Nearing the big four oh! Actually I have felt 40 for the last 3 years or so. I don't know how it will actually feel when I hit it next year. Very much like me, considering I like to live problems before they actually happen.... umm.... whether they are problems or not!
Not too young any more to want people to remember my birthday, so much so as expecting some to be disciplined enough to remember & complete the necessary formalities of wishing me!! LOL
While there were a lot of old friends & some new friends who forgot, I realized I have new friends who keep track of me & remember - dedicating a page to me & stuff!
The duh!

How cool is that. SO much for my social life!! :D... & data privacy!
I think I know the reason for this dismal social life. It came in the form of some hygiene advice from my lil miss diva:
Yeah - at least a bath a day!
But no matter what your social life, the hubby doesn't have a choice & so came along for lunch outside.
I ensured I had enough sugar to keep me hyper for another month at least!
On the way back home this ensured that I was too hyper to argue with hubby who asked me to get my own cake. That's the thing about becoming too convenient around each other in a reasonably long marriage.
And this was what we did with the girls once they were back from school:
Apparently diva had already tried to taste some icing. The number of candles make me wonder if my kids think I'm 60 already!
Anyway, the cake was in appreciation for all the effort they put in to make those cards & give me some gifts they earned (like minion folders, race car erasers & the like). Yes - that's right! moms get birthday cakes on their birthdays only for their kids most times!
Also had lots of fun chatting up with a wide variety of fam & friends. There was the regular stuff 'happy birthday - thank you!'... But fam that's usually quiet gave a lot of surprisingly emotional messages! It was all interesting at the end of the day. Here's a sample of the variety!
The early birds/witty wonders:
The supercool chics:
The lovelies:
The no-matter-what buddies:
Birthdays are insane - ALWAYS!
