What I have learned from this past weekend is that May is an excellent time for fertile young women to enjoy the rites of spring, the outcome of which is many bundles of joy (my friends) arriving come next February. First, I already knew that it was my Grandma's & Kyle's b-day weekend...then I was involved in two major birthday celebrations (one lasting 16+ hours, one spread over two days). And extremely fun occasions, both of them.
The problem now is, even MORE people told me that their birthdays are coming up this month or are in early-to-mid March - but I was having way too much fun (iykwim...aityd). I'll never remember who enlightened me to their happy occasions. And then I'll have to AGAIN ask them when exactly their birthday is, and they will remember telling me and wonder why I wasn't paying attention.
Good thing is, if you happen to post your birthday date here, I can add it into my email address book and never have to ask again, wink wink nudge nudge. Although I am a strong advocate of birthday self-promotion. Everyone likes an excuse to celebrate w/ their buds, and prompting by the occasionee helps get friends in gear. Yay Michelle and Andrea!
