My Day
On this day in history:

Helen Keller + Anne Sullivan = inspirational history in the making!
And, oh yeah, I was also born on this day. Twenty seven years ago, just shortly after what must have been a very inspiring episode of The Price is Right, I started doing what my dad loves to describe as a "boogaloo" in Mom's belly and, at 1:32pm, Soul Train'd my way into this world.
My birthday, much like this past Christmas and Valentine's Day a few weeks ago, wasn't exactly on my radar for whatever reason. It's like I knew it was coming up and I felt pretty meh about it. Normally, I'm SO excited about March31 Days of Tica. And I have been observing it since Saturday. But the normal enthusiasm and excitedness about this being MY day isn't there for me right now. I feel like I'm just going through the motions. Like sex by the numbers. Okay, I'm supposed to act excited now because I'm supposed to be excited now according to the script? Okay. And it's weird because it's like there's this huge chunk of who I am that's just...MIA. Case in point: conversation with Nito last night -
Nito: Are you excited about tomorrow?
Me: Yeah, I guess. Yay Monday? I'm really not looking forward to work...
Nito: [cutting me off in the middle of what i was about to say] Um..your birthday?
Me: Wait...is that tomorrow?!?!?
I want to be really jazzed and 'feel good' about it being my birthday. At least the weather is gorgeous. But in my heart, unfortunately, I feel sad and lonely and I don't really know why. I hope I snap out of this before the day is over.
Happy Birthday to Me,
