canyonwalkerMy birthday was this week. Yay, another year older.
I've tended not to do much for my birthday the past... oh, 30+ years. I just don't care. One might say I take after my father in that regard. But it's at least as much because, when I was growing up, my birthday was often lost in the Christmas rush this time of year.
I didn't have a party or get presents. I didn't even buy myself a present this year. (Last year I bought an iPad.) All I did to make the day a little different than any other day was treat myself to a delicious, slower paced lunch at a casual restaurant I haven't been to in months. Then Hawk and I went out for dinner together at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. It's a place that we think of as treating ourselves nowadays, though in the past we used to eat there a few times a month.
Oh, but there will be a party. Hawk and I celebrate our joint birthday in early to mid January each year. We're looking at probably Jan 18, or possibly Jan 11, for that.
