Give Me Some Birthday Love

Well, it's my birthday—I don't mind tell you.  And I don't mind telling you that I turn 53 today.  Is it just me, or does everyone have a hard time remembering how old they are when they get to be my age.  I'm not talking about pretending you forget how old you are.  I seriously have a hard time remembering.  One time I was 46 for almost two years before my brother informed me that I was turning 48.  Wow!  That 47th year went by really fast.

This is a doodle that I originally created as a birthday greeting for my sister Becky a couple of years ago.  You can see the original using the link (if you like).  You'll have to scroll down to the bottom of the post.  I just changed the text and gave it some color.  I wanted something to post as my profile pic on my Facebook account, so I made the changes.  But I didn't want to miss the opportunity to share it with you too, so enjoy.

Make my day complete.  Give me some blog comment love.  I'll turn 53 a happy man.

I actually made myself a year older - 36 when actually I was 35 - it was a NICE feeling knowing I had an "extra" year to live through! ;o)

I don't forget my age, but I have lost track of two of kids ages and my husbands. Sad, just sad! I'm not nearly as OLD as you though, hehe.

Whoa, that doodle really captures you well.

Now, when do I get my piece of cake?!

Oh.....and have a good one from mornin' til night! Blessings!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE! You are right about remembering one's age .. I think once we hit 50 our brains stop calculating the years! It's a safety mechanism designed to protect our elderly selves from self destructing due to depression! lol

I have done that before. It's to lose track of the years as you get older. Happy Bday!!

You are a sick-attention-grabbing-old-man. But I love you!

Happy birthday to my older brother, Rick. And I give you permission to "share if you dare" my birthday picture from two years ago. How come you didn't color it for me?

:)
