Meh. Happy birthday to me.
I can’t say I’m excited about my birthday this year. Mostly because, well, getting older sucks. Though I do admit I don’t mind being in my 30s (upper 30s for those of you keeping score at home). It’s way better than being in my 20s, which really sucked (okay 25 was a good year but 35 was better).
So anyway, it’s my birthday and I’ll cry if I want to. Today the Man is taking me to lunch and dinner (I’m spoiled, what can I say?). He never fails in the gift department either so I’m sure I’ll be getting something awesome. He keeps trying to tell me or goad me into WANTING to know but I’m strong. 😉 Actually, I really don’t care what I get for my birthday as long as I have my favorite people with me for the day (Kid and Man).
I’ve noticed I’ve been having some serious motivational issues lately. I think partly because I need a change. I’ve been trying to think of things I can change without causing bankruptcy *grin* and so far I haven’t come up with anything. At least, nothing that I can implement in the next, oh, two days. 😛
But then again, I go through this every year. This antsy feeling that life is getting away from me and if I don’t hurry up I’ll miss out on something.
Oh, incidentally, I heard through the grapevine a writer got an agent (not really news but…) her book is about a gladiator. It makes me want to weep with frustration. Mostly because everyone knows gladiators are my thing. 
That Antsy feeling is completely normal. I think once we get past 35 we start to “assess” things every time a birthday comes around. Which is completely laughable because we truly have a Looooooong way to go before we’re truly “old.” (I’d say, around age 95, then we can sit and look at each other and say (not very well because we’ll have no teeth) “Wow, we’re officially OLD!”)
Happy Birthday, sweetie. Enjoy it!
Happy Birthday! Woo-hoo.
Maybe gladiators are the next trend, and you’re just on the crest of the wave!
Happy birthday, Michelle!!
Eat, drink, and enjoy your day. If it makes you feel any better. I far preferred my 40s.

We can always use more than one gladiator story.
Happy Birthday, Michelle! Many hugs to you! 😎
I believe that Elena and Cassius are going to have their time in the sun.
Have a happy, wonderful, fantastic birthday! And don’t give up on the gladiators! They will get their time in the publishing arena!
Aren’t gladiators the new vampires? Your time has arrived! And yes, birthdays are for assessing and planning. If you don’t feel an itch, you’re not alive!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
