let her eat cake...

I have completely overlooked my birthday this year. Big inspections, deadlines, and adult life in general have all but killed the child-like bliss of a birthday this year.

Look, even my post to myself is a day late.

However, the thing I enjoy so much about a birthday is the spontaneous and heart felt wishes one receives on that day from so many places. I did receive these wonderful wishes this birthday and for that I am most grateful.

Birthdays are naturally a time to take stock of our lives and progress.

But, to hell with that! This year I just want to laugh:

When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.
- Mark Twain

You are only young once, but you can be immature for a lifetime.
- John P. Grier

Age is a number and mine is unlisted.

When I turned two I was really anxious, because I’d doubled my age in a year. I thought, if this keeps up, by the time I’m six I’ll be 90.” Steven Wright

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
- Abraham Lincoln

Another birthday come and gone, but my craving for chocolate birthday cake still lingers on. - D. Daisy
