I was once well known for my birthday-remembering skills. I was awesome. Untouchable, in fact. I was the go-to gal for all birthdate inquiries. For years, no birthday went unrecognized or uncelebrated. That is until now. I’ve started to forget. I could list off excuse after excuse, but the truth is, I’m just forgetful.
This month has been exceptionally bad. And what a month to forget birthdays. It is packed with them. Let’s see…
March 1 – Glenna Somers (Forgotten…sorry SOMS.)
March 4 – Skye Blake (Forgotten…How could I??)
UPDATE!! March 7 – Melanie Martin (How embarrassing. We had to be reminded altogether. Sorry Melanie.)
March 12 – Coline McWilliam (Forgotten…Whoops.)
March 12 – Lauren Elliott (Forgotten…You’d think with two birthdays on the same day that I’d remember. Apparently not.)
March 17 – Avery Lyon (Remembered – but forgot to call 🙁 )
March 21 – Gerry dePooter (Remembered! But he called me first. BAD Shan.)
March 21 – Carole Gallant (Remembered!)
March 26 – Lois Cheyne (Can’t forget 🙂
March 28 – Duncan Fullerton (Must remember, must remember, must remember!)
March 30 – Dan (Hard to forget – Oh, and by the way…he’s turning the big Dirty 30!)
So…My apologies go out to the birthdays I recently forgot, and to the birthdays I may forget in the future. I promise to remember them next year – that is, unless I forget that I made this promise.
mark - dammit! that’s the only day in april that Sonja and I have plans.
We should go to the Black Sheep again soon, though. Amy Millan’s show would be a good one (June 7). It’s on a wednesday, but she’d be worth seeing.
(fyi, she’s the non-annoying singer from Stars)
Gary - Dan, 2 shows hardly constituates a habit. One more time and I can be ridiculed at will.
