Divisible by 11 . . . or 3

It's that time of year again. This afternoon, I will be officially divisible by 11 or 3 or 33, I guess. It's so weird. I doesn't feel like my birthday. Brian astutely said, "When you have a baby, all of the focus goes to the baby. You kind of forget about everything else."

I can't believe my parents were right about birthdays. As a kid, birthdays were so magical. I could hardly sleep because of the excitement. Of course, it was all about the presents and cake. Give me, Give me, Give me. Now, that I have my own money and can buy what I want or need, I enjoy giving presents more than receiving them.

Today, just feels like any other day. Brian is so sweet because he is trying to make it special. He even wished me Happy Birthday at midnight.

A special shout to my birthday buddy, Mr. Straw. Don't worry, you'll be divisible by 11 next year. ;-)

Happy Birthday, Marie!

I'm currently divisible by 7 and 5.


Two more years and I'll be prime! :D

A special shout-out right back at you!

I don't have the baby thing going on but today was odd. It's the first birthday I've had where I woke up, got cleaned up and came into work and didn't realize it was my birthday until mid-morning. Oh well, guess that's just how it is.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! You got the numbers wrong... shouldn't you be divisible by 7 and 3? ;-)
