Birthday Month is Fast Approaching
(The Queen Mum is either laughing as she knows I’ve always had this odd relationship with my birthday OR she’s horrified at my complete lack of social skills. I assure you, it may be some odd combination of both.)
My mother’s horror or laughter notwithstanding, yes, the birthday month is rapidly approaching. Now, I’m not going all crazy like my friend Karl (see, Mother, it is a September birthday thing — perhaps a mid-September birthday thing.) But then again, I’m turning 33, not 40.
In fact, this is a historic birthday (Prince rolled his eyes when I told him about this one and can’t believe I think this is cool). Literally, on my birthday (and the 3 following months), everyone in our house will only have ONE number in our ages. 33, 33, and 3. This will never happen again in our lifetimes. Does anyone think that is kinda cool?
So, what to do for the birthday fun? Well, I’m going to begin with a little contest. This contest is pretty easy and thus the prize will be fame and praise. I’m looking for the best e-card to be sent to me ON my birthday. The e-mail address is snarkville AT gmail DOT com. Go search the web and find the best one.
(Hints: No, I’m not telling you the date — figure it out. Yes, go on fill my in box with cards that show how much you love me — it is exactly what Birthday Month is all about.)
Alright, GO.

OK, so if I send an e-card, does that mean that I get to keep your presents? The box in my room has been calling my name, but I know that if I send it now, you won’t be able to wait until the magic day (I know it, but I’m not saying!) to open it, so there it sits. Calling me. Telling me that I need it more than you do. It’s an evil box, what can I say? Also, it’s telling me to put yarn in it, but since I can’t buy yarn, and can’t part with the stash, I’ll have to wait until after Labor Day. Besides, there’s enough good stuff even without yarn. Even – Lightning McQueen undies for the Boy. No undies for you, sorry!
And yes, I think the 33333 thing is cool. The closest coolest thing was 15 yo’s 9th b-day on 9-19-1999!

You know you want to take dares. You KNOW it.
And hey, when you’re 66, the boy will be 6. Isn’t that the way math works?
