on my birthday cake!

No, I don't feel any older, maybe it's because I already feel old....

It's also the birthday of the US Marine Corps, although they beat me into the world by 201 years..... Semper Fi, guys.

Interestingly enough, I was born 5 days early. If I had arrived on my due date, DH and I would share a birthday.
