Can we just skip to November? My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks... Please no happy birthdays!!! Birthdays depress me greatly and I'd rather just get through the day like any other day without all the garbage. I like to celebrate other people's birthdays IF they like to celebrate them but if a friend says I don't like my birthday then I will leave them be. I hope my friends will respect me in the same way. Every year it seems I offend someone who is well meaning and wants to whoop it up because I do not enjoy my birthday at all. I hate it! Even talking about it now is getting me depressed. There are always some people who just can't understand this concept and that's okay except they always want to win me over to the wonderous celebration of more gray hair, sagging body parts, wrinkles and all that jazz. Whooop De Doodle! I am not asking for anyone to change me... just accept me as I am and look at the money and effort you save because I don't want anything. However, my is up to something. I know he is planning something. He means well but I am so dreading this. I sooooo do not want to come home from a really long day at work and have to be nice to a bunch of people at my house. I don't know what would be worse... if he invites all my friends or all of his! Can we just skip to November now? |

Sorry mate, but I've had enough scares in my life to be grateful for every birthday!! And hope for at least thirty more! God bless you Corrie, Leanne

Amen!

I have been protesting birthdays since I was 15. I could already see where all these yearly events were heading and I knew I didn't want to go there! My mom was bemoaning her age last year and I reminded her of my 15th. She remembered the day because I sat in the kitchen crying. Finally at 73 she understood why. At 24 I started counting backwards. Now when people ask my age I tell them I am ageless.
| ||
|
i say skip them all and lets head straight to the resurrection, i am ready, cheers May the Lord bless you and keep you

Hey Corrie, I know how ya feel. Mine is on the 22nd of this month and I just look at it as another day. If your son is up to something then just let him do it. I know it will be hard on you, but thats him showing his mom he loves her!! Just think of the wonderful ways you can get him back!! LOL I won't sing ya a song, but I will wish ya a good day when it rolls around!!

Yep. I don't like being the center of attention for my birthday, for other's that's just fine, I'm there; but I have very young nephews and niece, who love me and look forward to giving me a surprise bash, just them and me. I got to love that, cuz they're so sweet. Otherwise, I don't like my birthday celebrated with parties, or singing the traditional birthday song, but someone can just acknowledge my birthday or send me a happy wish, that's just fine. No big thing though!!!

Ma REAL birthday is in November - but as ya know us Queens have 2.. so I have a pamper day when I feel like it.. when its MY treat and not just cos I have to.. its a well good spontaneous day.. Last time I went with a friend to a Health spa and stayed in Jaccuzzi and sauna and pool all day.. then had massages from head to toe..

'course you know Corrie, we could always celebrate our 'new life' birthdays! I made Jesus Lord of my life, officially on 28th june '94 and my baptism date was 16th dec '97, so I could be nearly 10 or just turned 14! They were the official dates, first heard God's voice xmas '80, first visit from Jesus '89, so I guess we can choose eh! My nanna invited me to her 4th 21st b'day, sadly she died just short of it! Now does that make any sense? I hope I havent confused you!!!Have a great weekend!

sorry sister

Hope ya get to do something like that for you.. whether its your birthday or not.. Now that spa thingy you mentioned. Oh I could do that!! I am very much a jacuzzi kinda girl. I think a Treat Yourself good day is always welcomed. I do wish I could afford something that luxurious. I have been watching the travel channel and oh man, the spas on some of the places they go. Man, I would love it! Thanks for your comments Fraz. I am glad I am not alone.

Indeed something worth celebrating. God rocks!
| ||
|
ROFLOL!! Well there is already a website that takes donations for certain saline implants. Alms for wonderbras is not that farfeched! LOL
| ||
|
Go get 'em Eli! LOL
| ||
|
OOH stevie, you stirrer!!! Besides it takes some cajunas to be the only guy on this post with all of us strong women about. Certainly he knows how Aussies slap by now and I am sure he doesnt need telling that hormonal "about to have a birthday" Texan women tend to own guns. LOL
| ||
|
Congrats!! That's a good way of looking at things! I tend to get way too reflective around my birthday. Sometimes thinking too much is not a good thing. A positive attitude is key and one way for me to keep positive is to not think about my birthday. God bless you and thanks for your comments.
| ||
|
Wow... "Our age helps us sift out those who have no depth perception." That's really profound. I like that! Can I steal it? Essentially you are so right but it's just not always easy to remember to look for that beauty within ourselves. Thank you for your uplifting and inspiring comments! (Hey Marilyn, use that one for your blogger's quote collection!!)

Why don't we all celebrate our birthday now, get the unpleasantrys over and done with and just skip to this time next year and then we can do it all over again and again and again, pretty soon we will have accumulated 20 years to our current age in 20 days and we will be old enough to go through our second childhood and we will be looking forward to birthdays again . . Or maybe i should go away . . head hangs down . .  To gain is to lose

10/7/2007 4:28 pm |
Could look at it this way! Every birthday I have I'm getting closer to those blessed latter days spoken of in Job!
| ||
|
Whooop De Doodle! Now that's the way to look at it. I hate the thought of my birthday too. Now when does all this start?... gray hair, sagging body parts, wrinkles and all that jazz. haha Seeing Stevie get Whacked kinda made my day, a brave man indeed, thanks man. I was sick with the flu on my b-day. Turned off the phone for 2 days. My mom called and was so upset I did not answer or call her back, sheesh! Be strong and tuff there Corrie for Jake, if he makes the effort then it will be a real gift.

|
Hey you have my middle name as a name. Thank you for your comments and God bless you Lynn!
| ||
|
Well the anniversary of my divorce is on Valentine's Day. I figure I do not need some stale chocolates that have been sitting in a heart shaped box on a shelf three days after Christmas to know that I am loved!

Gosh!!! at this rate,i might get whacked too... my birthday's 15th November and i don't mind us skipping to November... brings it closer!!! i LLLLLOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEE celebrating my birthday and it wouldn't be fair to skip all the way to December or worse, next year!!! that would mean i'd have to wait AGES again for it to reach!  let's just skip to 15th.. mid November, and after that, skip again to whenever!!! Am richly blessed, highly favoured and deeply loved of God

Because Birthdays make me depressed, whacked out and totally crazy. Imagine a woman in her 40s with hormonal mood swings in the most difficult and moody way... Now times that by 100 and that's how bad my birthdays are... so if we just go on with life like regular, it's no big deal and I can get thru the day like any other day.
| ||
|
Perhaps it would be easier to accept for those who were born on February 29.?
| ||
|
It's in a couple of weeks. I think I will hibernate that weekend! LOL God bless you!

Well my friends, I'll be 61 on January 18th and I'm just proud to be here. When you consider the alternative.........birthdays ain't so bad. Besides, 61 ain't old......if'n you're a tree. Lord, keep one hand on my shoulder and one hand over my mouth!
