Happy 62nd to Me

First Published 11 Jan 2012

Yeppers,

today is THE BIG DAY!

61  62 years ago today

moi was born.

Or,

I suppose I could say,

today is the 60th 61st anniversary of

my 1st birthday party!

When I looked at the picture

of Lee (4 years, 1 month, 6 days older) and I,

I noticed that Mom had her good dishes out.

Makes me smile

that she did it for my 1st birthday . . .

and it didn't make

a diddly-squat matter to me.

Shoot,

I probably wondered what was going on!

Every year,

when I wake up,

I sing two songs . . . normally to myself.

1st: Today is a Day That is Filled With Surprises

which was the song that Jimmy sang

on the old,

and I mean OLD, as in original,

Mickey Mouse Club

Anything Can Happen Day.

No, I don't sing ALL of it,

just the beginning, "Today is a day that is filled with surprises."

Then, ALL DAY,

this is the melody I have running around in my brain.

2nd: The Beatles Birthday Song

Wanna Sing it with me today?

If you don't know the words

they are below the video.

You say it's your birthday

It's my birthday too--yeah

They say it's your birthday

We're gonna have a good time

I'm glad it's your birthday

Happy birthday to you.

Yes we're going to a party party

Yes we're going to a party party

Yes we're going to a party party.

I would like you to dance--Birthday

Take a cha-cha-cha-chance-Birthday

I would like you to dance--Birthday

Dance

You say it's your birthday

Well it's my birthday too--yeah

You say it's your birthday

We're gonna have a good time

I'm glad it's your birthday

Happy birthday to you.

Saturday morning I woke up

and said to my hubby,

"Husband, in 3 more days I will be

6 months away from applying for Social Security."

LOLOL . . .

what a funny way to look at my birthday.

So, I guess this is the

NEXT to the BIG ONE!

Today I woke up and wondered,
"Will my 1st Social Security check
make it to the bank in March?"
I guess this makes this birthday the
BIG ONE.
That is, one of the BIG ONES . . 
it follows 16th, 25th, 50th, 60th.

See, the government already has my picture
with my 1st check in hand.

 Next year, This year, I shall become wealthy . . .

thank you US govt. and

the Social Security Administration.

ROFLMFAO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Now,

go eat

 ice cream

 and

cake

for me.

With my luck,

the hubby will forget to make the required

boxed Angel Food cake today!

He made it yesterday . . . 
I guess my  making it for myself last year
bothered him.
Personally, I think it's funny . . . 
didn't bother me at all.

But, if I'm lucky,

I can still find some peppermint ice cream,

the other required element,

for a perfect day!
Found Edy's Limited Edition
Peppermint Ice Cream
over Christmas Vacation.
Bought it put it in the freezer for today :)


Oh, I forgot to tell you.
One year on Mother's Day,
Mom gave me a pair of Garnet Stud earrings.
When I asked her why, her response was,
"Without you and Lee, I wouldn't be a Mother."

Now,
how cool was that?
