as if it were designed just for me. and everyone else born from november 26-january 5.
Let me begin by saying that I like getting a hand-calligraphed, letter-pressed, wax-sealed note in the post just as much as the next design whore. But I am certainly not one of those e-card snobs who sneers at anyone who doth descend to such depths. Hell, the older I get, the happier I am to just be remembered, and if it’s on my birthday, then all the better.
So imagine how happy I was that a thoughtful, adoring friend passed this card along (and my birthday isn’t even for another two weeks!), thus reminding me that a) my birthday is December 23rd (my family celebrates Christmas eve, so it’s really the big suck); b) this year I turn thirty, which is the black fly in my Chardonnay, or some other Alanis Morissette metaphor that’s more deplorable than ironic; and c) that someone, somewhere cared enough to both coddle and amuse me with this, so I should really STFU with all the complaining.
