Happy Birthday! I guess it's good that I don't get that many gifts now that I'm an adult, so I don't face that awkwardness very often.

Hey Julia...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!     Oh, and I always can accept gifts graciously...I'm a good actress. LOL Then what I do with the gift depends on how often I see that person. LOL I give a lot of stuff to the goodwill and local pet charities. They actually have thrift stores that all the proceeds from donations (clothes, etc) go to animals shelters. Those are the ones I mostly give to. I hope you have a wonderful day! XXOO

Julia
It makes you wonder how people see you when they buy you a give they are sure you will love and it is the least likely thing you would ever have bought in your whole life. LOL HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADY

Happy Birthday. Is it time to adopt the policy of "cash only" in anonymous envelopes to be dropped into a box?

A very merry un-birthday to you!

The real gift, of course, is the time and thought put into it, and
the fact they brought it to you. It's not just the attraction of cake!!!  Hope your big day is happy (come to think of it, why not wish every day is blessed) and you get lots of warm hugs.

Bad gifts are the stuff of yard sales!

Unfortunately, I'm a good actress and smiling when I feel like busting the

gift over someone's head is a problem I have.

Happy birthday early!

Happy Birthday .. I am always late or early at  wishing Happy birthday.. sigh..so enjoy this wish.. I will try to remember tomorrow.

I know what you mean about presents. Really I had rather not get them because I cant hide my reaction very well either.  Its so awkward because I know the person took their time to get me a gift.. I feel so ungreatful..sigh..~Peace, OTA

ROFL... I am horrible at the poker face/fake enthusiasm game also.

Wow, I didn't realize it was already the 20th tomorrow.  I have two friends born on that same day... guess it's e-cards this year!  LOL 

Happy early bday if I don't get here tomorrow!
