On 17 February 1973, a young woman named Judy entered a hospital in Manassas, Virginia and gave birth to me. She was only twenty years old at the time, and so many years have passed since then. I can hardly believe that I'm now 42! Each time I look at the year of my birth I'm in shock. :)) How can it be, when I still feel like a twenty year old at heart, and in spirit?

The past two years, I celebrated my birthday in Moscow, but this year I'll be warm and cozy in my apartment, looking at the white snow falling from the window. Mother nature delivered a snow storm to the Washington, DC area on my special day, and subzero temps for the past week. I guess it's good for a winter baby like me, to welcome a new year of life with snowflakes and my favorite temperatures. We can never know what life will bring us each year; however, there's always a certainty there will be ups and downs. Joys and sorrows. And I hope many adventures!

Hello 42...let's have some fun! :)

Russia - see you next week! I arrive on 24 February, and the first big journey of the year begins!

I did lighten my hair a few weeks ago! Now it's time to test the truth of the theory that "blondes have more fun." :))

Ughrrr... I'm a winter baby too, but I really hate winter and cold. Summer only and forever. :))

It seems that most people who are born in winter like cold weather, and people born in summer like the heat. But there are always exceptions! :)

Hello! Unfortunately, I think my schedule will be too packed this time to arrange a reader meeting in Moscow. As usual. :( I'm busy almost the entire two weeks, traveling to new cities.
