This is the weather forecast for the Wichita area for the next few days:
Now why this is important, at least to me, is that it will be a “wintry mix” tomorrow December 8th. And why is that you ask? Well, it will be my 55th birthday and it is gonna suck! Though I will admit that the high (?!) for the 9th is only a measly 21 degrees so I guess I really should not gritch and groan about my wintry mix.
In the 30+ years I have lived in Kansas I can count on my hands the birthdays I have had where the weather didn’t suck and still have fingers left over. Coming from Los Angles where some years I could even go to the beach if I wanted (as long as I didn’t go in the water, I’m not totally crazy) this has been frustrating and made me even more aware of how much a birthday in December sucks.
I guess I shouldn’t really complain since it will be a whopping 39 degrees. I have had ice storms on my birthday at least 5 or 6 times so this is almost a heat wave when it comes right down to it.
I’m just blue with the weather and the fact that I will be alone tomorrow since Hubby will be in western Kansas for work and my son has to work as well. I was hoping to at least take myself out for lunch in Wichita but not if it’s going to be snowy and/or icy.
Damn, I don’t even have cake. I must be getting grouchy in my old age.
Update:
Hubby brought me roses, dinner for me to have tonight and tomorrow and gasp! even some dessert
He is such a sweetie – Thank you honey.

Happy Birthday, Delaney!
I know the weather in the midwest stinks. I feel it for you, really I do. My birthday comes 18 days after yours, and believe me, it’s been a long, long year since I’ve had any decent weather on mine too.
Never been to the beach for my bday, even when I lived in NoCal, so I can’t relate there, but I can tell you winter used to be my favorite season. Then I moved here. Now it’s autumn. I’ll never hear “winter” and feel the same way about it again.
Oh, and your forecast looks remarkably similar to ours too. See, we have so much in common!
Try to have a good day and happy birthday again!

Oh you poor guy! Sucks to have a birthday around Christmas and I’m glad mine is at the first of the month. Not looking forward to the weather any time soon that’s for sure.

Many happy returns Delaney,
I love birthdays, I don’t mind that I am a year older it is just one day that is all mine. I hope you have a wonderful day and that the weather is good for you.
I was born in March and believe me it is a very brave person who ventures any where near a beach in the UK that time of year. Delaney, I hope you don’t mind me asking but I have posted some pictures of my home town and would love your opinion of them – little things excite me a lot.
Again have a wonderful day and I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Best wishes to you.
Sandy.

Happy happy happy birthday precious bloggy friend of mine!!! The weather may suck (yes, it’s cold here, too and I have to contend with a partially painted house – grrr) BUT we are all better for the fact that you were born! You have enriched all our lives with your amazing writing and your sense of humor, and your unending kindness. At least you are early enough in December to not be forgotten – mine is the day after Christmas when everybody is exhausted and rushing to the stores to return their gifts and buy Christmas paper at half off. And I HATE the combination Merry Christmas/Happpy Birthday cards…but wait…this is not about me…it’s about you you you — EmmaLou is howling Happy Barkday to you, sorry you can’t hear her. We BOTH love you and wish you many, many more birthdays!!! Hugs!

Happy Birthday! I hope you were able to do something fun, even tho no one is around. And this weather is getting depressing. I am thankful for every day that it doesn’t snow.

Oh, glad I didn’t miss it! Hope you had and are having an AWESOME day, sounds like Hubby came through! I’m a December girl also, but mine’s a few days after Christmas … kind of gets lost in the holidays, but I’ve never minded for some reason. It’s just like the party keeps happening and I feel like part of all the fuss between Christmas and New Year’s!
… but your weather today is definitely yuckier than mine! Happy Birthday!!!!!
