  14. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, bella! I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to 30 — it seems the vast majority of the happy, cool, beautiful, well-adjusted, successful women I know are in their 30s. Thanks for making 32 look so good.

  31. Hmmm!!! I posted this afternoon, but it looks like my comment just disappeared! How strange.

    But I believe I said that I love the 16 year old you, and of course the 32 year old you. I hope you had a great day, sweetie, and thanks for making my birthday so special too!

  45. I never would have guessed that you are in your 30s. I would have said 25. Of course, who wants to go back to the awkward unsettledness of 25? Happy belated birthday, chica!
