My birthday looms, and as usual, I hate it.

Since I'm not overly fond of my birthday - not the getting older part, but being born on Independence Day sucks, and having a little sister born on the same made it worse - I tend to not make a big deal of it.

But I do have a few traditions. One of them was fulfilled today when I picked up a case of Mexican Coca-Cola. Always a special treat!

Because I will be turning 55, you can expect parody lyrics of a certain Sammy Hagar song. But the day itself is going to be low-key.

And then you married someone...

...and got a sister-in-law with the same birthday. (I'm sorry - that's her father's fault. She wasn't supposed to arrive until the 8th.)

Hope you have a great 55th! I promise, 55 isn't bad. I'm looking at 56 in December.
