    My birthday is a frikkin' holiday. We celebrate them hard-core in my household. We take the day off work and school and spend the day doing whatever the birthday person wants to do. From the breakfast we eat in the morning to the activities we do all day, to the flavor of ice cream that gets served with the cake. It is all about the birthday person. But we do it for everyone so we each get a special day.

    When I first met my hubby, he thought birthdays were a waste of time. Guess what his favorite day of the year is now? :)

    When I turned 50 I was in shock when I saw the "5-0" candles on the cake... but I always celebrate the thrill of my special day with friends and family

    I am making a big deal out of it this year and taking a long weekend. No one knows when my birthday is as I don't tell.

    I make a big deal about it inside my own mind by spending a lot more money on myself than I usually would. My mom and I usually go out for a steak and that's plenty of celebratin' for me.

    Honestly, I think adults that talk about their own birthday a lot seem obnoxious. Like people who post how many days it is from now on Facebook. I'm just like, get a freaking grip.

    the way I feel about every day (not just my birthday) but every day I wake up is a great day... look at the alternative, not being able to enjoy the day and appreciate everything and everyone around us....

    When we get to a certain age in life and our parents are getting older as well, it does put things into perspective and without sounding cliche, you can't take anything forgranted... birthdays are a celebration of your life just as everyone should celebrate the birthdays of everyone they love
