It’s My Birthday. Also, My Mother Loves Me In Her Own Special Way.

Happy Me Day!

1. I have no idea why 32 has been hard for me to take. I truly have never had an “age issue”. Well until now, I guess.

2. My Mother called this morning to wish me a happy birthday. It was very sweet. At first I thought that something might be wrong. Why just the other day, I was screaming at her from inside a Target, while she sat in her lair, nitpicking me and openly wondering why I wasn’t able (willing) to split myself in half and be in two places at once on Christmas Eve.  But here she was, being nice and claiming she was happy that I was born. But then, before the world imploded, she reverted to form and made me feel guilty for living in another state. Thanks Mom! Glad to know everything’s okay! According to her, I’m letting everyone down this year. EVERYONE.  Not just her. Everyone.

3. On the plus side, the Bears managed to win a game they should have lost last night. YAY!

Mike

    I’m kind of sad you don’t live in Illinois. Well, not sad. Angry, actually. Happy birthday, Mike.

    I think your issue might be that it’s the same age as Bridget Jones…or is that my issue? Bygones, I’ll worry about that next year.

    In closing, podcasts and blog continue to entertain. HB MF!

    Don’t feel bad, I am turning 35 on the 9th! ACK… :o \ You know what that means? That means the big 4-0 is that much closer. That means in one year’s time, I will be closer to that 4-0 than to the not-nearly-so-bad 3-0. BLAACH!

    In other words, Happy Birthday fellow Capricorn! WHEEE! :o D

    Enjoy your day. Eat some beef jerky or something.

    I was wondering why Christmas felt less magical this year. I would never have guessed that it was because of You and your stubborn refusal to clone yourself, but thank god you mom was able to clear this up for me. For the record, I’m willing to forgive you for not going to IL for Christmas. But I’m a pretty small percentage of “everyone” so my drop of absolution in the ocean of guilt probably doesn’t do much for you… Merry Christmas anyway :-j
