35 today !

... too late to grow up now hehe !

Published on September 20, 2004 By mignuna In Blogging

In Australia it is 12.30am, Tuesday, September 21, 2004, which means that, for exactly 30 minutes, I have been aged 35.

I should feel a sense of loss, I suppose. Perhaps even a touch of 'the life is half-empty' dramatics would be appropriate. Yet, try as I might, all I seem able to rouse is overwhelming relief that I got here.

Two years ago, this was the birthday we weren't even sure that I'd live to see, so, I don't care how many candles my cake has, or how many lines my face has. I'll never be tempted to complain about 'getting older', because so many people just never get the chance.

I'll save you all some cake

Come on Dharma, I get hassled by my classmates for being older all the time (tack on the fact that not only am a 3-4 years older than them, but I have 2.5 children and they really think of me as old). I gotta feel like the youngster sometimes. Please?!?

Oh alright. Just because it's you and I like you...I'll bestow on you the title of 'baby of the group'. That means you not only get to feel like the youngster, but you get to do all kind of ridiculously irresponsible stuff and get away with it. Not that you'd do anything irresponsible, but you now have an excuse.

awww, bluedev is our official 'baby of the group' hehe

Shouldn't you be sleeping in, on your birthday?

yes ! i should, sal !. actually, i got 4 hours sleep and my hubby woke me to tell me that my (recently rescued) lorikeet was very ill. i had to run him down to the wildlife rescue guy (my neighbour, luckily) in my pajamas at 6.45am, and i've been up ever since. i should just accept that the mother rejected him because he was ill and that's why he was found in the first place, but i tried so hard, and i wanted him to live so badly ... i know the news won't be good. i just want to rewind to yesterday

Happy Birthday MIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thankyou, trina !

I hope you're having an absolutely fantastic morning!!! and continue to have a really splenderiffic day - well on into the night.

um, as you can see from the above, not really. but, my mum got here last night and she should be up soon, and that will cheer me up

Happy birthday Vanessa!!

thankyou, dyl !

Hope you made a wish

it already came true

Happy Birthday, mignuna!

thankyou, raven !

Why yes, mig, I DO sing that at parties. It's always a crowd favorite.
