It's My Birthday!!

By this time, 43 years ago, I was already born- first thing in the morning! On the way into the hospital, my mom lost a shoe in a snow bank. She said she crossed her legs in the elevator. I was out by the time my dad parked tha car!! Guess I was in a hurry!


Isn't this cake amazing?? I'll take whatever cake I get, but this is cool. Usually, being so close to Valentine's day, I get heart shaped cake. That used to bother me- I felt like it wasn't personal enough. Now? Who cares, bring it on! Chocolate, vanilla, orange, sprice, carrot- love them all!

I can't say that I have a favorite birthday gift. When I turned 21, me and my college roommates met my family at a restaurant. The weather was icy and terrible, and I remember a long slippery drive back to college! When I turned 30, I met Tammy in NYC and we went to see Sunset Boulevard. That was fun. When I turned 40, my sister had a family dinner for me at her house. It's always great to be surrounded by family.

Turning 50 will be different. Tammy and I will be in Paris!


What's your favorite birthday?

Hugs, Lee
