Birthday marketing

I never cease to be amazed by some of the birthday-targeted marketing that comes my way each year.

But I had one in particular I received via email that really takes the cake:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! FROM: THE PUGET SOUND BLOOD CENTER

Basically..."Glad you're a year older...think we can get some more of your blood?"

Come on, people! Can't you just give me a break for ONE DAY!

Oh well, here I am...29. It better be a good one!

Have a great weekend, my friends.

Song of the day: "American Honey" Lady Antebellum

She grew up on the side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey

Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get going
But wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summertime
And American honey

Get caught in the race
Of this crazy life
Trying to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey, yea

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summertime
And American honey

Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey

Ooh There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summertime
And American honey
And American honey
