My Happy Birthday

birthday_doctor.jpgApril 5th was a beautiful day in San Diego. The morning sun was shining, the smell of French Toast was in the air, and was officially entering into my mid-twenties.

I had an amazing breakfast with loved ones and started to open the few gifts laying on the table. One was being a little stubborn so I got some scissors to help me out. The blade slipped in my hand, sliced my finger, and now I have five new birthday stitches. Yay!

Thanks to everyone who remembered my birthday in the previous comments. You are too kind.

    Happy, happy birthday Phil! Sorry its a little late. Oops! I didn’t realize that your birthday was April 5th, but I know now :}. I hope you had a wonderfully relaxing day with friends and family (despite the injury :})! At least you’ll always have something to remember it by!!

    Ouch man! Glad you are a-okay. Welcome the world of “mid-twenties” (although I’m pretty sure you’re my age–23–which I think to be more early twenties). Either way, it’s a pretty fun ride! Happy belated.

    Dude, what better birthday present is there than a potential scar!

    I have a pretty groovy one on my arm, but it wasn’t on my birthday, rats. Maybe another comment from you would make up for that. Ha just kidding.

    Hope you had a good one, nonetheless.
