Man that was a shameless plug, wasn’t it?! Well, it’s true – today is my 45th birthday. When you have a birthday anywhere near Christmas, you learn pretty early on to shamelessly plug your big day as often as you can and to anyone who will listen. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to eat which are happy to celebrate your birthday with you in the form of a discount. Why wouldn’t you want to get some free stuff on your big day??
Since this is my big day, I’m going to write whatever I want to and in the end, you’re going to leave me a Happy Birthday comment. Yeah. That’s what’s going to happen. I’ve also heard that you can custom your own bobbleheads and I’m really hoping someone does one for me this year!
See what I mean?? We Christmas babies are pretty obnoxious.
I thought about telling you 45 things about me, but I really have no interest in boring you to tears so I’m going to start typing until either I get bored or I run out of interesting things to say.

I was just saying to a friend of mine last night that we would be two old ladies getting tattoos together! I for one can’t wait to see your new ink. If we lived a little closer to each other, I would totally go with you!
Happy birthday. xo
