Yesterday was my birthday. Yes, I turned 39.
(I love this number. It’s become such a familiar, comforting age to be…)
My kids gave me a digital camera!
Granted, I gave hints. Actually, I gave pretty specific hints.
“I would love two things for my birthday. One – a digital camera. Two – someone with the patience to teach me how to use it and to download pictures to my computer.”
Bless them – I got both.
Either some hidden photographic talent will be unearthed or people will be appalled at the amateurish pictures I end up posting on my blog.
I promise I will be selective and circumspect.
You will not be subjected to pictures of my body parts. Unless you ask.
And, no, that is not a picture of my birthday cake taken with my new camera. We had strawberry shortcake – my favourite!

Oh!!! So exciting....I am so looking forward to pictures. I was very subtle at my birthday as well...digital camera, digital camera, digital camera....
Happy Birthday Beth!!!
Have a great year.
oreneta:
These cameras take some getting used to. I keep wanting to put my eye up to the lens. Just holding it up in the air seems weird.
I'm practising on the dog. A very calm, patient subject.
Thanks for the birthday greeting!
Happy Birthday, Darlin!
Offering body parts? That begs for you starting another blog. Call it "Beth Blue."
Happy birthday! I love my digital camera. Such instant gratification to see the picture you just took.
Take loads of pictures!
guy:
That would definitely be an anonymous blog.
(And so not me...as you probably know.)
psychgrad:
And the gratification of instant deleting! I've already done lots of that.
Happy Birthday! I'm sure 39 is a great age to be...
Looking forward to seeing those doggy pictures!
jen in japan:
Yeah, 39 was a nice age to be!
Thanks for stopping by.
Hapy Birthday!

anonymous:
Thanks.
And it was a happy one!
Happy Birthday! I am 39+1. Next birthday, I will be 39+2.
I love my digital. Can't wait to see your dog art photos.
Happy birthday :-)
mof3:
I like your birthday math - the number 39 seems to be quite popular.
Dog art??
Don't raise the bar too high!
philip:
Thanks!
Happy Day After, Beth! Sounds like the two of us had great days!
And strawberry shortcake is my favorite too. Were we twins separated at birth?
Happy Birthday Beth!!
39 huh? It's a good age to start something new and I couldn't think of a better thing than a camera.
We Want Pictures We Want Pictures We Want Pictures.
Happy, Happy Birthday Beth!! Strawberry Shortcake if perfect for this time of year. I love it too! I have a digital camera, I can't figure out how to get the pictures on my blog. My husband is suppose to show me soon. Can't wait to see your pictures. XOXO
Happy Birthday Beth!!
I hope this year holds EVERYTHING you could ever wish for !!
Ya know hints go a LONG way...better than getting Avon I always figure...
Kay...so how about ..umm... Toe pics!!
dan:
You know, I've always felt sort of incomplete...and to have found my long lost twin through blogging! I knew there was a reason I started this blog.
(Had seconds on the strawberry shortcake tonight.)
trish:
Wow - I'm really feeling the pressure as to pictures. Yikes.
But, yes, "39" is a great age to start something new!
eileen:
Good luck with the pictures to blog thing. Patience - that is what's needed by those who teach those of us who must learn...
If I've caught on, anyone can.
nomad:
If you have a toe fetish, you're barking up the wrong blog!
And thanks for the sentiment about the future - it's got to improve, right?
So did you go to someone else's house to take a picture of THEIR birthday cake? Did they give you a piece?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (Now imagine me singing you Happy Birthday in a glorious baritone, with Neil Diamond singing harmony and some Italian dude on the piano.)
dorky dad:
Oh! That whole scenario - you, Neil and the Italian dude at the piano serenading me with a Happy Birthday - gives me shivers!
Next year? Promise?
Happy happy birthday!
attila:
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Happy Belated Birthday Beth!!!! Oh to be 39 again..!!!
Happy 39th! You don't look a day over...29! Hope you had a fabulous day, and I'm looking forward to some beautiful pics, too!
Happy Birthday, Beth!
39.
I faintly remember it. Faintly....
Hope you have a super great decade of being 39.

Happy (belated) birthday!
I look forward to colourful posts accompanied by plenty of visuals!
Happy Belated Birthday...
Hope it was spectacular!!!
pendullum:
Thanks for the Birthday wishes!
(Wow - it already seems so long ago.)
Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Sorry I missed it, I've gotten kind of lazy with blogs lately.
Glad to hear you got what you wanted. Look forward to seeing all of your pictures.
