cutest pictures of you and i am glad you learned how to blog - you're a pro!
And where would we be without the remote control? As I read through those lists I thought of the times I wanted to tell my kids "when I was a kid..." but I usually bite my tongue. Oh the country blue decor, gag! I love this post. Who would believe that you had your hair like Demi Moore?
Now if you still had the purse and go-go boots you'd be on the cutting edge of fashion all over again.
Country blue and mauve - that image brings back so many memories of some of my favorite houses - the inventor of that trend got, very, very rich!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Diane!!!
I could have written this. Holy cow! I raked our orange shag carpet at home. It was my job...so pretty when it was done!
I had hot pants with peace signs on them that had a huge flare at the bottom so my white patent leather gogo boots could be worn! Ahh, memories!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday Diane thanks for sharing your pics love em....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I miss you!
love the list how fun! annemarie told me all about your foil and black wallpaper. so beautiful.

Bob Dylan's brother for music? Holy cow! You're famous.Love your list. I wanted the Demi Moore Ghost haircut. With this curly hair it looked more like a rats nest.
Happy Birthday! those pictures are awesome - I can't wait to see a Dorothy hamill-esque picture - hope you have a great day
Yea, well...I had to rake the white shag carpet in the master bedroom. Yuck.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Love you!!!
Diane, I have some bad news for you. It turns out that you actually grew up to be DJ Lance of Yo Gabba Gabba.
See the Proof
Happy Birthday Diane! You were and still are adorable/beautiful. I hope your day is full of joy!
Happy Birthday! I loved the stroll down memory lane.
Have a fabulous birthday! Love the pictures from your childhood! I love that your Mother told you it was painful to look beautiful!
No way would I have pictured you in the mom vests. Tell me you didn't really. Please.
Happy birthday! Live it up, sista!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! How cute are you? I hope your day is GREAT!!
I love it Diane! Happy Birthday.
What a great list...and boy did it bring back some memories.
Adorable picture of you with your red purse. Some where along the way did your passion change from purses to shoes (tee hee!)?

I request a Demi picture...oh..and a Dorothy Hamel would be good too.
The big question is...what kind of shoes were you wearing?
Happy Birthday Diane! Full of fashion right from the beginning. Love the red purse!!
Happy birthday! I'll bet you were stylin' through every decade, too. I think we have similar hair histories :)
I hope you had a WONDERFUL birthday. I loved the stroll down memory lane-got me thinking about my own stroll. LOVED the photos, but I agree: I'd love to see the Demi photo. Happy Birthday!!!! Since a birthday is your own private holiday, it's one of my favorites.
Not enough photos. I want to see the perms! Happy Birthday...
I stumbled into your blog just following links from one blog to another (linked from Tawnya's). But it feels like deja vu! My name is Diane, my birthday is September 10th, and I have a son on a mission (Connecticut). Small world, huh!
