What I've Learned Wednesday - Birthdays

That's right, it's my birthday.  My buh-buh-buh-birthday.

I was watching South Park a few minutes ago, Cartman must have seeped into my subconscious.

Anyhoo, I'm 33 today.  And here's what I've learned about birthdays:

1.  Despite multiple letters to several Presidents, they won't make your birthday a national holiday unless you do something really great, like found the country or something.  LIKE THAT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN DONE.

2.  Even though I'm an adult, I still get excited before my birthday.  Not sure if that ever goes away.

3.  When I was young, I assumed that my birthday would always be about me... nowadays, I let the kids pick where to have lunch.  I've become a selfless mother.  WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?

4.  I've learned that they still give you a free dessert at most restaurants when you tell them it's your birthday.  I have gained more than a few pounds so far.

5.  Most importantly, I've learned that you don't have to blog on your birthday. :)
I link up at these great parties!
