Happy Birthday to Me! Happy Birthday to Me! Happy Birthday Dear Susan --- Happy Birthday to Me!
Today is my birthday and though I find growing old no fun I decided a long time ago to embrace my birthdays! I do not like my new age as every year passes but I love my birthday! It's all about ME ME ME on that day. The attitude toward my birthday came from my childhood. Yes, having a birthday near Christmas could be a drag. Though I am sure my parents tried to do their best for me, the memories I have for my "Christmas" birthday are not too fond. I would get the Christmas tree ice creams that were on sale and my parents would take me to Toys R Us to pick out anything I wanted---but all the cool toys were already gone!
Now the joy of Christmas only continues as I take hold of my day. I try to do all the things I have been wanting to do and can't find the time or money. And, I try to do just fun things that I know I enjoy. So far today, I went out to breakfast with the family enjoying the presence of five handsome men that lavished me with kisses, gifts and laughter.
Then it was off to get the hair done. I went cheap to Great Clips for a trim and a "deep conditioning treatment" a necessity for old hair. After the hair, I headed to the nail place to get a French manicure.
I hope to stop by the tanning place too. (Yeah I do that sometimes!) Later, I will go to the YMCA and out to dinner with the hubby. (The YMCA has a hot tub!) I also want to hit a Goodwill sometime before then too. But right now I get to work on the computer for a very looonnnggg time which is a luxury for me.And for all that want to know........I am 44! As my husband says, "well, that is rounded to 40 honey. Now next year is a different story; we will need to round UP to 50!" Thanks dear.
