around the sun again
Good morning, internets. This year I got you some wild flowers.
My coworkers, being both lazy and not very good at keeping details straight, decided to recycle the half dozen Mylar birthday balloons gifted to our accounting manager on her birthday at the beginning of the month by taping them to my cubicle walls. This is pretty annoying, but they got bent out of shape when I took a scissors to the one they had tied to my monitor so I left them up.
Towards the end of the week one of the girls across the way in another department asked when my actual birthday was and how old I was going to be. “This next Monday,” I said, “and…thirty-two?” I scratched my head. I can’t keep track of these things. “Yeah, that sounds about right. Thirty-two.” I shrugged.
“Cool. I’m turning thirty-one in a few weeks.”
“Oh, sweet! Stop by my desk later, I’ll give you some pro tips. I’m pretty good at this thirty-one thing.” And you know, I guess I am, though this is more by accident than design. It’s been a pretty good year.
Anyway, here I go around the sun again. Thirty two, here’s looking at you.

Happy Birthday! Those are very pretty flowers.
(I forget how old I am sometimes, too.)
Happy Birthday! Here’s hoping you’re even better at 32 than you were at 31.
Ah, you’re a wee tyke at 32, but I like ‘em young.
Was doing a bit of work to my birthday playlist earlier and though I usually skip The Beatles’ “Birthday” when it’s not my bday, I left it on in your honor.
May your next orbit be loaded with fun, adventure, relaxation, dear friends and family, and all around marvelousness!!!
Ahhhh see, if I had read blogs like normal then I would have known!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAPTAIN SEXYPANTS!

Next time we’re hanging out, I’m buying you a beer. Or thirty two. Cuz that’s what secret lovers do.
Happy Birthday my friend!
OMG OLD MAN! You’re 32 now??!?!?!
My computer got so excited it ejected its CD.
Since I already said Happy Birthday this morning do I have to again?
I think I’m holding out on this “Happy Birthday” until you take me to Voodoo Donuts. Dude.
Happy Birthday to one of the nicest guys I’ve ever hung out with online. Wishing you many happy times in the coming year. XXX
What, it’s your birthday? AGAIN?? Sheesh. Abigail and I just celebrated that with you LAST year! I’m making Matt do it this year, I’m too old for that much alcohol.
Happy Happy! I celebrate you being TEN YEARS younger than me. Oh well … you’ll be middle-aged one day too.
