Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen

Happy Birthday to Annie! Not yet but at 10 p.m. she will officially be 16 years old!

How did this little girl

Annie in Gearhart 1999

become this young woman?

Annie– June 2013

Annie is going to be famous someday. You’ll know her when you see her. Lots of famous people were born on July 9, so it follows that Annie will join the ranks of the Famous July 9ers. This elite group includes:

Tom Hanks — you’ve probably heard of him. He’s a two time Academy Award winning actor which Annie will be someday. Or maybe just once, I won’t get greedy.

Courtney Love — who is also blonde, hopefully Annie will stay away from the heroin and being a part of any group called “Hole”. Go with this version of Courtney:

Courtney looks like she’s kinda pulled it together. Except you can see her bra.

Not this version:

Courtney would have been lucky to have her bra showing be the worst thing to happen to her on this day.

Fred Savage — Cute boy from The Wonder Years and Princess Bride. Actor.

Darling Fred Savage in The Princess Bride.

Kiely Williams — One of the Cheetah Girls and we used to listen to them on the Disney channel on the radio. We’re Cheetah Girls, We’re Cheetah Sistahs!

Cute Kiely Cheetah Girl

Jimmy Smits– Love him! Another solid actor.

Kelly McGillis, Richard Roundtree, and Chris Cooper….all actors who make a living acting.

On the other hand the Infamous July 9ers include:

OJ Simpson and Jody Arias.

OJ Simpson acting with Leslie Nielsen and George Montgomery. That’s a good gig.

OJ Simpson booked for murdering two people. Bad career move.

You may have heard that song “Billy Don’t Be a Hero”?

Annie, don’t be a murderer. Seriously, bad idea.

My birthday advice to you, my beautiful girl:

1. No heroin

2. No “Hole”

3. No murdering

I think you’ll be good.

Happy Birthday Doll!
