It's the First Anniversary of My Thirty-nnn...nevermind... Birthday


And, I thought last year was bad.

First of all, I'd like to thank my mother for always being there for me, for supporting me, and loving me, and I'd like to tell her I'm sorry that because of me she can never excitedly jump up and down without... Well, that's another "never mind"... I love you, Mama. Sorry.

Secondly, yes, that means it's my birthday.

Third, what about it?!?

Kidding. Kidding.

I don't mind having a birthday. Just don't send a bunch of waiters over to sing to me. And don't buy me gag gifts like a cane, or dentures, or exercize equipment unless it's a treadmill because I need a new one. And don't send me a cake made out of adult diapers either, or fruit, or flowers for that matter. I want a real cake. Lemon. Or chocolate. Butter cream frosting. Sprinkles. Single candle. And I like funny cards, not mushy ones or musical ones unless they're extra funny. And I'm not wearing a birthday hat so don't even think about it. Or a "birthday girl" award button with hot pink frillies. Not gonna happen.

*breathing*

It's OK... I'm alright now.

39.

Ouch.

On the positive side, though, at least celebrating my 39th's second anniversary next year will be a whole lot easier!


Thankyouthankyouthankyou, friends and family, for the ridiculous amount of sweet birthday wishes... I am so very blessed with wonderful people in my life!!!

I love you sister. Lets plan right now where we will celebrate next year. Know anyone with a cool house in Hawaii???? Hmmmm, lets put our heads together and see what we can come up with-- but for sure a vacay with friends is the way to go.

Very presumptious of me to think you would want to celebrate with us........ :)

39 great years! I just turned 37--something about those odd numbered birthdays is disconcerting. Although I imagine turning 40 will be weird.
