the only thing

My birthday is soon, about two weeks away. Mike's birthday is about two weeks after mine. We are thinking about having a small party in the time in between. We laid awake talking about what to do for our birthdays. I think we will probably just support the local economy by eating out. There's nothing we really need - stuff just gathers dust. I have a ton of soap and perfume and books and cake pans.

Instead of gifts, I want to start asking people to make donations to good causes. There are so many, and it seems almost impossible to narrow them down. So I will start local, with the amazing rescue group that we adopted Pumpkin and Jasmine from last year. Street Cat Rescue is amazing and organized by one of the most awesome women in Austin.

That's Mike's shoe, size 12, next to Pumpkin the Giant Orange Cat:


Please consider making a donation, even a tiny one, to celebrate my birthday.

You can also try coming up with something neat to do for your birthdays... one year we hit up the San Antonio zoo because I told Rick I wanted to see polar bears. =)

I'm kind of idea-less for this year, myself. Ed and Chelle are bailing on me for most of May, so we probably won't bother with a bbq.

Maybe you could day trip to something tasty... hmmm.
