Happy Birthday - All CC members with NOVEMBER birthdays

Postby weisssoccermom » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:08 pm

Just want to wish all NOVEMBER birthdays a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I know that there have to be some members out there who have November as their birthday month.....please let us know so that we all wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

My birthday is on November 16th..... will be 58. I remember back in 2006 when I was supposed to start chemo and they scheduled me for my 50th birthday. I declined and told them that I would start the next day but there was no way I was going to 'celebrate' my birthday with a chemo infusion :(

Who is next to let us know when his/her birthday is in this wonderful month?????

I'm approximately 1 year behind you, weissocermom, clocking at 57 YOA on November 8th. The most exciting thing that ever happens on Nov. 8, is ELECTION DAY. I remember turning 19 a few years ago (way back when, in a state far, far away), and was unable to officially celebrate the big day due to the darn election. This year I will be celebrating on vacation with Mr.Nut, who is elderly having turned 57 on Oct. 2nd.

Happy Birthday to all the members with birthdays in November. My DH will be 54 on the 5th. He actually went to the doctor on his birthday 2 years ago now because of a nagging abdominal pain but they sent him home to take some antacids. It wasn't until he went to the doctor the next January for some burns and said he still had that pain that they ordered an ultrasound and found his cancer after a biopsy of his liver. Crazy 2 years!

I'm not a November birthday but Happy Birthday to all who share this month! November has historically been the month I have surgeries. I'm thankful that I have no planned surgeries this month and hopefully won't incur any unplanned ones!

When I was in elementary school we had three girls who all had birthdays in November. I still fondly remember those days. Debbie's birthday was on November 14th, Margaret's was on the 15th and mine was on the 16th. Three days of cupcakes and class parties. It was hard for our parents to plan bday parties on the weekend.....since we all went to the same all girls' school we all had the same friends. Since Debbie and Margaret were born in '55 and I was born in '56, they teased me on their birthdays that they were a whole year older than me. It always made me so upset back then....now, I'm glad to be just that little bit younger :)

I lost track of Debbie but Margaret and I are still friends....she was one of my bridesmaid at my wedding. Our weddings were a day apart....I wasn't in her wedding...I was on our honeymoon. Even our parents had birthdays a day apart. Her dad's was February 17th, my dad's was February 18th and my mom's was February 19th.

Not sure why I decided to post this....just reminiscing I guess. This is my time of year....Christmas music is on the TV radio stations as of yesterday...raining outside and inside is nice and cozy with the pellet stove on.....my Thanksgiving/Fall decorations are up, the furbabies are snoozing away in front of the stove...and I am just content.

Happy Birthday to everyone who has posted that has a November birthday. Laura - a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY today. Are there anymore November birthdays out there?

Belle - thanks for the Birthday wishes. I hope you can get through the next 27 days without ANY surgeries and enjoy the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
Wishing you the best November you've had in a LONG time :)

Thanks for the post and sharing the memories. I think its important to remember all parts of our lives, they are all significant in different ways. Sometimes we forget the innocence of childhood and the happiness a cupcake can bring. I hope you have a cupcake on your birthday Jaynee :)

My birthday is November 29th. I'll be 39 this year. At one point in my life I hated birthdays. I was vain, and didn't want to grow old, wrinkled and 'ugly'. How naive I was. Now my biggest wish this year, and every year is to one day see an old lady in the mirror and be so grateful for every line and wrinkle.

xoxo
