HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
Since i'm somewhat anonymous on this blog, this is the only place where I can celebrate my birthday unabashed! Don't ask me how old I am, now. Well, its somewhere in the 30s. How do people celebrate their birthdays as they get older? Do they even celebrate it? Tips? Advice?
I don't celebrate my birthday anymore. I stopped in my 20's. What I do instead is call my mother and thank her for giving birth to me and raising me the way she did.
I celebrate my birthday with chocolate. I tell everyone that I when I turned 25 I decided to stay with that age so as not to inconvenience anyone. I have been 25 for quite a few years now!
Hey Miriam, I didnt know it was you B-Day!!! And we were roommates! How could I have forgotton... I think that's like the grey hairs you get from being a parent it also affects your memory! LOL! Anyway hope it was a good one!!!! Ad Meah V'Esrim! xoxo, Beans

Happy happy birthday!!
If you're in your 30's you;ve totally earned your right to tell a small white lie about your age! I'll be 28 forever!
Hope you enjoy the day!!! :-)
HB!
Thanks all!

So Yom Huledet Sameach to you.

I love you guys!
Bit late on this, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
When I hit 39, I started saying "39" thereafter, commenting that "Jack Benny and I are like this (holding up a pair of fingers attached...)"
That Jack Benny reference only makes sense to people even older than me!
Hope it was a great day!
