Lately I've been getting confused about the dates of other people's birthdays. I haven't forgotten any birthdays - in fact, I've been over-gifting.
For example, one of my nieces had a birthday in January. I sent her a card with some cash (my standard niece birthday gift). When February rolled around, I sent her another card with cash. Luckily she's too young to realize that I accidentally sent her birthday gifts two months in a row. Either that or she's smart enough not to mention it.
Yesterday I wished my friend Leah a happy upcoming birthday - I thought her birthday is next week. She reminded me that her birthday is in September. Luckily, Amazon makes it easy to cancel purchases.
If you receive a birthday gift or card from me when it's not your birthday, know that in my mind it's your birthday. Eat some cake, maybe even blow out some candles. It won't mean that you're actually another year older. :-)
