Barbie and Me...Both 50 This Year!


BARBIE AT 50.....IF SHE REALLY AGED???


My mom called me this morning to inquire about my birth year......1959, she asked???? (Did she REALLY not remember??) Yes, mom...that's it (sigh). I can't believe you are turning 50 this year! Neither can I, mom...join the club. She reminded me that Barbie (the doll) is turning 50 too...yesterday, in fact, was her birthday. I, on the other hand, am a few days younger than Barbie since my birthday is not until the end of April...so I can still claim to be 49 for a little while longer!

Well, mom had seen the computer generated image of Barbie (shown above) showing how she would "probably" look if Barbie truly did age. Mom said to me....I just wanted to tell you....you look MUCH better! (I laughed.) Thank you, mom!!!





ME......ALMOST 50!!!

Hi. I am Susan Nichol's cousin. I live in Dallas, Texas. I was looking at your blog and reading the part about your birthday and Barbie's and my 5 year old came up behind me and said, "Who is she, Mama? She is pretty!" I just thought you would like to know that it is not JUST your Mama that thinks you look better than Barbie. Sometimes our Mama's are a bit biased. :)
I am glad that you got to go to the party for Sus and family. We so wanted to be there...so we had our own pizza party in Dallas and celebrated!!
Your blog is very encouraging! Thanks! Amy Howsley
