Birthdays.
Some people hate them. They dread them coming around every year. They lie about their age.
I love them.
I celebrate my birthday as long as I can and proudly admit that this year I am 59. Although, I'm wondering if I should have kept my mouth shut at school. There were a few, "OOO. Next year's a big one. We're going to have to do something."
I woke up this morning and checked Facebook. So many birthday wishes. I loved this one from my high school friend, Dan.
One of my granddaughters called me before school while she was riding the bus to school.
A friend's daughter sang me Happy Birthday in the enthusiastic way only a five-year-old can.
A class sang to me later in the morning, while also tormenting me with bananas (I hate them. The class thinks it's funny to torment me).
My husband took me out for supper and I had bacon wrapped shrimp. And green beer.
And, of course, March Madness starts today, so there are plenty of college hoops to watch the next few days:)
And Andrew Smith and Gae Polisner wished me Happy Birthday. I feel like a rock star, although I'm sure they wish everyone Happy Birthday...
I love my birthday.

ReplyDeleteYes I completely agree some people don't like birthdays but I am the one who cherishes this day to the fullest. I like to spend the day with my loved ones and party hard. This year I celebrated my 25th birthday at event space NYC. It was a beautiful outdoor location which made my day very special.
