November is my birthday month. I’m not going to give away which day, but needless to say, when November comes around, it is a significant month for me.
Do I look forward to my big day? I do, though perhaps not with the same enthusiasm that I had as a kid. I don’t mark it as huge occasion, and the only concession I tend to make for myself is that I book the day off work. I have been known to work my birthday, and I once had a job interview on my birthday, but these days, I prefer to unwind and relax on my special day. That’s about all I need to be happy. Naturally I appreciate the presents, and we often go out for a meal, but the presents aren’t a big thing to me anymore. It’s the presence (see what I did there?) of my family and loved ones that matters more.
A few beers wouldn’t be amiss either.

Happy Birthday! Both my husband and my daughter have birthdays in November and we also have Thanksgiving to enjoy, so we try to just celebrate the whole month long. You kind of need to pace yourself, not try to do everything all on one day. 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Happy birthday month! Also, I think birthdays are ideal occasions to have cake without guilt. LOL
Oh yes! I have indulged in… well, mostly beer, but I have indulged!
We all have our preferred indulgences. Me, I’m all about the dessert! LOL
Don’t get me started on desserts! I love me a pudding!
I’ve never had a “British pudding.” It looks like the definition is pretty wide – What kinda ‘pudding’ do you like?
If I were to choose… it would be sticky toffee pudding, which is glorious!
I’ve never had it, but I think I would loooooove that. It sounds sticky and sweet and decadent. I’m in! LOL
