november was my birthday month
i really made the most of it
celebrating at every opportunity as it presented itself
meeting up with family and friends and committees
indulging in treats and meals and tastes of all kinds
special surprise desserts from special people
offers from community businesses
yes, I happily welcomed them all
cakes, pie, breakfast, mexican lunch, coffee,
beverages, bread, ice cream, chocolate…
my birthday month knew no bounds
ah, those were the days
now it’s december
it’s cold
there’s snow
it’s not
my birthday month
time to pay the piper
why don’t the community businesses
offer free after-birthday
gym memberships, personal trainer, black coffee, online workouts?

Oh I love that you have a birthday month. Mine comes on a UK “bank holiday” weekend so I generally take the whole weekend as my birthday, and might stretch to a week but a month. Now I like that

I have a ‘birthday week’ in March. I won’t be eating my cake like that baby did, but secretly wish I could.

True story: When my grandson (whom I nicknamed “Peanut” when he was little) had his first birthday, his mother baked him a chocolate cake just like that, and the little guy was so excited he dove into it face first… and became a chocolate-covered Peanut.

I love the photo which reminds me of a large gathering at our oldest son’s first birthday in 1976. He did the faceplant and grabbed handfuls of cake on the side. It was a huge crowd pleaser because no one remembered seeing anyone do that. Luckily it was well photographed because it was the photo moment when you get a picture of the baby with his first birthday cake.
