birthdays

I have always loved my birthdays. I'm not normally an attention hog, but for some reason, every year, once a year...I want all the world's attention on me! My 32nd birthday just passed, and it was no exception. But here are some of my more memorable birthdays:

For my 21st birthday, about 10 or 12 of my friends threw me a birthday party at Five Oaks...a swanky underground piano bar in Greenwich Village.

For my 30th birthday, my friend Lynn and I planned a big bash in Texas...where we grew up. We had BBQ, Mexican food, lots of friends, and a honky tonk with a mechanical bull and the world's largest dance floor all thrown in! I also kept right on celebrating for the entire month, with a birthday dinner in Los Angeles with about a dozen friends, a family lunch, and a lovely afternoon tea at the Huntington Gardens with my boyfriend.

This year, I went to Vegas, and I also had dinner with about a dozen or more friends. It was quite lovely...dinner and conversation on a patio at a hip L.A. restaurant.

The strange thing about this birthday...two of my exes e-mailed me with happy birthday greetings. One was my ex-fiance.
