Happy Birthday - Guess How Old I Am! Hint: I'm Vintage :)

Vanity runs deep in my veins, I believe I got this from my Grandma Hoerth who aged very graciously and never complained about getting older; she just looked amazing doing it.  I had always hoped that I would have her genes and age as well as she did, but alas no such luck and I don't believe that I am as gracious about aging either. 

Although I am actually enjoying my life now more than I think I did in my younger years.  I think that I have grown and not just aged which makes my life more rich and have more depth.   As I get older I find I am more like the Willow than the Mighty Oak and things don't bother me as much.  I also value fun so much more and I don't feel guilty for having it.  I always had fun in my life but often I felt bad for being "silly" or "immature" etc.  But now, Who Cares?  I like what like and love what/who I love and for the lack of better words "I am what I am."

So overall I have to say that getting older is actually pretty cool, except I don't believe that I am getting wiser just more forgetful (not so cool.) 

Since I really don't mind if people know my true age I thought it would be fun to post pictures of some my favorites over the years and see if anyone can guess how old I am (or what year I was born in.)  While gathering these pictures I was really struck by how things have changed!  And now everything that I enjoyed as a kid is a vintage collectible; How strange is that?

Post a Comment how old you think I am based on these pics and clips (as a side note some of things may have been just before my time but during my childhood they were  still popular:)
