I miss him most at unexpected times: when my bike crashed into a tree, and Himself rushed me to ER, and the tree was still standing when we returned. I knew that if Pop were around, that tree would have been toothpicks. <br /><br />I read your comment and thought about all the dates and events that conflict with birthdays... My sister's came on either Labor Day weekend or the first day of school. Not so great either.<br /><br />Lane, I can't see the Perseids from the roof of my building in NY, too much ambient light, but thought I might try from the beach last summer. We turned off the car and waited. Giant beams of light crossed the sky. Not meteors, as it turns out. We're 5 minutes in 1 direction from the "Gold Coast" and 5 minutes in the other from the county jail.<br /><br />I've reached the point where I don't recognize that girl in the mirror some mornings. Will not dwell on that.<br /><br />Again, I'm surprised and delighted by the different reactions people have to the subject of birthdays! Thank you all!wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-63108294667954904652011-07-29T09:13:28.097-04:002011-07-29T09:13:28.097-04:00Happy almost Birthday WFF.

The Perseid meteor shower always appeared near the day, and my parents did not discourage the idea that this heavenly display was somehow in my honor. My daughters commonly write me heartfelt notes and these are my main presents. DH takes me to dinner and knows I will order something I want or he finds a little antique.

School was always out for the holidays and everyone incredibly busy so no parties or gifts for me, except from my parents. <br /><br />Now that I am older people are busy with holiday parties. My mother and husband give me with thoughtfully-chosen greeting cards and husband tells me to buy myself something expensive on his credit card, the perfect gift for me. My dad used to call and we would talk for hours but he is now gone and I'd give anything to speak with him again.<br /><br />I have sent my mother a bouquet of flowers and a thank you note on my birthday every year since I was 18.xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-8410979632496842872011-07-28T19:15:26.350-04:002011-07-28T19:15:26.350-04:00ajc, glad you enjoy!

Shame that JC doesn't do this. <br /><br />MommyDearest, you should only see these Masters of the Universe glued to the floor at the BB entrance!<br /><br />Ladies all, thank you for your good wishes and kind comments. The actual date is 2 weeks off, so I guess the kindly stores want to be sure I'll plan a visit.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-67816183198136724272011-07-28T17:40:54.692-04:002011-07-28T17:40:54.692-04:00Happy birthday, WFF!!

Couldn't have anything outside, everyone was still recovering from Christmas.<br /><br />LOL, the description of FC is <br />hysterical.<br /><br />Choosing one's own gift is a blessing in disguise.

My husband is a similar way with gifts but it took me a while to figure it out. Now I try to put together a wish list but it's not easy, as I was brought up not to demand anything.Louise @ INGREDIENTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883303245642039938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-37394836543102521842011-07-28T13:52:19.321-04:002011-07-28T13:52:19.321-04:00Oh no I feel for you and the sucky August birthday...Oh no I feel for you and the sucky August birthday. MrBP is an August guy and always feels a little left out, friends all away so no party to speak of.<br />One year I had his party on his half birthday in February and it was a big hit.<br />He also feels jealous as I have the perfect birthday: June 10th. Everyone wants to party as the weather is finally warm, people are still home as school is still in... it is a great date for a birthday.<br />That being said if I don't send MrBP a wishlist via email there will be no birthday goodies! Men are like this.DaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-76741914370613202002011-07-28T13:26:51.923-04:002011-07-28T13:26:51.923-04:00What I hate about birthdays?

Shouldn't the mother who bore you, carried you, and suffered through debilitating pain to deliver you get a little something every year on the day of one's birth as a thank-you for all the time and trouble? ....of course I'm slanted in my opinion going through all that myself.<br /><br />Needless to say, I hope the annual celebration of the day of your birth is a happy one, and you pick out a lovely gift for yourself!egyptomaniachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192161551189890529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-78510660637960462502011-07-28T13:09:08.849-04:002011-07-28T13:09:08.849-04:00Happy Birthday!!!
