OCTOBER 5, 1967<\/p>\n
Ate and slept. Met a LOT of new people!<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1971<\/p>\n
Went to the circus. Hated it. Left early. Returned home to enjoy circus-themed birthday cake.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1973<\/p>\n
Got red bicycle for my birthday. With streamers on the handlebars. Zoomed down sidewalk.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1976<\/p>\n
Caught up in frenzy of nation\u0092s bi-centennial. Put my own celebration on back burner to honor America.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1980<\/p>\n
Began teen years. If memory serves me right, Dad took me to dinner at fancy restaurant on top of INB building downtown Indianapolis. I believe I had some lobster bisque. Found out family moving to California. <\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1983<\/p>\n
Got drivers license. Tried to hide embarrassment that Dad fell asleep in DMV while I was taking the test. Arms very sore from practicing parallel parking all weekend in car without power steering. Found out parallel parking not on the test. Likely took Autoclave out for a spin that evening.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1985<\/p>\n
Celebrated at college. Don\u0092t remember details; imagine pizza and beer involved.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1988<\/p>\n
Celebrated 21st birthday. Positive it was the first time I even tried to order a drink in a bar or restaurant because I looked so young I never dared try a fake id. Many Westwood bartenders and bouncers doubted me that evening. Pictures assure me I looked cute. <\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1991<\/p>\n
First birthday out on my own. Friend turned celebration into week long affair. I don\u0092t remember the names of all the places we hit that week in Terre Haute. Fairly certain at least one night involved drinking bloody brains at Molly\u0092s.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1995<\/p>\n
First birthday celebrated with Bill. He bought me ski boots I never wore.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 1997<\/p>\n
Spent my 30th birthday as a newlywed on the verge of moving to North Carolina. Cried because none of my friends remembered it. Maybe they were just tired of celebrating every other thing under the sun with me that year.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 2003<\/p>\n
Spent my birthday as a new mom.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 2006<\/p>\n
Still jet-lagged and dazed, I spent my 39th birthday chasing Kaitlyn around the Orange store
\n(mobile provider in France). It was not pleasant. Bill got me the LG Chocolat phone. Slept on rental bed in new house. Probably ate spaghetti because it was the only thing I could figure out to cook at that point.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 2008<\/p>\n
Met friends in Paris and spent my birthday eating in the Eiffel Tower, shopping in Parisian boutiques and strolling along the Seine. Missed my family terribly.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 2010<\/p>\n
First birthday spent in Peoria. Celebrated at home with Bill and Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn gave me a note she wrote me about how \u0093seet\u0094 I am. It\u0092s framed and hanging up where i can see it many times a day. It still makes me smile.<\/p>\n
OCTOBER 5, 2011
\nLounged around in bed watching Will and Grace reruns all morning. Put several cruises on hold for next summer. Just because. It needed done. Ate apple smothered in carmel and Reddi Whip for breakfast. Lunching with new friends in the neighborhood. Looking forward to lunching with old friend from France tomorrow. (Yes, I still like to drag out the celebrations!) Bought shrimp to make for dinner. May change mind and insist on take out. (Shrimp is frozen; it\u0092ll be fine till the weekend!) Have frozen pumpkin pie in freezer for dessert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
