Happy birthday to him. And to me.

March 6, 2015

Happy birthday to him. And to me.

cathyzielske.com
That fine young cowboy you see above? Today he turns 50. And that girl who could have been Lori Patridge’s kid sister? She turns 49 on Sunday. (Yes, from now on I will only speak of myself in the third person.)

You know I’m not shy about my birthday, right? I feel like every year I’m here is just about the greatest thing ever, regardless of what joy or pain or mediocrity finds it’s way in on any given day.

Getting to live this life is pretty much the ultimate shit.

Dan was in first grade. I was in Kindergarten. What a pair we make indeed.

Happy birthday, baby. It’s a lot of work, but I like work. My therapist says it’s actually one of my strengths.

    Happy birthday to you, my sweet friend! And to Dan too! I think it’s so funny that we both have Dan’s, with b-days just 2 and 3 days apart from us, we’re the same age, and we both used to roller skate to music and could do an ‘axel’ (okay, so mine was really just a 360). 😉

    Have a wonderful birthday weekend to you both!

    I’ve always thought Cole took after you, but there Dan is. Looking so much like Cole at that age! Best wishes to you both.

    Happy birthday you crazy kids! I’d say go kick up your heels and enjoy it like you were half that age, but I think you already got that out of the way. 😉 So instead, have the kids make dinner, eat a piece of cake, drink a glass of wine, relax, and enjoy the weekend!

    Happy Birthday! Shamelessly plug your own birthday. Once your parents stop throwing your parties, they’re a lot less fun!

    I’m totally on-board with gratitude for another year on this spinning globe. I’ve never understood those who piss and moan about their birthdays – seriously, would you prefer the alternative?

    Happy birthday, CZ! Sorry I missed it, just catching up on the awesome stories on your blog after being away for a few days and then immersed in family life! I hope you had a fab day, and DZ did, too. With a little craziness but not as much as the “interesting” story you shared the other week 😉
    Love and hugs from the UK! xxx
