"I do not feel that one day is an adequate amount of time in which to celebrate fully, so I begin the festivities when the month begins. So we are on the coutdown to November 18, when I will turn...27! It is sort of like Hannukah, but without the menorah. I would like to receive a present each of the 18 days. Sometimes, I accomplish this by purchasing my own gift, and I am fine with that. I'm not talking major giftage--just a gesture...some candy, a tasty beverage of some sort, a magazine. Then, on the big day (again, November 18,) we culminate and I release all restrictions on size and cost."
To kick things off, Kris and I worked up a little number for you. I hope you like it!

Let the birthday fun begin!
have i ever mentioned what a nut you are? a fun one but truly nutty, creative....good qualities, happy - b-day month, i might need to adopt that idea.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is this month, too! The 26th. I like your birthday philosophy - care to tell my husband?
ReplyDeletethanks, hil!
ReplyDeleteJenni--send your husband over this way and I'll fill him in for you :)
ReplyDeleteso is it 27 or 28
ReplyDelete28--I was quoting from last year's blog entry in the 2nd paragraph.
ReplyDeletedoes this month long celebration concept work for anniversaries too? (me + nate's anniversary is on your birthday... and this year will be our first!!) if so, i am thinking i definitely need to share this with the hubby.
ReplyDeletei also think our shared date is reason enough for you to get an extra gift. and i agree with hil... you are a nut. and nuts make the best bloggers! :)
Adrienne--yes, you should also be able to apply this to anneversaries. I just stick with b-day month because I'm already pressing my luck as it is.
