    birthday cake blog party invite photo

    Welcome to my Birthday! Today is the day. Help yourself to a nice piece of cake! Yes, that is my cake. Except that I put the words on there. The rest is totally edible. And the frosting? Buttercream, of course!

    I woke up at 6:00, and nothing happened. So far, turning 36 hasn’t proven any different from yesterday. Here are some non-eventful events that have (or have not) unexpectedly occurred today.

    • None of my Birthday Wishes have come true (yet). Bummer.
    • I do not have the urge to hide my age or pretend I’m any younger. (I thought I would. Can any of you old people tell me at what age this occurs?)
    • I didn’t spontaneously lose the rest of my hair color and turn gray. (it could happen.) (yes, I was worried about that, too.)
    • I had an uncontrollable, unexplainable urge to wear red today. And so I did.
    • I got a new zit. It’s all shiny, and red. Hey, do you think that’s why I had that urge?
    • My husband put gas in the car. What a man.
    • He also woke me up with kisses and happy birthdays. Again. What a man.
    • He ALSO wrote an e-mail to John Mayer’s management team to request John make an appearance on my blog today or something. Well. Like that’ll happen. (I’m still gonna cross my fingers in hopes that he’ll think I’m cuter and more lovable than Jessica Simpson, and that he won’t be able to resist the urge to check his new amps with a nice jazzy rendition of happy birthday and upload it to YouTube just for me.)
    • One of my girlfriends sent me a GC to Amazon for a backyard birding book I’ve been eyeing! She rocks!
    • My other bestest buddy send me a GC to John Mayer’s gift shop. Does that girl know me or what?! She also rocks, of course!
    • My Catybug was so sad about having to go to school and missing spending my birthday with me that she got sick! Isn’t she so sweet! (Damn flu.)
    • I did not fall down on the sheet-of-ice parking lot taking the Chickeymonkey to school!
    • My hubby is going to make me my Birthday Lasagne for dinner!
    • My nonfat vanilla latte tastes the same as it did yesterday! Yes I was expecting it to be better. I thought I’d appreciate it more. Sadly, that’s not the case.
    • No wrinkles have appeared today to mark my age. Somehow, I keep thinking I’m a tree, and that I’ll get a new “ring” every year. Phew, I’m glad I’m not a tree.
    • I didn’t break a hip. Thank God. I was worried. Fortunately, I have nothing to report on the Brittle Boned Old Lady thing.

    You are welcome to come over for dinner, cake and ice cream! I’ll even make ya a Purple Pig (which is the happiest most fun purple kool aid drink EVER)! I know, I’ve been a big tease the last few days, but aren’t you glad you stuck with me? NOW you can have cake!

    mmmm…cake! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Birthday! :sing:

    I hope it is wonderful! I can’t wait to hear about all the love and gift you get.

    Wishing you a blessed year in all that you do!

    ps: the author of the theme, somehow, figured out it was not working and commented a lot. He seemed, um, perturbed. But, he figured out MY problem LOL! I emailed him nicely.

    Hugs and Kisses, LADY!

    I dont have any novel bits of wisdom, or anything fancy to say, I just want
    to say I love You and Happy Birthday.

    PS, I hope the girls and I can make the Lasagna as super as you do.
    PSS, I am sure you wont be able to sit by and watch us do it.

    :meow: A very happy birthday to you too!!!! I must say you are just a young thing! Today I celebrate the 24th anniversary of my 30th birthday. So, there you have it. I am mom to an almost 21 year old…. yes, waited a long time to have her…. so that keeps one young (or else makes you wonder what you were thinking when you waited so long to have kids). And I haven’t seen my real hair color for so long now, I really don’t remember what it was….

    Enjoy your German Chocolate Cake and candles…. we won’t have candles here..
    You know you are getting old when the candles start costing more than the cake or when the smoke detector goes off after you blow them out or when your neighbors see the flames from your cake and call the fire department.

    Have a great day!

    :giggle: 36?!? Darlin’…. you’re just a youngin’!!

    “I do not have the urge to hide my age or pretend Iā€™m any younger. (I thought I would. Can any of you old people tell me at what age this occurs?) ”

    ah… NO… us OLD people can’t tell you when this occurs. Us OLD people are adding years, not taking them away. “HEY! You silly-assed baby. Don’t you know I’m 96 yrs old and this cane is for battering heads, not standing upright!!”

    :yahoo: :yahoo:
    Hope you have a TERRIFIC BIRTH DAY…. and NIGHT!

    I love you so much I considered posing as John Mayer and saying “Happy Birthday,” but that wouldn’t be so nice in the end.

    Happy Birthday, friend.

    Happy Birthday! Ah, 36, I hardly knew ya. I’m sittin’ here at 44 trying to remember anything from 36.

    Hope Mr. Mayer checks in on you. (But then again, maybe not. My sister got to meet Keith Urban almost a year ago and still hasn’t shut up about it. )

    Hey, happy birthday! It’s my dog’s birthday too (or really, the anniversary of the day we “rescued” her, since we don’t know her birthday). So we were celebrating all day — I hope some of that celebratory karma made your day great.

    Hey there! Happy Birthday! Sorry I missed it. 36 ain’t old. But I’m right there with you. I think every wrinkle, grey, and year is earned, and by golly I’m going to claim them! How nice that you got wonderful presents. Was the lasagna good?

    So, yeah, happy birthday. šŸ™‚ :shocked:

    Loser here. Just wishing you a very late happy birthday. I’ll never forget again, I promise. Yours is the day before my sister’s so it should not be a challenge – even for the dumbest of blondes šŸ˜‰
