Well, the beginning of my birthday is over. Today was great! At twelve on the dot my sister, Miss Marc Jacobs, lit up my timeline on Twitter with her all capped birthday bulletin. This led to a chain of others. Shortly after, my phone beeped and buzzed, "Happy Birthday Ms. Chas!"
As morning fully came in, my husband touched my lips with a birthday kiss. And filled my hands with some cash. Haaaaaay! I love that man. Muah!
Even Chayce gave ma some birthday love as she sneezed & cough in my face. Mmmmm!
As I prepared for work, my phone was still in over-drive. My Twitter family was up and I was RT'n. It felt good. I couldn't stop laughing at some of my tweets. I swear, I love my followers!
Of course, I had to send one up to the man upstairs. God has truly blessed my life. Almost a year ago, I gave birth to the most adorable person in the world. She's made her father and I lives more beautiful than ever imagined.
My mom called to wish me a happy birthday and like every year, I do the same to her. It's so retarded, "Happy Birthday, my Love." And then I go, "Happy Birthday Ma." As an adolescent, it's cool. At 28... bor-ring!
It's bad enough I now have to share my birthday with another sister. And according to the other birthday tweets, half the DMV.
Anyway, I finally made it to work. At this point, my voicemail is telling me that my mailbox is 90% full and I need to delete messages. Yeah right! I'm not deleting anything!
Ok. I'm a little sleepy so I'll go ahead and close by saying that I'm grateful for another year and I can't wait for all the wonderful things that's in store for me.
This is only the beginning. As promised via Twitter, I will be celebrating my birthday the entire month of February. I'll also recognize legends of black history with a Moment in Black History.
Tonight's Moment in Black History is dedicated to Langston Hughes, whose birthday is also February 1st. I get to share my birthday with one of the greatest poets of all time.
Happy Birthday Langston!
Well guys, that pretty much sums it up. Until tomorrow night... Enjoy!
And again, thank you. Muah!
Chas B
