Happy Birthday to Me
I guess I should post about my birthday. I don't sound all that excited do I? I'm not bothered that I am a year old (although 31 does sound old), I just think that birthdays are ridiculously anticlimatic. I had a nice day. We went to church, I took a nap, we had friends over for a delicious dinner and cake-- Pretty much a nice day, but it was basically the same Sunday afternoon that we always have. We usually have people over for dinner and there is always dessert involved... so- I also felt bad for Adam because it was also mother's day so- 2 holidays trump 1. It was sweet of our friends to come over and bring cake and cards and we had all the family call. I guess after a certain age, birthdays just become another day.

What--you didn't mention that it was Adams and your birthday! How many married couples celebrate the same day? Poor Adam got shorted-however we all remembered him.
No No No! I refuse to give up birthdays being a big day for adults.
i still want the anticipation of the day. the hoopla. the fireworks. etc.
it is kind of fun that you both have the same birthday.
next year not being on mothers day it will be much better and you can have it at chuck e. cheese.
I know- it is so sad. I really should try and find some enjoyment in a birthday. Last year Adam threw this giant crawfish boil to celebrate my 30th. It was sooo fun.
It is fun having the same birthday, but when you were raised with your birthday being the day that is all about you, it is hard to suddenly switch to celebrating someone else on your day. I am sooo mean.
Lara,
You have to tell me what Adam wanted embroidered for his fly fishing case, I am going to do it and send it to him for his anticlimactic-doubly-shared bday, ok?

I'm with Kristi, and refuse to let birthdays get lame. I think we need the celebration more as adults than we did as kids. The rest of our lives are so full of work, responsibilities, and "have to's" that it's nice that at least ONE day a year can be our special day. (Of course, it helps if your family and friends share this notion.)
Please say it isn't so! I don't think birthdays should ever be just another day. I will admit it must be challenging to have the same birthday as your husband, but there must be a solution. Perhaps you should celebrate his birthday the day before, have a joint celebration the day of, and a special day for you the day after? Nothing like a birthday celebration that spans several days!
