*CAKE*

As my Mama will be quick to tell you, at this VERY moment (8:59am, May 12th) 24 years ago - she was wrapping up 2 hours of pushing a very LARGE head into this world. Nearly a quarter-century old. I never thought I'd make it past 18. And look at me. The ripe old age of 24. Still as plump as ever, with a gigantic head, chubby fists, and obstinate screaming from time-to-time. Just add a little caked on after-birth to my forehead, and you'd have the complete package.

Grossness.

So today is rather ho-hum for me after all the excitement that I have had thus far this week. Birthdays are a HUGE deal in my family. It's not just a birthDAY, it's a birthWEEK. And in such case that it is a MILESTONE birthday (i.e.16, 18, 21, 24) the festivities can span the course of an entire MONTH. And it's not about the gifts really. It's about the food. Cake. Eating out. Spending time with friends. Having Mom give me a play-by-play of the day that will live in INFAMY as the Big Giant Head made its first appearance on history's stage.

So, let there be cake. Let there be singing!!! And my gracious, PLEASE let there be fat-girl shuffling. Because no birthday is really complete without it.
