Yesterday was my 33rd birthday and although it started out rather tenuously (oh, hi cat barf), it picked up some steam with cards and lunch with a friend and dinner with my husband and video birthday greetings from the cutest sibling spawn there ever was.
Happy Birthday from Penny, age 1 year, 9 months
Happy Birthday from Owen, age 2 years, 9 months
And since my birthday was marked erroneously on the office calendar, we’re celebrating today, too. A birthday extension! Which, aside from increased cake consumption and revelry, might give my own parents some extra time to, you know, actually acknowledge it. Here’s to Thirty-three! The year of managed expectations!
Cute videos! & Happy Birthday!! =)
Happy birthday!
If it’s any consolation, you’re not alone. My dad regularly forgets my birthday, despite the fact that it is also his brother’s birthday. It’s a good thing when we grow up, we get to create out own family!
Happy, happy birthday to youuuu! Glad you’re having a well-deserved extension! How nice to say you celebrated with your *husband*. That put a smile on my face–hope it did for you, too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Best birthday greetings ever!
Managed expectations. Yes. After 35 comes few expectations, then at 40 you throw all expectations out the window and just please yourself. It’s a tradeoff for the sagging ass.
My mother never remembers mine either. Thankfully, my dad over-remembers and won’t leave me alone for days.
Happy Birthday, dear!
Happy Birthday!
Enjoy your extended celebrations!
Happy Birthday!!! Here’s hoping 33 is a fantastic year for you!!
And definitely poke your parents for forgetting – my husband forgot mine last year (and not for the first time) and I was so sad that I hardly even gave him “the look” … but it is what you make it, so make it a great year! This year I’m not waiting for hubby, I’m going on a girls trip and thumbing my nose at him!
Happy Birthday! I always celebrate mine with a whole princess birthday week. Enjoy the extra celebrating.
Happy happy Birthday Heather! Heh those sister spawns of yours are freakin cute.. and look so much like you! Those are some strong face genes in your family
Happy birthday! Enjoy some extra celebration today!
Happy birthday Heather! Enjoy the extra day of celebrating and eat a piece of cake for me.
Happy (extended) birthday!
Happy 33rd! My Great Uncle Rudy used to celebrate the week before, the week of, and the week after. It was a long running family joke that many of us have adopted…
Happy Birthday! Hope it’s a fabulous year for you!
Happy Extended Birthday!
I personally believe in birthday weeks after 30 and birthday months after 50. I like excuses to celebrate!
happy extended birthday!
and i think managing our expectations is actually the key to finding REAL happiness anyway.
I agree… will have to try it myself…
Happy Birthday! I have a friend who celebrates her “birthday month,” a practice which I am seriously considering adopting myself, so I don’t think a 2-day celebration is overkill. In fact, you should celebrate into the weekend!
Happy Birthday! I agree – you should massively celebrate for an entire week or more. I make sure to plan myself a happy hour every year and buy myself a lovely gift.
However, it royally sucks that your parents don’t acknowledge it. I cannot even comprehend this. You deserve better. I’m so glad your sister gets it. The kids’ greetings were adorable.
What’s going to happen now is that with YOUR children’s birthdays, you will have huge lavish parties with tons of presents and lots of hoopla – and you will never, ever forget their birthday, no matter how old you may be. And they will hopefully do the same…
so much cuteness! happy birthday!
Happiest of birthdays to you, Heather!
Happy day to you, yesterday, on the day of your birth. Happy day to you today, on your extended birthday!
Happy Birthday to you Heather!!Enjoy!
Happy Birthday! I remember 33 being a great year. Hope it is for you too!
Happy Birthday!! My parents forgot my birthday the year I got married as well…almost 9 years of wedded bless now! Hope Sir Hal is doing better.
Happy happy birthday! I think birthdays are a huge deal and should be celebrated for multiple days (not necessarily consecutive)
Happy birthday! My Dad forgot his own birthday one year, so he’s allowed to forget anyone else’s
My birthday was 12 days ago…and while my parents remembered…my husband did not…and it made me really sad…I’m glad that your husband remembered your birthday
Hope you had a great birthday and really enjoyed yourself the last few days…
Wow, not only the same day as my boyfriend but the same age too, he’s your Birthday twin! Happy Belated Birthday Heather.
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday Heather!Wish you all the best!
Happy belated extended birthday! I will be nice and not say what is the mathematical meaning of four months from now. Anyhoo, here is some useful birthday trivia for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/july_19
What, that 11202011 is not quite a palindrome?
So you didn’t grow up with phonograph records?
BTW did I get your birthday right? I presumed from your post that it’s July 19. Is it really the 20th?
It is the 19th.
Happy Belated Birthday! Hope it was great and this is the best year yet. =)
Happy Belated! Those babies are so stinkin cute!!
Happy belated Birthday Heather, you fabulous Cancer you! =)
My bday was Sunday, the big 3-4, which I dreaded..but it’s turning out to be pretty good…I celebrate for days sometimes a month because as long as friends & family keep telling me happy bday and/or want to take me out then it’s still my bday..>So Enjoy the attention, you deserve it!
Best wishes for only good things in your 33rd year!
Happy birthday to you, Heather. My birthday is the 20th – and my first gift was some cat hork, too! Wheeeee! =)
Happy birthday!!!!!!!
Happy belated birthday! I hope 33 is a wonderful year!
Are you used to calling Chris your “husband,” yet?
Happy Birthday! Have a great year!
Happy belated birthday! I hope you have a wonderful year!
- From someone who shares your birthday, but just celebrated her 29th.
Happy birthday, Heather! LOVE the videos – those little rascals sure are cute!!
Happy Barfday!?!
Happy Birthday (belatedly!)
Happy Birthday!!! Hope it was a good one despite the barf!
Happy birthday, Heather! I think as we get older our birthday celebrations get longer too. Hope you enjoy all the cake!
Happy belated birthday! I hope it was wonderful.
