    Happy birthday.

    Waking up to how insignificant our parent's cult was takes some getting used to.

    I hope you enjoyed your day. Plan to make next year's a real rip snorter.

    Cheers

    Awww that's so cool! Yeah I remember celebrating my birthday for the first time! It was last year and the same thing happened to me. People at work got word about my birthday and never having one but wanting to celebrate it and they got me a cake too! :) I was kinda nervious but excited and happy.

    Again Happy Birthday!!

    Two years ago my job took me out for my birthday (as we do each year for everyone's birthday). My boss remembered me telling him once on conversation that I had never been sung "Happy Birthday". So, all of a sudden the restaurant staff came out singing. I loved it. It took 33 years..LOL

    Same here doublelife, it was my 57th birthday on Tuesday. Not celebrated for 50 years.

    Didn't DO anything really, but for the first time ever I took some lovely chocolate cakes to work. It felt a bit weird but I enjoyed the extra attention!

    Not having to defend the ridiculous WT birthday dogma was such a relief.

    Well hey, happy birthday coming up. If we remember, we'll say it again on the 28th.

    My dad and his wife have sent me a gift on my birthday for two years running now. It was so awesome, the gift could have been a box of rocks and I would have loved it the first time.

    This past birthday, they sang the song and had cake at work.

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

    sabastious: Yeah, I know there are a lot of adults who don't celebrate their b-days. It's minor, like you said. But it's definitely nice to have the freedom to make that decision for myself instead of it being made for me.

    whereami: Lol.

    jamiebowers: Aw, thank you. And I hope my bf does something too. Last night, he could tell that I was excited about having my cake at work.

    Heartofaboy: Happy Birthday to you too!

    OTWO: I know what you mean. Whoever gives me my first b-day present will be the one I'll always remember and hold special, no matter how boring the present itself may be.
