31 Flavors of Awesome

Today is the big day.
I'm 31.
Can I get a what, what?!?!'
Can I get a flourless chocolate cake?
That's all I really want. Seriously.

If you want to play Where in the World is CuppaKim, today I am turning 31 in Florence, Italy.
Say it with me, FIRENZE!!!!

Last year, I turned 30 in Barcelona,
the year before that I turned 29 in the North Sea between England and Denmark.
 

Here's a little Blast from the CuppaPast to celebrate.


The parentals.
Saucy, sassy, seventies.


Finally a big sister. 
Wondering where the return address on this thing is.
 

Alright, dealing with that whole little sister thing, and it actually is kinda fun.
Plus, we are cute when we match.

Please note my smirk.
Also, please note I had no front teeth.
Legitimately sang "all I want for Christmas are my two front teeth".
Actually, I think my dad annoyingly sang it to me every, single, day.

And then there was junior high.
In the early 90's.
With fleece navajo vests.
That are kinda back in style.
That hat. 
Not so much.
It's a wonder the photographer was able to get it in the frame.

  1. Happy, happy birthday, or as the say in Italy: Tanti Auguri! Have a great day!

    P.S.: Do you still have that hat? I think it would be appropriate party gear for your special day. :o)

    P.P.S.: Catch any cyclists in Barcelona in the end?

  2. Okay so that hat is cracking me up almost as much as the 'tulip field' you're sitting in front of in the other picture. Also, you are adorable and your sister looks EXACTLY like your mama- I always thought y'all looked like both of them, but it's like looking at Laura. Fun!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, fancy Kim! Can't wait to hear about all those Italian men you picked up! ;-)

  4. The hat with the Navajo vest is such an eye sore. But an arm party on with that vest though and you'll be good.

  12. That hat just made my day.
    And it's my birthday too! Well, mine's the 29th, but it's the 29th here in Korea and the 28th in Europe, so we kind of have the same birth days. :)
