It's my birthday today. 13 is my lucky number and a birthday on Friday the 13th is just cool.
I've scheduled this post for the precise minute when I was born all those {ahem} years ago, adjusted for time zone effects and all.
That's about all the acknowledgment my birthday's going to get from me this year. The monstor move has taken over our lives. In fact, I got myself a 20 ft shipping container for my birthday. That's how I roll, and I hope there's a big effin' pink bow on it when it shows up on the drive this afternoon. Kind of like those cheesy Lexus commercials for Christmas.
Not that it hurts my feelings if my birthday doesn't happen.
If a birthday candle is lit in the forest and no one is around to see it, does one turn another year older?
I don't think so.
Happy Birthday! I hope it is turning out to be better than you expect. And many, many more.
ReplyDeleteHappy happy happy birthday, KB! For the same reason, 13 is my favorite number, and I love it when my birthday falls on a Friday! I take it as such good luck. Big birthday hugs to you! Your adventure is soooo close.
ReplyDeleteSadie - I wasn't feeling particularly birthday-ee, but I was treated to lunch by friends that wanted to see me before I left the country, which was very sweet. And as cheesy as it is, the facebook birthday wishes cheered me up too.
ReplyDeleteLisa - Thanks for the birthday hugs. The container arriving today makes the adventure seem very, very real. :-)
Sadie - I'm so rude, I forgot to thank you as well. So thanks for helping cheer me up on my birthday!
ReplyDeleteA very late belated happy Birthday Keenie. I hope the move went well and all is starting to fall into place for you. I look forward to hearing about the new country. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Go-Betty - we're getting a little more settled each day and I'll post a big catch-up soon. Thanks for the belated birthday greetings!
DeleteHow did I miss this????
ReplyDeleteI know it's quite really belated at this point, but I hope it was a good day. I know it was a 'working' birthday for you, but maybe you'll have a chance to make up for it next year. Happy Happy, m'dear!
Thanks Leo, I did actually have a good day, but here's a little secret: because we missed both Christmas and my birthday in the move chaos, we decided on a three-month delay to "do-it-over; do-it right." We are going to have Christmas on March 25 (with a tree, presents and everything) and I get to celebrate my birthday on April 13 this year. Silly, but true.
DeleteSweet! I love it!
