Birthday p1

It's birthday month which means it's a fabulous time to be alive. 

Ok, mostly it means I do the same silly things but claim it's in the name of birthday celebration and people go for it. Like having a food fight or doorbell ditching or inviting friends over to drink tea--a tea party, if you will. 

Lately I've been using it to get my family to do stuff for me like sharing the good spot on the couch when I come to visit or show me how to change my oil--on a related note, I've freaking been paying people to do that for how long now?! It's so easy, a caveman could do it. Sorry allstate cavemen, if you learned how to change oil on my car you'd say the same thing.

When I was younger I tried not to let my birthdays be a big deal for me, but that never felt right.  As I've gotten older I've come to see that in addition to marking the passage of time, birthdays need to be a way to celebrate life and showing gratitude for having family and friends willing to share it with you.

Also I get fireworks every year for my birthday. 

I am that cool.
