(Wait, is it redundant to title a post "Me me me" on a blog that is all about me me me? Yes, I think it is.)
I'm 35 today, Happy Birthday to me. Those round numbers always come as a bit of a shock, don't they? I mean, wasn't I just in college? Didn't I turn 30 a week ago Thursday? My mom keeps asking me how she can have a 35 year old child, and I keep telling her that I am only going to explain the birds and the bees thing one more time because honestly she has four grandchildren and it is time she understood these things.
But you know what, 35 sounds good to me. I think I'm going to like it.

You amaze me, enlighten me, and dunno if it is pathetic or quite sad but I consider you a friend even though I just read your blog. I hope and pray you have a WONDERFUL, awesome day!! Happy Birthday!

So funny, I think 35 sounds like you've made it. I think you, my friend, are a grownup.
Happy Birthday Beth! I hope Chris and the kids spoil you rotten......GROWNUP.

Happy birthday! I'm 32 on Monday which i find a little odd as I always think of my mum as being 32.

I'm a few months behind you, Mrs. Fish. I'm taking myself & the kids to Ireland for this one! It's a CELEBRATION!!!!
I'm not a big beer drinker, but for that - I will raise a Guinness in honor of the Cactus-Fish family. :)

Happy birthday Beth :) I turned 32 this year and I still feel like a 5 year old playing dress up hehe Anyway, my mum won't allow me to call myself old because she says since she gave birth to me, that'd make her really ancient lol!

I think you will wear 35 extraordinarily well. Happy Birthday!

I like round numbered birthdays because they're easier to remember. I'm constantly second-guessing myself about my age and have to do the math to figure it out. I refuse to believe that marks me as declining.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! (My mom asks me how she can have a __-year-old daughter every year on my birthday too! You'd think she of all people would know.)

Happy 35 Birthday! I hit 34 on Tuesday so it will be kind of ho-hum for me but I'm with you round numbers are nice. 35 will be great!!
Posted by Michelle | November 14, 2009 10:05 PM
Oh, I hope your day was awesome and that you were made to feel special today!

Happy Birthday! I turned 37 in October and I could swear that it's only been a few years since I graduated from high school rather than nearly 20. I hope you had a great day and that Chris, Mia & Owen spoiled you silly.

Happy Belated Birthday!! I hope you had a fabulous day!!
Posted by Krush | November 15, 2009 8:27 PM
Sending you wishes for a very happy year!
I'll be 29 in a month, but for some reason, the thought of being that age is hitting me harder than if I'd just turn 30 a year early! So maybe round numbers are more settling. :)
