Today is my birthday.
I am now officially one year older.
I was going to let this year, this anniversary slide by with nary a thought, but someone had other ideas.
A certain someone named Shawn Burns, otherwise known as Backpacking Dad.
Shawn got it in his head that my birthday needed to be celebrated. So he wrote a very lovely post dedicated to me and paying tribute to the friendship I have so generously bestowed upon him this last year.
While I love the fact he obviously has nothing better to do with his time other than to write odes to random mommybloggers on their birthdays, I feel compelled to set the record straight.
I am not FORTY.
I am in fact, 33. A young 33.
I would also like to point out that I do not have six double chins as the picture he posted of me implies.
Just so y’all know.
Harumph.

Ah man, I’m 8 minutes past midnight, so now I have to offer a happy belated birthday! 40s great (well, so I’m told, I’m still in my 30s, like BackPackingDad!)

I am turning 40 in two weeks. I’m not looking forward to it at all. I am however happy to tell YOU happy birthday!

Hey! My fraternal twin boys have the same b’day! They turned 17 on the 27th! One of them has autism – the other wants to be a Finnish heavy metal rockstar and is growing long blonde hair as a first step. What ’til I tell him he has the same b’day as you – he will freak! (that’ll teach him to read posts over Mom’s shoulder!)

For the record – when he said 40, I thought “No WAY is she 40!” My first thought.
But that was pretty funny.

Happy birthday, mommy. I hope it’s a good one (we’re almost the same age).

Haha – you’re older than me!

Happy Birthday!
I wish I was 33, or 40 again for that matter.

For what it’s worth I’m glad he brought it to our attention that you had a birthday so we can all shower you with bloggy-luv. Hope all of your birthday wishes come true

I was 40 when I had my first child. What I wouldn’t give to be 33 again with the kind of energy I used to have.
And I will be 41 when the second one is born.
Keep up the blogging, I enjoy reading you.
And if you are going to flash your marvy hooters sometime, let me know.
Like Ron White says, if you have seen one womans breasts, you want to see them ALL!
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Tanis. That fella certainly has some balls adding 7 yrs on to your age, but fucking hilarious. Best wishes.

Happy birthday, Tanis. Mwah!

The 27th is my birthday too! I turned 26. And my car broke down. And I still had to wait tables all day. I think I’d rather be 40. At least I’d probably have a savings account. ugh.

Happy birthday!
