It’s my birthday, too!!
I didn’t mind turning 50 last year. To me, 50 sounded like freedom.
I was not a fan of turning 40, but I looked forward to 50.
A year later, I can say that it’s shaped up to be all I could hope for. I’m letting go of things that don’t matter to me. for instance, the judgement of others. Who fucking cares? I am exactly me and I have no desire to apologize for that anymore.
I started this blog after my birthday last year and I have had so much fun with it. I have met some amazing people and it’s allowed me to begin working through some past hurts with my own squadron of cheerleaders urging me on.
I would like to take this opportunity on my 51st birthday to say thank you.
Thank you to all of you who read my blog.
Thank you for all your encouragement and support.
Thank you for helping me feel like I might actually have something to say.
It means more to me than all the vintage shoes and chocolate cake in the world.
I almost couldn’t write the chocolate cake part because it felt a little like a lie. I had to think about that for a minute.
The truth is, you guys really are better than chocolate cake. Even better than chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
Here’s hoping that 51 is even better.
Thank you for blogging.
🙂 aw…you’re welcome!
Happy 51st birthday Michelle. Life flies by so quickly these days, so enjoy every moment of it. I’ll have to think about anyone being better than chocolate cake. I like my food way too much.
Hope you have many more happy birthdays and enjoy the rest of the week.
Thank you, and yes it does fly by…I try not to think about that too much. haha…
Yeah, it was a hard choice, but I really do like y’all more than chocolate cake.
Happy Birthday Ass Butt!!! Love you!

Happy Birthday. I just turned 40 and I really didn’t mind it. Of course, it wasn’t like Logan’s Run or anything like that, so I had that going for me.
Hahahah! Yes! and thank you!
Yay! Happy birthday to you! Even if we’re better than chocolate cake and ice cream, I still hope you’ll have cake cuz what’s a birthday without cake? 🙂
It’s at home waiting for me!
For 19 years now, everyday seems like a birthday when I wake up next to you.
Happy birthday, sunshine.
Thank you, Randy. 🙂
I found your blog yesterday, which was also my daughter’s 11th birthday. I didn’t see this page until today, I found your post about being the adult child of a narcissist through a google search. Happy Birthday.
From someone at the beginning of this journey, I just want to say thank you for being in the room with me when I finally found the light switch. I thought I was alone all these years. Please keep blogging, I can tell I will need you in the coming years and months.
Thank you so much!
And I’m glad you found me, we need to stick together and muddle through this shit! If you ever want to drop me an email, just hit that contact button.
Happy Birthday to one of my favorite people that I’ve never met! (And, oh, isn’t Randy just the sweetest?)
Thank you! And yes, he really is
Shit! I meant to tweet you a happy birthday message but I was too busy complaining about Sheldon.
Hope it was great!
HAHHAHA…thank you, sister
Happy f’n birthday Michelle! I’m glad that you are…………
that you exist.
Big fat kisses to you!
OMG HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope it was awesome!
I’m so glad you’re here, and yes, you definitely have something to say.
And, chocolate cake sounds really good right now…
Oh man..I have a stack of cupcakes with my name on them….
I have chocolate cupcakes in the freezer. Possibly time to dust them off and have one. 😀
(No, there isn’t dust in the freezer..lol…it’s just been a long time since I HAD cake…)
OMG..my cupcakes were so go. I’m so stuffed today. And we’re still going out for dinner…
Hahahaha…I agree re looking forward to 50 and then being like, 51? So what LOL
And thank YOU! I get so much from your blog 🙂
Thank you so much!!!
Happy Birthday Michelle! I will be 50 next year and I am looking forward to it as well. This planet has been a better place the last 51 years because of you being in it Michelle. Here’s to another 51 years! And chocolate cake. With ice cream and sprinkles and money hidden inside of it like when we were kids (or a winning lottery ticket!). And wine. Lots and lots of wine. (I noticed you didn’t say we are better than wine. 🙂 Chocolate cake is pretty good though, not gonna lie so you must love us a lot!)
Hahahah…thank you! And I don’t drink wine..but I would be hard pressed to say y’all are better than tequila!
Thank YOU. For singing my life with your words. Helping me know I’m not crazy or even broken. That there is hope. Happiest birthday, ever.
Oh my gosh! You are so welcome! We’re not broken at all…we have experience that makes us unique and a little crazy…but we rock like frozen crazy.
I hope you had the BEST birthday ever !!!!! I must be honest and say I am looking forward to turning 50 – I think it’s going to be a real hoot !!
I’m really glad you started blogging and I’m even more glad that I found you !
Have the best day !
Me
It has absolutely been a wonderful day! Although, I am very nearly in a sugar coma and am uncomfortably full…I have been all day….but damn..it’s been good.
I’m glad you had a good birthday, and I’m glad I found your blog. It’s amazing what you can find in the Bloggess’ comment section; so many links to interesting blog posts, and at the bottom of so many of them, wow, there’s a comment from that RageMichelle again. I should go and check her blog out again, she sounds hella cool…
hahaah..I’m glad you found me too! Your comments are always welcome and insightful. 🙂
Happy birthday, Michelle! I hope this year is your best year yet. And thank you for being wonderful.
