A Very Merry UnBirthday

I have a confession to make...I hate my birthday. Having one day dedicated to giving me special attention is kind of a nightmare. I don't know why, but that's the way it is. Maybe it comes from years of disappointed expectations, or maybe I just don't like cake. My friends are great and I know they all mean well, but really, next year I'd like it to be ignored. Sometimes being ignored and fading into the background is the best present.
