Hallmark Birthdays ♥√♣

For my 16th birthday, my sister let me drive around the beltway.  We were heading to my Aunt’s house to celebrate my birthday, with her son (who is 2 years older and born a day earlier).  I was a wreck over driving on the Beltway.  But, I wasn’t gonna let my sister see that fear!  On my 18th birthday, I…..um……….  Actually…..  I can’t remember WTF I did on my 18th!  Most likely, it was dinner with the family.  For my 21st birthday, I put an ad in the college rag.  It said something like, “Celebrating my 21st and am inviting the entire school to my party.”  About 300 people showed up.  My wife (yes, I was married) and I left the party to find some pot.  We got stoned and then got lost somewhere in Silver Lake (Los Angeles).  We didn’t make it back to the party until about 3 hours later, but it was still going strong.  On my 25th, my boyfriend threw a surprise birthday party.  No one had ever done anything like that, for me, before.  I was floored and started crying; cuz I was so touched.  My 30th birthday was spent camping in Carlsbad, New Mexico with my boyfriend (yes, the same boyfriend, but we no longer lived together).  For my 35th birthday, I was in the middle of a cross-country trip with my boyfriend (yes, the same boyfriend).  That two-year trek, around the United States, almost killed our relationship.  Anyhow, now I’m 40.  It’s hard to believe that so many years have gone by.  Where did they go?  On this birthday, I’m doing nothing.  The most I may do is lounge around and watch movies with D.
