That’s right I said it.
A lot of you know this, but I’m going to repeat myself every year for the rest of my Blog Life. June 26th is my half birthday!!!
My ACTUAL birthday is December 26th…but Jesus stole my thunder and Mom decided to move my birthday to JUNE 26th. My whole life I’ve gotten a nod and a raised eyebrow in December and a cake and balloons in June.
Fun right!?!
Celebrating in June meant people didn’t have to buy me extra presents, Mom wouldn’t have to worry about planning a party around Christmas time, and I wouldn’t get shafted by people who would give me one present for both occasions. Scrooges.
Things got sticky when my 16th and 21st and 30th birthdays came along because those are birthdays that you want to celebrate THAT day. So that’s we’ve done. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve managed to squeeze in TWO birthdays a year.
We celebrated my 30th six months ago and I had so much fun that I’m insisting my family come together for the SAME celebration in June. I think I’m going to keep this up every year just as an excuse to get everyone together and have a good time.
That being said it really does…with all due respect…I cannot BELIEVE Michael Jackson had to die the day before my birthday. Here we went and moved my birthday from being overshadowed by Jesus’s…and now. for the rest of my life. I will live in the shadow of Michael Jackson.
I have a serious case of Middle Child Jan Brady Syndrome and THIS is NOT helping.
Sigh.
What’s that old adage?? If you can’t beat em join em?
Here you go Michael. It’s all about you.
My biggest fear is that you will think I was serious in that video….please. Just don’t.

Can I just say I love how you moved your birthday away from Christmas?
Nice singing. While eating cereal.
Seriously. That’s a talent. :-)
You never ever seem to disappoint me. Im sitting her not feelin well, sipping on hot water, and terribly disappointed I couldnt make it to bloggy bootcamp. I know I should be writing a blog post but I just cant seem to get my butt moving. I happened to see your post about birthdays and here is where I ended up. Thank you for giving me a good laugh before I reside to tripping over a mountain of laundry before I hit the sheets. :)
