Today (May 30th)is my birthday. I am now 32, I can't believe that I'm 32 already. I am trying to think of something to do for myself today. I guess I'll go shopping to make myself feel better, then again I might just wait until the weekend to go shopping so that I can go without the children. Everyone is at work at I'm stuck here with my two lovely children. My husband is going to try to leave work early today so that we can celebrate.

My birthday is 1 April. I am your mirror age right now--23. My birthdays are usually lonely because I'm too lazy to celebrate. Sometimes, my parents will take me out on a nice lunch or dinner, and buy cake afterwards. When my parents aren't here (they work abroad), I just take my girlfriend out on a special birthday date--my treat, of course. Afterwards maybe we'll buy cake or I'll buy myself something special.

That reminds me I have a several birthday coupons that I still need to use from restaurants to get a free cake with my meal. I'm not going to cook lunch today. I'm going to Longhorn Steakhouse or Ruby Tuesday and get my free cake.

Forgot to answer your question about how I celebrate. I just have a quiet day with my closest family. This year I had dinner and cake with my partner and my parents.

Now that sounds great. I will ask my parents if the children can spend the night Friday night so that we can do something like that. Of course last week I just used my gift certificate to a spa that he gave me last year. I had to use it last week because it was going to expire today.

June 19. I dont really know what we will do this year. I didnt have a birthday party or anything last year. My grandmother passed away about 3 days before my birthday last year and I worked on the day of my birthday.

Happy Birthday! I am 21 and I really do not celebrate my birthday. All the way up until high school at every birthday party I ever had someone made me cry and never tears of joy. So I figured we can go out to eat or something, but usually I just like to relax. I liek to celebrate the fact that I am lucky to be on thsi earth, but it is not about the presents and etc. It is about teh people in my life that love me.

Happy Birthday - Happy Birthday greeting
Happy birthay. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day. My birthday is December 14. It seeems like it takes forever to get to my birthday. I usually don't celebrate my birthday because it just seems like another day. My parents usually get me a card with money inside. I really don't want any gifts because I already have the greatest gift of them all, my family, daughter, and blessed to see another birthday. Enjoy!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Magnet, Happy birthday to you! Hope you have a wonderful day! I am an April baby and don't celebrate anymore, well at least I try not to. My children don't let me forget even though I wish they would. I tell them they only thing I want for my birthday is for them to be good and not fight. That would be the best celebration for me lol.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! In our family we celebrate birthdays by going out to eat at the birthday persons choice of resturant. I will be turning 36 this July 3rd. I haven't yet decided where I want to eat yet lol. We also have cake and stuff at home. It is pretty much a familyonly affair. We also include a close friend in our tradition. My daughter usually has friends over and goes to the movies and mall with her friends. We are past the cutesie kids parties with her as she will be 17 this july 14th.

Yeah it is coming soon. Growing up my birthday sucked cause everyone was out of town on vacation for the 4th. Now I don't mind it. It was the fireworks that brought me into this world lol. My grandfather and brothers were shooting off rockets and one broke the neighbors glass in their picture window and my mom went into labor which was fine with her since I was a month late.

My birthday is Oct 22. This year I'll be 26. I usually have dinner with my family or my boyfriend takes me out for dinner. Then we usually go out with friends to either a bar or club to celebrate. Sometimes I like to go shopping on my birthday or I just like to relax and enjoy the day.
