my birthday this month



Ever wish you could create your own buttons?
I thought this was funny.

Well, it took almost 37 years but I found one. I finally found a friend who shares the same birthday. I don’t know why it was so hard. I know several people born in my month, but none born on the same day. I am very pleased that it is my new friend Kelly E.  Kelly and I met through a mutual friend. She is a Lesbian, who has two get kids and a super nice partner. Kelly also helped take pictures during the Miss Texas State Pageant last month. Just after the pageant we started talking via social networking site, Face book.  She even talked me into helping with her daughters cheerleading project last month. I gladly gave up my Friday night plans  and helped. Each girl was supposed to create a cheer/team spirit shirt. They could decorate it and be creative. Kelly was not sure what to do, so I offered to help. I love any thing fun and crafty. Also being a queen, it was another excuse to rhinestone something. We shopped for supplies and then got to work on the shirts. Kelly and I and another mom worked together in a mini sweat shop. We decorated shirts and megaphones and even made these cute seats for the girls to sit upon. I had so much fun, and I heard that the girls love what we had made for them. These cheerleaders are under 10, so anything with their name all over it is bound to be a hit. Kelly was so much fun to work with. And her family are so cute together. Then today I noticed on my Face Book, that we share the same birthday. I think that is great. Kelly was excited to hear about it too. I knew I liked her. All people born in October are great!  My Birthday is just a few weeks away.  I really want a homemade pecan pie and maybe a dinner out at Joe T. Garcia’s restaurant in Fort Worth. I dare to dream.  (table for one please).
