For the Love of My Birthday

Reasons Why My Birthday Is Better Than Yours:

1.)  Everything is Pink and Purple and heart-a-licious in February

2.)  I can get heart shaped candy boxes and the candy selection in general is much better than any other time of the year except for possibly October.

3.)  I look forward to turning another year older so there is a reason to celebrate.

4.)  The air smells better this time of year than any other time.  It smells new and I know you know what I mean.

5.)  Everyone is happier once February rolls around.  The entire mood of any group of people changes in February; it's refreshing!

6.)  Spring is a month away, always encouraging.

7.)  Everyone has to do what I say because it's my birthday.... all month long!

8.)  The seeds and garden stuff come out in Target during February.

9.)  Speaking of Target,  the Global Bazaar always hits the end of January early February.  Trinkets are always fun to look at.

10.) Fertilizer, forced bulbs, dirt, and Orchids.... you know that smell in Home Depot's green house.

11.) People start wearing brighter colors for the impending spring-ness.  Totally better than black, brown or blue.  No offense to the Emos.

12.) The sunlight changes to a nice bright white/lemon yellow.

13.) The snow starts to melt and everything gets muddy... so much nicer than ten inches of dirty snow.  Even if I have to clean up muddy puppy prints all over my house.

14.) You can go outside with a thick sweatshirt on and not an official coat.

15.) You can finally have sunlight for more than 4 hours a day.

16.) I get to pick my cake.  Granted I have to make it but still, it's fun going down the cake aisle looking
at all the boxes, frostings and little candy decorations.

17.) I get to make sappy little poems about love and my birthday but mostly about me.

18.) I think of where I want to go for my birthday dinner months in advance.  This year I am debating over Indian or Steakhouse.  Still undecided as of yet.

19.) I get to make lists of all the things I want to do for my special day.  Lists are my favorite.

20.) It's about me and I'm super narcissistic during this month.  Deal with it.  :)
