It’s Ms. Bumble’s Birthday

~ Amy Reese

Yes, it’s my birthday. Happy Birthday to me! And, to my fellow Libras as well. We rule, what can we say? We bring harmony, artistry, and beauty to the world. What would you do without us?

I’m 45 today. This is probably the first birthday in my forties that I can proudly admit my age. Although it took me five years, I’m at peace with it now. Sure, I may have a few more wrinkles and my metabolism has definitely slowed (damn!), and I”ll be menopausal soon…let’s go down a different path, shall we?

I’m wiser and I am not afraid to take chances. I am especially grateful for all the beautiful people in my life, including my family, my friends, and my blogging community. I’m a lucky Bumble. Thank you for spending time with me. I love you all!

It would make my day if on my birthday you did something nice for yourself. Take the time to do something special, something you wouldn’t normally do. Take a nap, meditate, get a coffee, call a friend, read a book, take a walk…because the time goes fast. Whatever you do, I hope you have a lovely day.

  7. I hope you have a wonderful birthday, Amy, and thanks for the permission to do something nice for myself. I do expect you to back me up though when my wife wonders why I bought a Mercedes.

  13. OH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, B.F!!! I hope you have a wonderful day! If I would have know I would have worn one of those silly pointy hats. Oh, okay, okay… I would have worn an even pointer, sillier hat.
    But happy birthday again! That’s the main thing (regardless of my headgear)!

  19. Happy Birthday!

    Well, some people say, “another year closer to dead,” but I think it means another year further away from childish stupidity and naivete, too.

    Anyway, a year’s worth of knowledge and experience never hurts.

  26. Happy Belated Birthday my new friend!

    So I’m a few days late, but I think the nice thing I’ll do for me, well for you, but you said to something for me. Wait, did I confuse you? I’m very good at that. What I’m trying to say is it makes me very happy to follow you and get little email presents from you. It’s like a win win! And I get presents. How cool is that? Does that make up for being late? I would’ve been here sooner but I was stuck out running twenty miles somewhere. Or eating cookies. Probably a 50/50. But welcome to my world. I’m crazy but I’m nice. You seem to be too. 🙂

    1. Well, welcome! Thank you for the birthday wishes!! It’s never too late to wish someone a happy birthday 🙂 I’m so happy that my emails are gifts…that’s very sweet. We were you running a marathon perhaps? That is quite a long distance. In any case, that is definitely a good excuse for being away. Thanks for being here!

      1. Final training stages my friend. Just finished my final twenty miler, now I get to taper and slow down for two weeks until my first marathon (26.2 miles ). Yay!
