birthday thoughts....

don't know where my head is while i'm working; seems like everywhere but here. just thinking about how birthdays were when you were young; you took a bath (even though it wasn't Saturday night), got all shiney & 'greased down', put on your birthday clothes, then 'when it was time', your friends & family came to your house, lavished gifts on you, sang to you, shared cake & ice cream, played w/your stuff, then the parents kicked you out to play outside. Then everyone left & you were still basking in the glow of your birthday & your gifts. And you reveled in being a year older. Now, you just revel in being a year older....
