Happy Birthday to Me

Today is my birthday. I turned 30. Not really what you want, but hey it happens. I'm not really doing anything different today then normal. After work, I'll go home, hopefully complete my chair (yeah, sadly I was sick yesterday and went to bed quite early), my sister will make a chocolate peanut butter cake for me (which is delicious by the way) and I'll watch TV until I go to sleep. Yay, birthday!


Here are some of the things have happened on June 22 throughout history:

1633 Galileo was forced to recant Earth orbits Sun by Pope (but on Oct 31, 1992, Vatican admits it was wrong)

1812 Napoleon's Grand Army invades Russia

1847 Doughnut created (THAT explains it!)

1969 Singer-actress Judy Garland died.

1987 Actor-dancer-singer Fred Astaire died.

1990 Florida passes a law prohibits wearing a throng bathing suit (Thank GOD, some people DO NOT need to wear thong bathing suits. But hey, let me pull mine out of the closet!)

I share a birthday with:

1949 Meryl Streep, actress (Sophie's Choice, Kramer vs. Kramer, Silkwood, It's Complicated)

1953 Cyndi Lauper, singer (Girls Just Want To Have Fun)

1964 Dan Brown, American author

Happy birthday you guys!

So all in all, nothing major (Except the donut!) has ever happened on my birthday and I guess that's a good thing, can you imagine trying to share your birthday with like, the discovery of America or Christmas? Go figure. Anyway, hope everyone has a good day.

So how does it feel to have someone communicate with you via comments on a website? :-)

Did you have a good birthday? Did it help to know one person was thinking about you? ;-)

It is odd I do have to say but whatever. lol. :) Do we know one another Mr. Anonymous?

My birthday was ok. My sister made me a cake and we celebrated by watching Cupcake Wars and deciding what fabric to use on my refurbished chair. :)

We used to know each other, about a year and a half ago, but only online :-P

Sounds like an interesting birthday, better than mine.

I'm sorry your birthday wasn't good. We did? Where are you from?
