Friday5: Birthday Madness

1. When is your birthday? Does anyone else (famous and/or in your own life) share it?
August 22! Ray Bradbury and Norman Schwartzkopf share it. And my best friend from elementary school, Barb!

2. Do you prefer a big party or an intimate celebration for the chosen few?
BIG party or small party. But definitely a party! Having a birthday just before school starts means that usually my parties were sparsely populated. Been trying to make up for it ever since.

3. Describe your most memorable birthday(s)--good, bad, or both.
Oh I don't know. How about my next one!

4. What is your favorite cake and ice cream? (Bonus points if you share the cake recipe). Or would you rather have a different treat altogether?
Cake and ice cream are traditional and thats fine with me. The icing is often terrible on storebought cakes but that is being too picky, right? I love pie and lemon bars and sweets of all kinds. Hubby likes a big chocolate chip cookie cake. You know the ones with icing .

5. Surprise parties: love 'em or hate 'em?
Love them!

Been a crazy week, Hubby has spent far too much time at the church (wife's opinion...may or may not be accurate). Happy weekend!

Ray Bradbury, cool. And you are so right about storebought cake icing.

Hope the next birthday is wonderfully memorable!

If you think he's spending too much time at the church, then he probably is. To a certain degree though this needs to happen the first year - BUT it can not become a habit. My church says no more than three nights per week of meetings and two 24 hour periods off per week.

good play on the FF5

My daughter loves Ray Bradbury and collects his books. That's pretty neat to share his birthday! Hope the husband/time thing works out more to your liking soon.

I'm with you on the store bought cakes and the icing!'
Good play!

Thanks to you all. We've had a disaster in our area this week, last week there was a big funeral. So, Hubby has been hoppin' and I am being a bit selfish.
Sorry to vent here.
