That was 2 years ago.. let me remember... oh yeah, it was super depressing.

My mom had a blood clot in her leg and could barely walk... no one knew about her cancer... they diagnosed her 2 weeks after my birthday.

But in my mom's condition, she walked around the mall all day to find me a birthday present because she felt bad about everything going on.
I hung out with her most of the day, we went to the pharmacy to grab her meds, and that's where I bought my first scratch off..

She was a great mom. She did everything for me. I wonder what it would be like if she was still here today. I'm more mature now and I wish we could spend more time together.

At 18 my life was a whirlwind of activity. On my birthday that year I had just graduated from High School the week before, I was worried about beng drafted into the vietnam war, I recieved 3 extremely good job offers in the same week, I had a car, dozens of friends, and girls ringing my parents phone off the hook to do things with me.

Life was wonderful.

Started off not too great - my hubby -my then boyfriend told me he'd sold his car - I was grumbling about not being able to go any where - later on he asked me to marry him and had sold the car to buy the ring.

Had a casino style party in the evening with parents and card games etc, shots of tequila - drank loads but didn't have a hangover the next morning.

Happy 18th

Most people I know had parties or whatnot. My mom actually put balloons in my room which was fun to wake up to. Then I enjoyed a fun and quiet day at home until my best friend (who lives far away) came online. I had a very sweet conversation with him and he made two songs for me, which made me very happy. Then my family gathered and gave me presents. We had champagne and a defective confetti tube which was very fun anyway. We joked around and ate and I had a teddy bear shaped cake. It may sound lame but I was very happy. Oh, 7 afterward, my mom's dad took me out and insisted to buy me a ring - I found one I fell in love with at first sight and it's my favorite ring to this day. So... I spent quality time with and got beautiful, meaningful gifts from the people closest to me. t was awesome.

My 18th birthday I was big and pregnant! I wandered around HUGE as a house, ate a big birthday cake and got a 4'2" teddy bear. That's about it.... Oh and I went and dropped $20. into a vlt... not much of a gambler but it was the only thing I could legally do then that wouldn't hurt my baby (now a wonderful 11 yr old boy!). Hope yours is way more fun than mine was!

Mine was sh*t! I decided I want to have a party and two people came. We sat around bored. My bf at the time bought me a chocolate bar and that was about it. One of my worst birthdays ever.

I was working. I hadn't told any of the boys that it was my birthday, then one just randomly asked when I'd be able to drink legally, so I kinda had to tell them. One went out and bought me champagne and loads of kiddie stuff (colouring book, lego etc), and then they took me to the pub. Bless their cotton socks.
