You read correctly, today is my birthday! So, maybe just this once….. since it is my happy day and all, you could love me like a blogger? Hahaha! If you didn’t know it was my birthday, and completely neglected to get me a present, maybe I could guilt you into checking out the following posts and give their authors some love – because they totally deserve it! 🙂

Shameless Self Promotion:
Wow, can you believe I have nothing to put here? My weekly CareOne post has been rescheduled to sometime this weekend, and I do have a new staff post coming soon at My Personal Finance Journey…so there will be plenty of shameless self promotion next week to make up for this. 🙂
Kick Ass Giveaways:
I didn’t run across anything new for this week, although the Today, We Give You Our Heart. Merry Christmas from Take Our Stuff is still going on, so check that out if you haven’t already.
One more family Christmas gathering this weekend, and then I’ll be ready to put Christmas 2012 in the rear view mirror! Hope you all had a fantastic holiday!
Travis, thanks for adding my article to your roundup. Happy Birthday sir! Got a special workout planned?
Thank YOU, Brent! I did indeed have a special workout planned. Actually, yesterday and today’s workouts were something I had been working towards for the last few months. I have two strength training workouts that I do – one targets mainly upper body, one mainly lower body. I hit new personal records on almost every exercise in each of the two workouts.
I guess I wanted to prove to myself I wasn’t over the hill just yet. LOL. 🙂
Happy Birthday!! I always feel like the week after Christmas is a time of limbo. Christmas is over… but it’s not yet the new year. It’s the perfect time for a birthday to break things up! Hope it’s a good one!
When I was younger I always felt like I got screwed out of Birthday presents – I always got “combined” Christmas/birthday presents.
As an adult I LOVE having my birthday between Xmas and New Years – especially in the field of work I’m in (software engineering). EVERYONE takes vacation this week, so I’m always on vacation and don’t have to every worry about having to go into work the day after. Hehehehe….. 🙂
Thanks for the mention! I really appreciate it. Happy Birthday!
You’re welcome Hank – hope you had a great Holiday – my birthday was freakin’ awesome! Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Birthday Mate!! Mr.CBB
Thanks, Friend! Also, thanks for sending Karen Lynn from Lil’ SuburbanHomestead this way as well! Have a great weekend!
Happy birthday Travis. Kinda odd cause my birthday is the 29th.
Thanks, Chris….and happy birthday to you too!
Happy Birthday Travis. Here’s to another year of great posts (please)!
Thank you very much, Ha’penny Bits! I have a feeling 2013 is going to be a great year…..I’m certainly planning continuing to share my experiences. 🙂
Happy Birthday late Travis!!!
Thanks, debtgirl – I had a great day – actually a great week!
Happy birthday and have a great New year!
