TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY AND I HAD A GREAT DAY. MY FRIEND KIM CALLED ME THIS MORNING TO WISH ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY THEN I WENT TO WORK AND LATER HAD A FUN LUNCH WITH MY WORK BUDDIES. WHEN I GOT HOME I OPENED A CARD FROM MY SISTER, LAURA THAT MADE ME LAUGH...IT PLAYED "BRICK HOUSE". ONLY SHE WOULD DO THAT. MY SISTER GOLDIE AND PARENTS HAD ALREADY SENT ME SWEET CARDS. THEY ARE SO GOOD AT REMEMBERING BIRTHDAYS AND MAKING PEOPLE FEEL SPECIAL. I HAD MESSAGES FROM MY SISTER TERESA AND MY MOM AND DAD WISHING ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I HOPE PEOPLE KNOW HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME WHEN THEY JUST TAKE THE TIME TO LEAVE ME A MESSAGE OR SEND A CARD TO LET ME KNOW THEY WERE THINKING ABOUT ME. ESPECIALLY MY SISTERS THAT ARE FAR AWAY AND I MISS SOOOO MUCH. THE BOYS GAVE ME CANDY FOR MY BIRTHDAY...THEN THEY ATE IT FOR ME... AND WE HAD CAKE AND ICE CREAM. IT WAS JUST A REGULAR DAY...BUT I LOVE MY REGULAR DAYS! I LOVE THE LIFE I HAVE WITH MY FAMILY, EVEN IF I AM A YEAR OLDER.
