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!

Kim,
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! :)

Happy Birthday, co-12/29-er! Hope you enjoy it.
You at least have a better mindset about it than I do.

I just began reading your blog today, and it is so coincidental that it is your birthday! Even though I have just become familiar with you, "I thank what ever gods may be for your unconquerable soul" (I go for the holy trinity:-))! I appreciate the good vibes you project too and for all of us. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, and happy day for all of us as well :-) Thank you for giving us a chance to celebrate with you :-)
