I'm all up for joining little groups, but I've always *liked* my
summer birthday.  It's July 2, which I think is mid-year's-day, and we
always had the family party on July 4th.  Just think, all those
fireworks and catching lightning bugs and silly string and staying
outside in the nice and warm till all hours, all for *my* birthday
party!  Who needed a classroom party?

Now, of course, I enjoy a birthday in the same month as JKR and Harry
Potter, and the HP books tend to be released very near to it, too!

But, if you still want that support group, how about Classroom
Cupcakes Anonymous?  You can meet in an empty room in the local school
and pass them around (the cupcakes, I mean) and sing "Happy Birthday"
to each other.  Everybody always brought in stale cupcakes for their
birthday, didn't they?

trying to give Cindy a sympathetic pat on the back, but suspecting she
was no help at all!
