Birthdays for everyone

I left World Market with six Happy Birthday cards in tow. The cards cover August-October birthdays. The process of selecting the cards took about 30 minutes. I take the whole picking out greetings cards business very seriously. Maybe too seriously. I also make it a point to avoid all the cards that focus on getting old. "Ha ha! You are old!" seems to be a common theme. I find it irritating. I may make silly jokes related to age in person but I would never send such a greeting through the mail. I suppose the written me is much sweeter.

I have plans to one day switch over to using my own photos for greeting cards. I don't want to spend a fortune but I like the idea of my photos being used for something other than flickr. I don't even take the time to print my own photos. How sad. Of course, I'd be shocked to find a digital photographer who actually does print his/her photos.
