Happy birthday to me!!

'It's my birthday today!'

Younger Son is still in bed so it's just me and George. I keep prodding him and saying, 'It's my birthday today!'
He looks at me and says, 'Yeah, so? You were away for mine if you recall.' Then he goes back to sleep.

I get over-excited about birthdays. I usually start getting excited weeks ahead but this year I was surprisingly unbothered. I said to Husband, 'Do you think that after 55 you stop getting excited?'
He said, 'Most people stop after 25.'

But I'm pleased to tell him that I have my excityness back. I'll be able to tell him when he comes home this evening. He changed his going-away routine so he can be back tonight to take me out. Yay!

Have I mentioned I'm excited?

Happy Birthday, Liz.
You're never 55, surely.

Happy Birthday Liz, a very symmetrical number to be sure.
I think it is lovely that you are excited and I hope you do better than the cake of soap I got. Well it did come with the promise of a new laptop when I get my courage up to do it.
Have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday, Liz! I hope you always have that excited feeling for birthdays; it's obvious you have a joy for life--love the video! I hope Husband takes you out tonight and gives you a very nice present...more than just a card:)

I wish I'd known and I'd have made a cake for you.

I hope you have a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Liz :)

Birthday hugs for Suburbia x

PS, He did get you a card didn't he?!!

PPS love the vid, if it had been me I'd never have kept my balance on that rock, there would have been a big splash instead!

Merry Birthday!

Happy birthday. I like to have mind acknowledged but don't bother with cards or going out or anything maybe it is how one is raised, birthdays used to come and go without much fuss growing up so it is the same now. My husband is the same, I thought it was the British way but obviously I am mistaken. Have a good day. Mind you 61 going on 62 is not that exciting.
