The Sharing of Birthdays

My birthday is Saturday and I'm making preparations for my weekend, etc.  Surprisingly enough I share my birthday [week] with some fantastic people. 

Kellie (best friend with a baby in her belly) and I were born on the same day, in the same hospital, just a few hours apart - I'm older.  Who would of thought we would be planning our birthdays around the possible arrival of her new little man [still no name].  I was born on my Mother's birthday so I know what it is like to share a birthday with Dear Ol' Mom.  I told Kellie to keep that baby in her belly until June 3rd.  Let's be honest here, I want her to go into labor right now - that means I get to leave work and have several days off for my birthday week but if she must wait, she must wait!!  Anywho - we share our birthdays with a lot of people -- "Little Man" needs a day of his own!

I also share my birthday week with Erica {her birthday is May 31st, please send wine, flowers, and chocolate to EMA!} Erica swears she is the same age as I am.  I mustache you a question? How old are you?  I will go along with the same age thing.   Let's hope that this year will be just as exciting as years past -- again all plans are subject to change with the arrival of the "Little Man."

I had someone tell me the other day that I was too old to take off work for my birthday, that I should be done celebrating birthdays - it was just a sign of getting old.  Yes, I'm old, not married, with no kids -- Lord help us I don't need another reminder.... But to take an entire week out of my life to celebrate my birth, I'm going to celebrate that I'm alive, healthy, no kids and I have a great boyfriend!! 

It is one week out of 52 weeks where fun is had, cake {made by MARY JO} is eaten, friends come together, and I get presents.  Why wouldn't I keep celebrating!  Everyone should get at least a day -- I just try to press my luck as far as I can get it and get a week out of it! You are never too old to celebrate your birthday, even if you are telling everyone you are several years younger like I do.  Feel free to send flowers, get Mary Jo cupcakes, buy Busch Light, Panchos cheese dip or beef jerky.  I love all of those things.  Let's get this party started!


Happy 27th 23rd Birthday to Me [and Kellie and Erica]!!!


HURRY UP BABY SMITH!!!
