!
Happy Birthday!!
Dude! I’m freaked out… but not because you’re an identical twin (kinda knew that). I’m freaked out cuz I just realized that you’re only 4 years and 11 days older than me and your life is like… full… and I’m just getting started…
Oh see… I’m so freaked out I forgot to wish you a happy belated birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! I’m a twin, too! Representing here on your birthday! Happy 34th!
Hey, please forgive me if this sounds ignorant. I am just curious… You mentioned once that you used to be much heavier. I am wondering if your twin is heavy too? Or did you two lose weight together? Just wondering. If that’s a rude question, feel free to ignore it.
Happy Birthday!!! (to both of you!!)
P.S. “You’re 34 and not spending the day with Randy Coture!!” (sorry hubby likes to watch UFC)
Happy Birthday.. just to you! :) After finding out your sister stole your high chair, I decided to just wish you a super special birthday :) She can just have a regular special birthday ;)
Happy Birthday! I love all those old pictures. They are great!
Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVEY!!!!
I hope you stick around, because the lovahs outnumber tha hatahs.
smoochies, love.
Happy (belated) birthday!! I hope you have a year filled with health, happiness, and ONLY GOOD THINGS.
Happy Birthday Blondie!!!
Why are all twins dressed alike? drives me nuts but I am sure it drives you nuts looking at pictures trying to figure out who is who.
Happy Belated Birthday! And yep, the twin thing totally threw me.
HEY
