Another year older and deeper in debt (to NA)!!!

My birthday is today. Nobody seems to have remembered and my Mom is out of town. Maybe they are saving the celebration for when I get home from work??? Oh well, if they don't remember at my house, I guess I'll get myself something little to celebrate.

KJ

I love buying myself little treats on my special day - I hope you do the same. Treat yourself to a pedicure or massage?
Happy, happy birthday. I'm so glad you are here with your SR family to celebrate.

KJ! I agree with Rowan!

Go get yourself something nice! I also enjoy doing that! At Christmas I buy one gift for
someone then one for me, another gift for someone then one for me!

So why not on do the same on your Birthday?!

Treat yourself to a nice pedi and manicure! Sounds awesome!

Try to enjoy your day-SR is blessed for this day!

Well, since I wrote that, I have had a call from my daughter, and she has presents and a special dessert (chocolate mousse) ready at the house. So I feel happy about that. And my sisters called to say that all of them are taking me out for cheese and chocolate fondue after that (a good sober option to going out for drinks, I thought. Something nice and different.) So I'm excited. Guess I'll make a meeting tomorrow instead. We have to have a life after all. Thanks to eveyone who gave me a lovely Birthday wish!

As one of your Sister's in Recovery, I apologize for not being available for fondue. However, I did want to make sure you had at least ONE balloon!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Love Ya!
Judy

Happy happy birthday!! Just because folsk remembered, doesn't mean you still can't do something special for yourself!! Make it a birthday week, okay?
