The twins' birthday celebration is tomorrow! They'll be 28 and 7 days old!! Happy Birthday Maggie and Molly!!

Today is my cousin Pete's birthday and Cordie's birthday! Pete is 31. Cordie is like 70? She's my dad's mom. Happy birthday!!

My big day is coming up on May 6th. I'll be exactly 11,000 days old!! I didn't hugely celebrate my 10,000 day anniversary; I didn't recognize then how totally much cooler it is to celebrate days instead of years.

By celebrating days old, we get many benefits:

1) The parties would be scattered around the calendar. No longer would someone's celebration Always be on Christmas, or always on Halloween, or even always in winter, spring, summer, autumn. We'd get to mix it up some!

2) We are encouraged to count and appreciate each day. Not just each year, but each day. (Maybe once this catches on, my great grandkiddo will write, "we should celebrate hours old!" I'll let him/her come up with reasons why.)

3) More parties!!

1. We can have a small party every 100 days. Very small - like a verbal congrats from peers.
2. Every 500 days, Maybe a card and balloons, free lunch or dinner.
3. Every 1000 days, we're getting a bit bigger - paid day off from work, free tune-up on car, back massage, and lots of ice cream.
4. Every 10,000 days is the monster party!!! This happens once every 27 years and 5 months. People would probably only have 3 or 4 of these ever!! The celebration includes hot air balloon ride, trip around the world, meet favorite actor or actress, .. big crazy huge celebration for weeks!

See? And you can find out how many days old you (or your homies) are right here!
