A Happier Happy Birthday

It's my birthday today. Twenty-three years ago in the wee hours of the morning, I was born. Usually my birthday is one of the highlights of my year. I love birthdays! Today, however, hasn't been exactly peachy. I had a work-related meeting in which I "went to bat" for some of my coworkers who are getting kind of a raw deal. My concern was pretty much laughed off and I came away feeling frustrated and on the verge of tears! Yup...happy birthday to me. At least I get to go out with friends tonight to a great Irish pub. Maybe today's a good day to try some Guiness....
