Well, to start off this was my first birthday without my father here so that in itself was enough to put me in my "poor me" attitude. So I'm at my mom's and my older brother walks in and kind of throws my card on the desk. Then everyone goes to sing and my brother says it was the most morbid sounding "Happy Birthday" he's ever heard. And then he says he hates birthdays... and holidays (he must have a "poor me" attitude too!). Then we have my favorite raspberry mousse pie and we all notice it tastes a little funny. We figured out it was the graham cracker crumbs. My mom goes "It tastes rancid.." Well I am a freak about expiration dates and she knows it so I ask her what the expiration date is and she says she didn't see one and threw it out. Not believing her, I got it out of the trash and looked at the expiration date. NOVEMBER 2005!!!! I felt sick the whole rest of the night.
Thus, my crappy 35th birthday.

Happy Birthday! Sorry it wasn't as happy as you would have liked. I would go to the store and get a special desert just for you- you deserve it after that!!!
my 35th is on Wed. and I'm going to my parents house this weekend to 'celebrate'.....wish me luck with that.

That really sucks girl, I am sorry. First birthdays after a death are very hard to get thru....but the pain will shift and change until the razor sharp edges are dulled down a bit...of course it will always be there....but it will get easier to manage. Stop by my page and read my journal "Learning To Live Again" it is about my first birthday that I actually lived thru after my mom's death.
On another note, I hope that you get another rasberry mousse pie that tastes great!!! Treat yourself and celebrate again! Big hugs to you girl, if you ever need a friend I am always around.
