Even though I had a few cake opportunities (red velvet at school, a birthday cookie from a student, cupcakes at my parents) , I didn't get to make a birthday wish. I thought I could light a candle and blow it out, but wondered if that really counted if the candle wasn't in a cake or if nobody sang "happy birthday" to me before I blew out the candle. Jill said that she sang to me on facebook and that the things didn't all have to happen together. As I was looking for something to stick the birthday candle in to hold it up while I blew it out, I started to think how ridiculous I was being, so of course I needed to document my ridiculousness. I gave Joey the camera, stuck the candle in a red raspberry and blew out the flame. Well, of course I didn't like the angle of the picture, so we tried again. I didn't like that one either, or the next one, or the next two. Joey was getting sick of taking pictures so we quit. (This is the best photo cropped to within an inch-at least you can see the raspberry candle.) Then I realized that I never had made the darn wish. I started to make a wish without the candle, but realized that I really don't need to wish for anything. I have the greatest friends and family in the world. Thanks to all of you who saw me and remembered my birthday (not that I would let you forget), called with good wishes, sent cards and/or sent messages via Facebook and email. I couldn't wish for anything better than those of you who are in my life!
