Over the past few days I have received phone calls, emails, cards, presents, drinks and even a bouquet of fruit to celebrate my birthday! It is such a wonderful feeling to know that there are so many people out there who are a part of my life who care about my birthday!
What I love the most is acknowledgment that my birthday is the month of October. (They decorated my cube at work in honor of my birthmonth, pictures will follow soon) As anyone who knows me knows, I celebrate from the 1st to the 31st, it is an on-going fiesta. For those of you who are new to the birthmonth, this all started many years ago. At first we would celebrate for a weekend, but we had so much fun we then it extended itself to a weeklong party and eventually it morphed to the entire month. The beauty of the birthmonth is that it takes the pressure off of friends and family to acknowledge a specific date (excluding Michael and the parents, my brother and really close friends) and I get celebrate all month long. Now of course I have to admit that when it comes to my birthday I am a raging 3 year old, but that is part of my charm.
At this point it is not so much about me as it is people getting together to have fun and enjoy themselves. If my birthday is an excuse for that then so be it. Hell I don't even need to be there when the fun happens, as long as it happens. So the next time you are out, order a round of drinks or have the server bring you a slice of cake with candle in it. When people ask what you are celebrating tell them its my birthday!
