Go Shawty, It's My Birthday
I still make this super-excited face when it's my birthday:
I can't help it. The way some people get psyched up for Christmas or Valentine's Day...that's how I feel about my birthday. Thirty years after this picture was taken, I don't get cool magic castles (complete with a dragon, knights, horses and serfs) as presents, and I don't wear birthday hats like this anymore either unless my kids beg me to.
But even though the way I celebrate my birthday has definitely changed as I've aged, I still feel the same happiness... and the same desire to sit in front of a fabulous carrot cake ablaze with candles, my name across the top!
I wish you all could join me for the festivities. Here's to another wonderful year!

Do something to celebrate yourself!
Thank you! Whoo hoo!
Anali,
Ooh, I wish that sort of technology was possible! Yum! Thanks for the good wishes and all the best to you in 2010!
Vizionhenry,
I was going to go take a nap but I'm anticipating the cake I'm gonna eat later so I think I may be going for a run!
Remnants,
My face cracks me up in this picture - and me and my sister's hair. We look like we'd just finished ripping and running thru the house and our mom told us to sit down! :)
You at least have a better mindset about it than I do.
And many, MANY more....party like a rockstar!
Thank you for wishing me well! I don't feel older yet, but I'm sure it'll hit me sometime soon! :)
