Pretty pretty Princessery

Mom, when I grow up can I be a pretty pretty princess? Seriously...Every woman dreams of being a princess. I can remember the moment when I realized that I was not going to be doing princess type activities on a daily basis. It really sucked. Truly. What I eventually have came to terms with is the fact that there are a few days a year where we as women really do get to actually celebrate and act like a princess. Mother's day and birthdays. I, being a Gemini obviously try to stretch that shiz out for a month long birthday celebration. It doesn't always work out that way, but I still give it a solid go every June. This week it is a dear friend of mines birthday. We are both turning 36 this year. Somehow we went from being "Alive at 35," and beach vacationing to having lunch at Cracker Barrel with the 70's and over crowd. Apparently this suddenly sneaks up on you when you hit the late 30's mark. The urge to have coffee and pie and play that pin jumping game. I digress.
Top 7 reasons why birthdays deserve a straight up princess party:
1) Children that growl, hiss, have moldy science experiments growing in zip lock bags and or also may still be toddling in diapers.
2) The need for hair dye.
3) Our mothers and or the fear of becoming our mothers.
4) Teachers and their over organizational skills that make one feel like a complete jackass in comparison.
5) Living with the same man for years and not killing him ( I'm still perfecting this skill. I may not be able to claim this reason).
6) Being a working mother.
7) Clown car type descriptions of body parts...

Conclusion: We will be celebrating princess style even if it's only at the Cracker Barrel. Pink boa's and all.
Dating snippet...Promised someone I would start sneaking these in, slowly. Don't ever settle for someone who doesn't recognize your need to at least be princess for a day. The way he/she looks at you should make you feel that way everyday. However, in the real world if they can't recognize how awesome you are on your special day, move on.
