Birthday Girl

Published by Kirsten at 10:29 am under Birthday

It’s my birthday today. I’m not one to want to go all out on my birthday.  I’m just not that kind of attention seeker, and I don’t need to make people uncomfortable by conspicuously bringing up the fact that it’s my birthday so that they will wish me a happy birthday.  Being remembered is nice, but I like for people to do it on their own.

Having had some disastrously bad birthdays when I was in my 20s, I don’t have such high hopes for the day.  I hate surprise parties, and I don’t need a wild night out on the town.  I’m not a wild night on the town kind of gal to begin with, so I don’t think my birthday should be any different.  For me, I just like to open whatever cards I get in the mail from far-away family and spend some time with a few close friends.  As long as everyone knows not to sing to me in public, we’ll be fine.

I’m not sure yet what the plans for today are, other than work.  Usually on Thursday evenings a bunch of us all get together and meet at the local watering hole, so I’m sure we’ll be doing that as well.  Just a typical Thursday, May 29.

    Happy Birthday!

    If a waiter ever sings happy birthday to me, I’m leaving the restaurant. I’ve made that clear to my loved ones. :)

    Thanks everyone!

    Ziola, I was subjected to public humiliation yesterday when a couple of coworkers took me out for lunch. Not my favorite way to celebrate, but I handled it OK.

    Robin, no worries, I really don’t like to make a big deal about it. Though I will have to try and convince FH to go over so you and I can have some of that yummy mango mix!

    Alyndabear, thanks! It was decent enough, which is all I really want.

    Hey, Happy Belated Kirsten!

    I’m May 23. But I’d happily swap number of years with you. : )

    Hope you had a nice birthday. : )

    Thanks John! It was a pretty decent day, so as long as my birthday isn’t monumentally bad, I consider it a good day.
