My birthday is in two weeks. It's my 21st birthday and so it is kind of a big thing. The funny thing is though, I am not a drinker and I really don't think I'll ever be big on the whole alcohol scene. I have had drinks before, but when others get silly or happy when they are buzzed, I tend to just get very sleepy--I hate being sleepy especially when I am supposed to be having fun. My parents do have some great wine at home though and I know I will be happy to partake of more than the four sips my dad will allow me now.
What I am most excited about, rather than the drinking, is just getting together with friends and family and celebrating life. I love laughing and sharing stories, I love good food and having an excuse to eat all the cake I want, and I love that my birthday is the beginning of my favorite part of the year, oh and the presents are always a plus ;).
Birthdays have always been amazing at the Curtis household. When I was five, I had a circus birthday. No, we did not go to the circus--we brought the circus to us. We had games and face painting, a jumpy house, pin the tail on the donkey, a homemade clown cake that my grandpa made from scratch, a popcorn and cotton candy stand, and hotdogs for lunch. Birthdays have always been big. I usually was allowed to make plans for a friend party and then for my family party I got to pick what we ate for dinner. So my point is birthdays hold a special place in my heart even now that I am turning 21.
Most kids, as they grow, get bored with birthday parties, cake, and singing "Happy Birthday," but I still love it just as much as I did when I wore my pretty flower dress and got my face painted at my circus birthday party almost 16 years ago.
Birthdays to me will always be a magical day when everyone wants to treat me nice, be my friend, play dollies--or whatever other game it has grown to be--, and sit next to me while I open presents.
So I am here to say that my birthday is in two weeks, Nov. 10 and you are all invited to join in the celebration--the more the merrier.
