Me too, me too! July 19th!

The only time I was at school at my birthday was in college, final year, and 
it really wasn't that much fun - no party, just had a class where nobody 
really bothered to go beyond "well, then happy birthday". Not even the ones invited 
to the dinner afterwards (they did sing me Happy Birthday in the restaurant, 
but it is the *first* time people see you on that day that *really* counts, 
isn't it?...)

However, my mom did a most lovely thing, which, as a bad daughter, I barely 
remember: because I could never have "a party in the classroom", when of my 
christening (I was baptized in May, at almost 9 y-o, and one week later was my 
First Communion) she threw a party for me at school!

Anyway, count me in for that support group... Maybe I can grow out of this 
habit of mine of taking a holiday from work on my birthday... Maybe I can 
understand exactly why is it I always do it...

and still trying to get some time off to find out what you've all been up 
to...)
