Happy Birthday to Me
Why is it every year I have some expectation of what the day of my actual birthday will be like and for some reason, the day never lives up to my expectation? I am thankful that I gets gifts for my birthday and that I celebrate it. Some families don't even celebrate birthdays, and I am not in one of them. I am one of those people that actually likes to celebrate my birthday on the actual day. If you don't do this, then your actual birthday is just like any other day, and who wants that when you're supposed to be celebrating? When I go out to dinner for my birthday, I like it to be my actual birthday, not the closest weekend to my birthday. I want to open my presents on the exact day, not when it is convenient for everyone else to get around to giving me the present. I don't want to share this day with anyone else; I want it to be special. I know this may sound selfish, but, after all, isn't that what this day that comes around only once a year is really all about. ...
