What sign are you?

I was born on my parents' 8th wedding anniversary...third child...following my two brothers ... 11:02 AM on a Tuesday morning. Birth order: the baby of the family...later to be established as the 'lefty' of the family.
I used to call my mom on the phone at 11:02 every year and sing 'Happy Birthday' to her since she birthed me and she was happy about it.
I'll be singing at 11:02 tomorrow just because...that's my thing.
Twenty-nine years later, my son was born three days before my birthday. So really I was three days shy of thirty!! I remember it well.
Where does the time go?
Even though the years add up..somehow we do not feel the age we are. At least...I don't.
If I were to pick one defining characteristic that defines me, it would be my ability/compulsion to burst into song depending on whatever 'word' has been spoken. There was no surplus of money in our house and Catholic school had no music in their program. I often tell Mom that if she had cultivated my musical talents, we'd be living in a house on some beautiful body of water!!
What would be your signature defining trait? Don't think too long...it should pop right into your mind.

  • Happy Birthday, Mare.
    I'm a Cancer/Crab - both such lovely sign nanes, huh. I have that song association thing in my head too, but my kids and grandkids somehow don't appreciate it much.
    But I guess the one thing that defines me is that I think a lot. My mind is always busy.

  • Nope, nothing...I got nothing popping into my head. Maybe that's it!

  • Hummm...I'm thinking. My signature sign would probably be a smile. I have always been one who smiles a lot. I've often been told that I admired for always having a smile. I'm not sure I'm always happy, but I must have some secret joke going on in my head. :)

  • Happy Birthday to you, Mare!

    Now what do I do? My signature trait did not pop into my brain right away.

    Uh oh... is it forgetfulness then?

  • Happy Birthday Mare! I don't know what my signature trait is. Hmm.

  • Happy Birthday!!
    I think my trait is humor, or maybe sarcasm is a better descriptor

  • I am also a Cancer/Crab! My birthday is next week. I also can think of a song to go with words. I used to burst into song in my classroom (especially during spelling...to help them remember the words). They thought I was a little "batty" I think. Happy Birthday to us!

  • Happy Belated Birthday Girlfriend! I see a chocolate cookie and whipped cream cake in our future ... yes, I said our future because I know how much you like to share ... maybe a little tuna mac salad as well. Love ya!
