Birthdays

I would like to start off with Happy Birthday to Amanda.

I was thinking just now...when we were young kids, a birthday was so exciting. It was pretty close to being the best day of the year, since it was all about the birthday boy (or girl). On Sunday - Amanda's day - I asked her "How was your birthday?" She responded with "It was ok, didn't really feel like my birthday though."

As we getting older, I think that we still have that itch for OUR day to come along. Unfortunately OUR DAY might turn out to be just another day of the week. I kind of felt bad about it. Honestly I think that her birthday was absorbed by the "news" that we spread around this past weekend. I wish it could have been different but it wasn't.

Tomorrow is my birthday! I was really looking forward to it, why, same reason...IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!! YAY!!! But looking forward, I am going to be waking up at 4:45 am. I am going to start my two hour drive to New Orleans around 5:30. I will stay at work all day long. My boss has called a meeting in the afternoon that could potentially put me here long past 5:30 pm. That means that the earliest possible time to get home will be around 8:00 pm. Now what? - Time for BED!

Ugh...where did my birthday go? I have been waiting an entire year for this.
