Today is my birthday! When you get to my age, you’d rather avoid them, but the damn things come around every year anyway. :gah: But hey, the way I look at it is, I’d rather have the birthday than be dead. :giggle:

So let’s celebrate today! And we’re going to celebrate by me giving you a gift. Pretty cool how that works, huh?

My family and I went out to eat Saturday night at a Japanese restaurant (it’s kind of a tradition). I love hibachi cooking. Yummm. We had a great time. Tonight we’re doing pizza and cake. Hey, I love those long birthday celebrations that drag the birthday out for a long time, ya know? Today I’ll make a birthday cake. And yeah, I make my own cake. I like home made cakes, not store bought ones, and really don’t mind making my own.

One person who posts on my blog today will win their choice of any of my books. Anything. (well, as long as the book has been released). Print book, e-book, whatever you’d like. All you have to do is tell me what you like most about birthdays. Is it getting presents, cake, being with family, going out to dinner, feeling special? My favorite part is getting my family together. And now that #1 son and his family are living out here, this birthday is very special to me.

Now your turn. I’ll draw the winner tomorrow.
