for some reason i didn’t want to write that. i don’t know why. i’m just like that sometimes.
so far mom has taken me to get a pedicure and i told the nail woman that it was my birthday so she painted little diamond flowers on both big toes. my big toes are now SO FANCY. i guess that’s a good thing for a massage therapist, so when people are lying there and can see my toes and then the sparkly diamond flowers will be just DAZZLING.
and then kevin took me out for a chocolate peanut butter ice cream cone.
so i was thinking about it and realized that thus far i’ve been celebrating my birthday like your average preteen girl.
but later i will drink plenty of wine. so i guess that makes it more like a teenage girl’s birthday.
the only thing i need to make this birthday a complete success is some CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING.
i’m sure i wrote about this before but it certainly bears repeating – one year a few years ago i kept saying, over and over ALL I WANT IS A CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING.
i got vanilla cake.
with vanilla frosting.
somewhat disappointed, but it was OK. i guess i’m starting to think that birthdays are ok, not horrible, but, well…i just keep getting older.
but then i say to myself BUT CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVE.
i say that to other people when they bemoan how old they’re getting. i realize it’s always so much easier to give out these little GEMS OF PEARLS OF WISDOM than it is to actually listen to them myself.
ok, so now that i’m ALL ABOUT THE VIDEOS, here’s my birthday video to me.
ok ok ok then,
one year older birthday hillbilly grace.
