Birthday Girl

I may have spent the day with intentional infliction of emotional distress caselaw in Missouri, but I am spending the evening celebrating my birthday.

So far I'm getting Yoga accessories, a mixed media piece of art by a local artist depicting Ahwatukee commissioned on my behalf and a made-to-order dinner prepared for me in my home. I am a lucky birthday girl.

My Facebook Wall is full of birthday wishes. I know that very few of those people are close enough to me to keep track of my birthday. Luckily, Facebook posts a helpful reminder right on their feed. They can click on it and may spend up to five seconds writing, "Happy Birthday, Nancy." I still read every one of those messages and delude myself into feeling all warm and fuzzy!

And best of all, even though I'm having a birthday, I am still too young to qualify for senior discounts. I'll just continue to flash my student I.D. for discounted movie tickets.

Surrounded by best wishes and cool gifts, getting another year older isn't too bad.
