Welcome, month in which I was born! Let's celebrate all month long, shall we?
I've actually opened a birthday present already, because it came in the mail the other day and was perishable. Can't let that sit around! But I do like to spread out the celebrating. I'm not one of these people who gets their nose out of joint if I get a present 'late': no such thing! You gave me a present? Excellent! I love presents! Thank you! Oh, my birthday was six weeks ago? Who cares? Let's celebrate today!
(None of this is meant to be a hint, by the way: I am celebrating the joy I take in celebrating, not suggesting *you* should be sending me a present. I don't keep track of who does what; that sounds like a lot of work to no purpose.)
I love it when family and friends send cards or gifts; when restaurant reward programs give me a free something for my birthday; when anyone wishes me a happy birthday. Well, except that I do not, most emphatically NOT, want to have happy birthday sung to me by servers in a restaurant. No, no, no. Not my thing. But other than that, sure. Bring it on.
How do you feel about birthdays? Like, dislike, neutral?
Happy Birthdaymonth! We all need every reason to celebrate and what better one could there be? So glad you're here!
ReplyDeleteYay for your birthday month! A lot of special people in my life have October birthdays so I totally think it is worth celebrating all month long!
ReplyDeleteI love my birthday, in terms of getting cars and little surprises and whatnot. But yeah, I emphatically DO NOT WANT people to sing happy birthday at me.
ReplyDeleteA wee birthday surprise is on its way to you, incidentally, I hope it gets there in time!
