Birthday

It was my birthday yesterday. I enjoyed the day with family. I had cake, lots of food, and lots of conversation. It is always good to catch up on what's going on with family and friends. I read some of it on Facebook, but I got a lot more information from conversing.

I received gifts, but didn't get any birthday freebies. Birthday freebies, which are free items or discounts from companies (such as a free pretzel from Auntie Anne's or a free scoop of ice cream from Baskin-Robbins) on your birthday, seem to be a "thing." See more on birthday freebies here:
