Happy Birthday to me!
I wish myself truckloads of cheer! I hope I laugh out loud. I wish me well!
I didn’t stay up last night to watch the clock change over. I went to bed at a reasonable hour and woke up this morning in time to shower and catch my bus. (Okay, really it’s 8:15 on July seventh right now I’m trying to be real careful so that I don’t do anything that results in a reporter signing off his segment with the phrase “today would have been her 34th birthday. This is Luis Guiterrez for Channel Four News.” 34? What?! Freaking reporters never checking their facts!)
But anyway, that’s the plan. There will be no big doings today. I will have a tall latte and chocolate donut for breakfast, water and starbursts for lunch and then be back in bed at a reasonable hour to do it all again on Thursday. Hopefully, I’ll have a fun shindig on Saturday (after a full day at work!) (Awww, poor Dawn Summers! That’s so sad, I should buy her something on amazon and/or fold to all her raises and bets Saturday. Huh? What? Who wrote that? Michael? Is that you?)
Truth is last year was great! I feel like I actually grew up and hopefully this year will be chockful of more great and awesome things. I don’t need to compromise getting to work on time with candle blowing and daquiri drinking (today anyway…we’ll see what Saturday brings) just because it’s my birthday. I have my eye on having a whole great year. So, we’ll save the big doings for the weekend, and today just be grateful that we made it through another year. Give thanks that I’m healthy(as far as I know right now, but Kearns assures me that at my advanced age, my liver, kidney, eyes and brain have well deteriorated past usefulness. Guess I’m going to have to harvest some new healthy 25-year-old ones that some newly murdered in his sleep Stonybrook student won’t be needing. )
That my mom is thriving under her new healthy lifestyle. (Actual conversation from Sunday Me: Mommy, I’m hungry. Did you cook anything for me? My mother: Sure, I have leftover grilled salmon and spinach. Me: Umm…I said for *me*! I then hung up and crashed Pi’s BBQ where I was fed cheeseburgers, hot dogs and ice cream Grilled salmon! Well, I never!)
I have a job that pays for my great apartment and kick ass car. I have friends who make me laugh, but who are also wicked smart and teach me something new almost everyday. (Look, some days my brain is full alright?) I love that I still find time for the hobbies that add color to my world and for my faith that in the end everything will work itself out the way God intended.
It’s the Dawn of a new year!
Happy My Birthday!
