Happy Birthday to Me!

Holy Cow, when did I get so old? You know you are starting to get old and nostalgic when you begin planning birthday parties that revolve around things you did as a kid. This year it is roller skating. I have fond memories of skating to Madonna's "Crazy for You" with my adolecesnt crush of the moment. Sigh, good times.

Ok, so this is my first "Blog". What the heck is the dealio with these things? It's like legal crack. People are addicted. Apparently, we all have something to say and feel that there is nothing like a public forum to rant, rave and otherwise complain about whatever topic is pressing. I think I will dedicate my first blog to...drum roll please.......greeting cards.

Since it is my birthday, I have received birthday cards from Mom, Grandma, Mom-in-law, Husband etc.etc. My two year old even gave me a birthday card this morning, which was really cute except for her signature looked an awful lot like my husbands handwriting. I was thinking this morning that if I had a dollar for every birthday, Valentine's Easter, Christmas card I got, I would have a lot of money. I receive about 60-100 cards a year. I have decided from this moment on, I am going to send a piece of notebook paper with $2.50 and a short greeting. Like....Oh...."Happy Birthday" or let's go out on a limb here and say "Merry Christmas". Why do we need Hallmark to compose sweet bits of prose, when we really don't mean what THEY say the first place.


Let's contribute to people's pocketbooks instead of their emotional well being. Send cash not cards!



Have a great day!
