To many the date May 19th sounds like just any other date. For me, a different story. May 19th has a sort of ring to it … the ring of a date that means something. When I hear the date said … on the radio … in conversation … my ears perk up. The date means something.
When I was little the date meant something fun. Something exciting. Now … well, when May 19th approaches so does a sense of dread. A sense of bewilderment. I think, “How on earth can I possibly be that old?” I hope maybe somehow the calendar isn’t telling the truth. It can’t really be May 19, 2006. I can’t really be that old. Can I?
My father-in-law and mother-in-law called me at the crack of dawn to wish me a happy birthday. My father-in-law asked me “how does it feel to be 30?”
I answered honestly … “I can’t remember.”
None-the-less, it was a great way to start the day. A birthday wish from my father-in-law. He told me he thinks a lot of me. That made my day. (Not even three new pair of birthday shoes can beat that — ooops, I mean four, but still, it doesn’t beat that.)
I hope your May 19th was happy …
Well happy birthday!..mine is tomorrow (the 20th)
I am just a few years older than you, and let me tell ya, 30’s are great!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!!! Hope you had a graet day. Mine is on the 23rd.
Happy Birthday one day late!!!

Hope you had a great birthday, Aby!!
Happy Birthday! Hope it was a great day!
Happy Birthday Aby. 🙂
I am soo sorry that these are late wishes, but happy birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday, Aby! I’m sure you’ve heard it all, associated with turning 30. All I will tell you is that you are entering a new decade where it only gets better!

Just wanted to say that you’ve got your “birthday poker” rules correct…a wish from a loved one does beat three of a kind shoes. Now, a straight flush of shoes (let’s say a Via Spiga, Stuart Weitzman, Kors, Beverly Feldman, and a Michelle K), THAT would be a close call, but I think the birthday poker rules still come out in favor of loved-one’s wishes! Happy b-day from someone who has already celebrated the 13th anniversary of her 25th birthday. Yikes!
I’m trying to organize and stumbled across your blog. We have the same birthday! It’s less than a month away!
