Tuesday, April 24, 2007Sharing My BirthdayIf I've got to share my birthday, I suppose it could be a lot worse than sharing it with Agent Jenny Rappaport's Blog, which turns one today. In honor of the day, Jenny is hosting a Sonnet Writing Contest. Pop on over to her blog to read my entry, along with all the others (some stiff competition there). And so today I celebrate the Nth anniversary of my thirtieth birthday. Eric took me out for breakfast this morning before work, which was absolutely the most wonderful, delightful, perfect thing he might've done. We ordered omelets. Mine had cheese, tomato, and mushrooms. Eric's had cheese, tomato, and ham. Halfway through our meal, we realized that we had each other's omelets. Guess the conversation was just that riveting. We swapped omelets, and I definitely got the short end of the stick. Eric eats faster than I do, so there was a lot less omelet on my plate after the swap. That's okay, though. I happen to know that he picked up a birthday cake for me last night at Wild Oats. It's hiding in the refrigerator. No, I haven't peeked. I can...feel it. It's chocolate. It calls to me when I pass through the kitchen. And now I've got to go do some ironing. "Don't do all that work today," Eric said. "It's your birthday. Don't do all that ironing." Pause. "Except my pants." Right. Happy birthday, where are my freshly pressed pants? Anyway, I suppose the breakfast makes up for it. I'm smiling, so I must be right. There's nothing quite like feeling utterly loved by the people who mean the most to you. I'd iron a hundred pairs of pants, just to have that feeling. No I wouldn't. But it did sound poetic while I was writing it. Labels: life, marriage, writing |

Hope your birthday is as wonderful as it's start was. I loved the "There's nothing quite like feeling utterly loved by the people who mean the most to you. I'd iron a hundred pairs of pants, just to have that feeling." So true. Well, the first part anyway. :)
Happy belated Birthday! How was the cake? I would hope you only did one pair of pants for him, you can save the rest for later.
Happy, happy Birthday Jill dear.
Happy days will come to you all year.
If I had one wish then it would be,
A Happy, Happy Birthday to you from me!
Happy Belated Birthday Jill. Hope the rest of your day was wonderful.
