32

29 December 2008 138 views 9 Comments

This photo was taken 29 years ago.  I turned three years old and got a delicious cake made from a box (yellow cake, chocolate frosting – still a favorite!), a faux fur coat and a musical teddy bear.  (My mom gave all three of us the same haircut for many years, until that one time I got hold of some craft scissors.)  Three was among the great birthdays of my life and while 32 isn’t mind-blowing – I didn’t get my driver’s license (16) or throw up on my sister’s face at a bar (21) – I did get to spend it with the people I love the most.  Also, I got a stove top smoker from my beautiful and loving wife, awesome gifts from my sister, brother-in-law and parents, a message from my friend Carrie, delivered by her 10 year old son, holiday cookies baked by Leah at daily piglet and delivered by UPS, and a voice mail from my heterosexual walking life partner, Dana, which included a song made from scratch by the joy in her heart.  Also, I didn’t get shot.  Today was a good day.

    Hot DAMN you are so cute in that picture. For the record, I too had yellow cake with chocolate frosting this year. I never actually heard what Birthday Greetings E left for you on my behalf, so if he told you to kiss off or anything like that I’m sorry. Hopefully it was full of the well wishes that were meant to go your way. LOVE YOU LADY!!!
