As a kid, birthdays were not that big of a deal. It probably had to do with the fact that my brother, my sister and myself were born within 8 days of each other (+2 years, + 7 years.) There was also an aunt, uncle and cousin thrown in April just for good measure.
With all that going on, there wasn't a lot of personal attention on your special day. How I managed to marry a guy whose birthday is the day after mine is a mystery. Plus his dad's birthday, and his brother's (40 this year!) all in the latter part of the month.
So mid-April through the end is a never ending whirlwind of dinners, lunches, cakes, cupcakes, ice cream and even donuts. To top all this off, the big bang this year is a bachlorette party Saturday night.
And what follows April? Swim suit season. Arrrgh!

Time to get your butt in shape. No pain, no gain.
ReplyDeleteWe get hit in April, but more in September...Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteUnless you are actually planning to swim I wouldn't worry about it: get a Kaftan and relax.
ReplyDeleteThat is cruel isn't it??? Want to borrow my new scale (the one that weighs just like the doctor's scale)?
ReplyDeleteI'm picturing you in a lovely little skirted number....
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, I'm right with you there, only my overloaded month is July. My dad and I have the same birthday. My sister and both grandfathers were also in July. One grandfather's birthday is the day after mine.
ReplyDeleteThen, I married a guy whose birthday is two days after mine. What the frick is wrong with us? Do we ask for this trouble?
What the? Why would you marry a guy whose Bday is right after yours? Seriously that's like page one in the Rules.
ReplyDeleteI am suspicious of all of your family being born around the same time...sounds a little too clonish for comfort.
Just get a sarong and enjoy all the cupcakes you would like! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt might be a little uncomfortable having all those women jumping out of cakes around so much family.
