I don’t mind singing “Happy Birthday to YOU”…
but singing "Happy Birthday to ME"
bites...
It's so much more fun…funner…
when other people turn old.
I remember when I was young…
I used to think people who are my age right now were ancient.
Now these oldies are my homies, my cronies, my peeps…
get down tonight.
Today my birthday forecast is for light rain….no worries…
I refuse to let it rain on my PARADE.
and
my birthday horocope is for love, riches, and massive number of blog readers…
The best thing about having a birthday is hearing from everyone.
Now with Facebook, Twitter, text, email, and voicemail…
it is rare to get a card in the mail...
although ancient Kat still likes occasional snail mail.
I did get a call from a man (George Something) at a car dealership I bought our car from last fall,
wishing me a "Happy Birthday!"
(So touching, makes me want to run out and buy another car.)
Anywhoooo…………..
Here’s a sobering thought…
When you have a birthday…you really are in the next year of your life.
When you are born…you are not 1…
but 1day…then… 1 month, 2 months, 3 months…
until you turn 1.
Alas…when you turn 20…
you are in your 21st year.
(Although I wouldn’t try that line of reasoning, Wishy, until next June.)
It’s probably a good thing we stop counting months at age 2….
Otherwise, YIKES….
This Kat would be 1000+ months…
too many months to count!
