Happy 1/2 birthday!

Usually, I hate being in the spotlight. I get very uncomfortable when folks draw attention to me.

However, it's my 1/2 birthday!

Mom was kind enough to remember and I am going to celebrate!

When I was a little girl, having a birthday so close to Christmas, I often got slighted just a bit. I'm used to getting one gift for both my birthday and Christmas and oftentimes, that gift was wrapped in Christmas wrapping. Just the way it is!

However, Mom would celebrate my 1/2 birthday to make up for it!

One year, a very very dear friend of mine actually sent me a 1/2 birthday card with half a check for a million dollars....said I'd get the rest of the check on my 'real' birthday! I'm still waiting!!!!

I decided to celebrate this 1/2 momentous occasion because my real birthday last year was awful! Just awful. I'd like to forget I ever became a year older last December and do over TODAY!!!!!
