{ 10 birthday facts }

fact:
I LOVE birthdays

fact:
I celebrate allllllll month long. Not just one day.

fact:
i don't give a rip if I'm getting "older" anymore. Is this cause for concern as I have not even hit the over the hill mark? I don't think so :)

fact:
I know exactly what I want for my birthday and I'm not telling
( nah, it's not a job :)

fact:
I believe birthdays mark a time of reflection and newness for me so I like to make a special goal for each one. Last year when I hit the big -30- I secretly wished to be the best loving wife & friend to mister handsome. I still give him eskimo kisses & cook him peanut butter & jelly sandwiches :)

fact:
birthday cakes are non-caloric.

fact:
i don't like the sugary frosting, it's too gross. I prefer the soft fluffy light frosting :)

fact:
not really the roses type. i like dahlias, peonies and sunflowers.

fact:
balloons scare me.

fact:
i will have 31 candles on my cake and dang. it's gonna get hot. ( ironically i never eat the frosting on cakes that have had birthday candles blown out on them. Something about the germs flying all over the cake just makes me icky. i know. gross right? :P


I'd love to hear some birthday facts about you :)

Happy Birthday! My daughter will be 30 tomorrow and my brithday is next week. September is a good month.

My husband doesn't like anyone "Blowing" on cake either, but he's gotten better about it since we've had grandchildren.

Hooray! I always find excuses for things to be without calories...and I would argue that all yummy foods are non-caloric on your birthday!

Debee! Happy Happy Birthday!

Birthday Fact about me:

- I like to plan my own parties. They come out better that way.
- I like to make goodie bags for my guests, but when I was little, they used to make me cry.
- I like balloons and bubbles, but sometimes I get them confused and call them the wrong names!
- I hate clowns and never want one at my party!

Hope your special day (week, month) has everything you like rolled into one!

I love that photo. I, too am a Virgo. The 17th. And Emily is right- Virgo's ROCK!

My birthday facts-

I don't really like having a birthday party. Too much attention focused on me. Although the presents are nice.

I start telling my age for that year in January...even though it doesn't hit until September.

I love that I was born in a year ending in "0". And that my mom is 20 years older than me.

I will be getting a sunburn from my cake candles this year- the big 5-0!

Happy birthday month Debee!

Denise said...

Oh I love this post so much Debee!!
um birthdays MUST be celebrated for a whole month! My bestie Dee, who I always send lovelies to from your shop, is born ten days after me in the lovely month of may. we celebrate so much together our husband are quite sick of it by the end of May! Peonies or lilacs are my favorite birthday bouguet and balloons kind of scare me to although the bunch your carrying look pretty and harmless. have a blast birthday girl!

i turn 40 in February.
i am ready to own 40.
i love yellow cake & chocolate icing, especially if it has custard in between the layers.

Happy Happy Birthday...all month long.

Sandra said...

happy birthmonth to you, Deebee.
i love birthdays too. my own and others too. i love birthday cake and i don't like those number candles. yuck! although i don't know that we will be putting 49 candles on my cake this year. that could be a fire hazard. LOL
at this age, i don't mind that i'm getting older. i'm glad that i am. i hope you and mr. handsome have a super fun time celebrating your birthday month. (and i hope you get what you're wishing for)
love ya
