Hey Penny. Remember Sandra Boynton books? There was a birthday card she did that showed one hippo, 2 birds and 2 ewes on the front. I always loved that birthday card. I almost always think of it when someone says 'happy birthday'. Hippo, birdie dear Penny...hippo birdie two ewes.
i didn't want to post here but you're having one of those birthday moments and i can relate. Why do birthdays insist that we look back and assess the past year? Just like "another New Years", "Another summer"...if I don't feel great anyway, holidays- heck, even weekends just like to scream at me, "HA!!! I return!!!"
I also think that b-days are tough if we don't have a lot of support...always want to feel special on your b-day, you know? It's natural. We can say that it doesn't matter but you know, it's still nice if people just wish you well, i
think.
And I wish you well. This year will be different and better. Well look at the roomie situation...You're already better off than last year! :D>>I apologize for the pity party I'm having with myself.
Would that be a birthday pity party? Don't be silly. You're not bitching, just emoting. That's why the board's here. That's what I think we should have...birthday pityparties. Don't force me to pretend I'm happy, damnit! Your guests could bring consolation gifts, say, "really sorry"...and it would be all taken care of! So you could party but you but wouldn't be expected to smile sweetly.
