This is the one with a great birthday gift.
I wanted to elaborate.
In my last traffic blog I talked about how I don’t place too much importance on birthday gifts, and I’m thinking that it could have something to do with the Lawson family’s way of dealing with birthdays.
I had one Birthday party when I was in kindergarten, and all of the subsequent birthdays usually included a card and some cash. Don’t get me wrong…I’m thankful that my parents were able to provide me with money. My point is that we don’t spend a lot of time recognizing birthdays up in here.
Last year I received a lot of attention on my birthday thanks to my blog buddies at TheLiberalOC.com. And I remember being really thankful that people cared enough about me to buy a cake and food and presents and sign a card. It’s all nice.
I just don’t like the idea of people going out of their way to buy me something, or give me a b-day “holla.”
With all that said, I received one of the best birthday presents I’ve ever received this week. Look what Mr. D. bought me:
It’s a framed concert poster from a concert that I have described in the past as “life-altering.” Incredibly thoughtful of him, huh? And you can’t tell in this photo but he got it framed and it looks 20 times better than the photo shows.
I can’t wait to hang it.
@cheapblueguitar you leaving?? Or just singing?

Hi, stumbled on your blog through a friend of a friend of a…you get the idea. Anyway, Happy Birthday, fellow March 20th baby! Love the blog, especially the post about the nuns. I might have to make a “habit” of throwing that into random conversations.
Wow! That’s an awesome present! Btw, I listened to Rufus Wainwright’s version of Hallelujah and it’s amazing! Thanks so much for recommending it. Also, I was thinking… how about the word ‘truck’ for your security words? And ‘Rufus’?
