In the past 24 hours I’ve had three people from high school, who I didn’t think even knew my birthday, wish me well. That really makes my day. Also, my parents, from 2000 miles away, had a cake delivered to my dorm. Man. Sometimes life is just good. Just had to share… ---

By, the way, have you ever thought about how we mid-November babies were born 9 months from Valentines day? This was before it was Hallmark that sent the very best, of course. 🙂 ---

I usually kinda get ripped off on my birthday, because my wedding anniversary is on the 11th. I can think of _one_ year when my husband got me _both_ a birthday card and an anniversary card. And the year we actually got married, _everyone_, including my mother, forgot my birthday because they were so caught up in the excitement of the wedding. I did, however, get an extra Christmas gift from my MIL that year: a Good Housekeeping cook book; it’s a good thing I got it, to, because it’s the one cook book I’ve seen that assumes you know _nothing_ about cooking (and I didn’t). MIL explained she got me an extra gift because she hadn’t gotten me anything for my birthday. ---

This was before it was Hallmark that sent the very best, of course. 🙂 My parents had 6 children. 3 were born in November nine months after Dad’s b-day 2 were born in April nine months after Mum’s b-day And then there’s Kelly, the black sheep of the family, born in January. We figure he was conceived on some drunken night. ---

Thanks, **cityboy916** ; I’ll be 33 on the 3rd. Somehow I’m less excited than usual by the prospect. Perhaps some election results will cheer me up… ---

Secondly, this is how I feel too. I’m 29?! Am I really supposed to be? How did htis happen? Seems like just yesterday I was 20 and moving out of parents’ house. ---

Thanks for the message. I’ll be 37 this year. Thank Crom that it’s not on Thanksgiving this year. Last year I had to suffer through turkey on my birthday. I just have to decide what dish I’m going to make the Mrs. cook for me this year. It’s on a Saturday so she has no excuses. ---

The fun of a close to Thanksgiving birthday - you’re too doped up on turkey to want to go out drinking/dancing. A smart person has the Night Out before. 🆒 ---
