My B-Day

I can't believe another year has passed. Time seems to be flying. Everyone I talk to seems to be saying the same thing. Do you think it really might be? Maybe the earth is spinning faster and because the universe might be also, scientists didn't notice. OK. Well, it was just a thought. I can't say I was thrilled to turn 36, but it could be a lot worse. The age is not the problem, the problem are all the things I wish I could have done, but never did and a few that probably should have been avoided. Nevertheless, life continues whether I like it or not. It continues. Although sometimes I feel like I have been in my thirties since my twenties. I know, it doesn't make sense. But that is life for ya, or maybe it's life...for me.

Well, enough of the deep stuff, if you can call it that. Even though my husband forgot my birthday, as well as my kids (they have never remembered), my parents, two of my brothers, Jan Paul and David, and my sister Roselene called to wish me a happy birthday. After all the phone calls (unusual activity), my husband suddenly disappeared...guess where he went? Yes, I got red roses, which have been a while. He claims he remembered yesterday, but then forgot about it today. Huuuuummmm, sure dear.

Went to watch "You Again". Love movies. My mother-in-law took me (I love her). Yep, just me and her. Does it sound lame? Absolutely not!! Actually it was quite fun. Cute movie. If you ever had the same experience of being bullied in school you kind of relate to it. I was. For one year in Aurora, Colorado. Always called it my hell. Still remember her name...Holly. Wish I could remember her last name. If I researched my yearbook from 6th grade I could find out, but it really isn't worth it, is it. After that I had many a wonderful years. Best time of my life. There is always a rainbow after the storm isn't there?!

Came back home, put the kids down to sleep. My computer time...now, my blog time. Checked my e-mails. Happy to find so many happy birthday wishes... here are a few:

My dear sister-in-law. Always so thoughtful. I don't think she ever forgets anyone's birthday. I should be ashamed. She also sent me an e-card that said: "Wishing you the warmth from a beautiful day" ... I thought that was such a great wish. Thanks!!! Also, her parents. They make such a cute couple!

Geisa:Olá Cindy, parabéns, muitas felicidades....
Estamos com saudades...
