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/com
pulsion 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!!
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!
