29 candles....

on my birthday cake!

No, I don't feel any older, maybe it's because I already feel old....

It's also the birthday of the US Marine Corps, although they beat me into the world by 201 years..... Semper Fi, guys.

Interestingly enough, I was born 5 days early. If I had arrived on my due date, DH and I would share a birthday.

And thanks to Chrissy, Amanda, Physics Geek, Ith, and Jay and Deb for the good wishes!

P.S. I was six weeks early. My original due date? April 1, 1965. I dodged THAT bullet, didn't I? LMAO!
