Milestone Birthdays

I had a thought today (and no, it didn't hurt)...I was thinking that I should really go all out when celebrating my next birthday.  I'll be 33 years old this coming August.  I know, most people don't consider the age of 33 to be a milestone birthday, like they would for their 30th, 35th, or 40th birthdays.  But I personally believe this is a major milestone to me.  Why?  Well, it's going to be the very first birthday I'll be celebrating since being diagnosed with cancer two weeks after my last birthday, and the first birthday since being declared cancer-free.  It's most definitely something to celebrate, I think!!  :-)  how could I not acknowledge something like that, right?  I should definitely have some sort of party, with a DJ and some food, and stuff like that...kinda like what my friend Jose had for his mom a couple of weeks back.  Maybe I can enlist the help of others, seeing that I don't really have that much money (cancer is expensive!).  And if a party is not possible, then maybe a birthday cake with a peach ribbon design on it or something.  That would be cool.  :-)  I just want to do a little something with my family and friends.  Since my diagnosis, I have learned to appreciate the small things, like birthdays.  :-)
