Well, it’s here! My birthday! I’m now the big 33.  You have to admit, there are some neat things about birthdays. It’s the one day out of the whole year you feel a little bit more special than the person standing next to you. The one day you can call your own. There is nothing better than to have people wish you a Happy Birthday. I’m not one for the song, the cake and the candles….I can do without that. But just to be acknowledged that it’s your special day is fun. On the way in to the station I was thinking of the many times my mother tried to pull off birthday parties for me when I was little. I absolutely hated the fact of having all these kids on my territory and in my space. I would bawl when people would sing happy birthday to me…and I have no clue why.  One birthday in particular I remember waiting for all the kids to arrive so my mom made me usher all the kids that had already arrived outside to play on my swingset. I didn’t like them touching my things or playing with my toys so I was incredibly mean to them. One kid in particular was kind of chubby and he asked if he could use my swing. I promptly told him “NO! You’ll break it” How awful am I? Hey, I was five and I think karma is getting back at me for those remarks…don’t you worry! After that episode I kept to family bday parties where everyone was forced to wear Strawberry Shortcake party hats….too funny!  Well, I don’t know what is in store today…I think I’ll treat myself to a pedicure and a nice dinner out with my husband. If you are celebrating your birthday today….Well then let me wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Enjoy YOUR special day!
