Birthday Girl

Today is my birthday. I am 46 today. First call, early this morning, was from my mom, then coffee and birthday wishes from my love, and then the Facebook well wishes inundated my timeline. It will be an impossibility to thank each and every one, but I do appreciate them all.

I received some small gifts, which I love of course, but gifts are never a necessity. It is an absolute joy just to know I have been thought of, to have been in your mind, if just for a moment.

The girls met me at Plush BBW Nightclub. They brought balloons and a veggie tray. In lieu of cake, they brought watermelon. It was great! I took a few pictures. Here is one.

"Is it sad that facebook had to tell me how old I was since
I don't remember from year to year?"
~Me

"Happy birthday and if you like I can always remind you how old you are from year to year because if memory serves we are both the same age."
~William

I  think I forget from September to September as a denial device... So when I look in a mirror and still see my youth... it is a pleasant surprise.

So, no, William. Thank you, but no.

And not that you were being or offered to be brutally honest but you did remind me of one of my favorite quotes and why I am who I am:

"People who are brutally honest get more satisfaction out of the brutality than out of the honesty."   ~Richard J. Needham
