felix sit natalis dies

[coraa]

Happy birthday to me! I'm now twenty-seven. (Actually, I had somehow managed to convince myself that I was twenty-seven about halfway through the year, so I feel like I'm still twenty-seven. I seem to be starting to lose track.)

I've always liked my birthday-date, 11/11, Veteran's Day or Armistice Day or however you want to call it. (When my father was in the army and I went to DoD schools, I always had the day off.) I was born at 10:04 am in Augsburg Germany, after twenty-some hours of labor, and my very history-minded mother always said wryly, "You waited that long, I thought perhaps you were holding out for 11am as well."

Thank you to everyone who has sent me birthday wishes. I appreciate them all. :)

Wow, only three years until you join us 30-somethings. Time flies. :D

Many happy returns. :)
