April 39er Dancing Raindrops

Dancing between the Raindrops

We’ve been marveling at rain in April, drenching New Mexico, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. Even the parched reservoirs of California. But remember the cheery adage, “March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers.”

So I could use dancing in the rain as an excuse for this late posting of April’s 39er birthday celebration, but I know you’re too smart for that. Sorry I’m late!

Let’s just move on and celebrate the rain, and party with April’s 39er birthday flowers, the perky daisy and sugary sweet pea – a burst of color amid the dewy grasses.

Though a little late to clue you in to a frothy National Beer Day (April 7^th), I’m sure you managed to toast it appropriately. We also skipped through the ultimate party song, International “Louie Louie” Day (April 11^th), but I’m just in time to get you up on your feet for International Dance Day! (April 29^th)

Let’s PAR-TY! After all, you’re still only 39 and Holding … So dance your way through the month!

As Aries (March 21^st – April 19^th) turns its spirited back on us in mid-month, earth-loving Taurus (April 20^th – May 20^th) picks up the slack to guide us into the rites of spring.

Are you venturing out to forage for gifts for one of these two dynamic sun signs? Keep in mind, red is the color for impulsive and free-thinking Aries. Leaning toward chocolate covered strawberries or a bright red shirt?

But Taurus – ah, erogenous Taurus – earthy green satin sheets might do the trick. Taurus, ruled by lovely Venus, is heartily as sensual and a bit softer than passionate Scorpio.

As April showers wash away your doldrums of wintry hibernation, they bring the world back to sharp clarity, echoed in the month’s lustrous diamond gemstone.

 

Let’s don our diamonds, grab a handful of daisies, and celebrate April.

Sing … like no one’s listening | Dance … like nobody’s watching | Love … like your heart fills the whole world.

Happy UN-Birthday April 39ers,

(Here’s lookin’ at you, kid – 39AHC Birthday 39er, Uncle Elvin!)

March 39ers ~ Marching Arm-in-Arm

Marching Arm-in-Arm Down the Aisle

It’s so tempting to stagger through the months of a new year … January – New Year’s Day; February – Valentine’s Day; March – St. Patrick’s Day …

Ah yes, March 39ers – we made it to the month when wearing green is cool and Guinness makes more $$ than any other month of the year.

Pensive Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20) and airy Aries 39ers (21^st thru April 19^th) are proud to march through the month to their own drumbeat. But smart couples fresh off the Valentine cruise, will march down the aisle in March and save a small pot o’ gold.

Considered an “off” month for weddings, it was still no surprise when the young couple in our family announced their engagement at Christmas, and impending nuptials in March. Why?

After all, with their most common clan name of Murphy, what better month to share family hugs and lots of Irish kisses? No doubt, the reception will see a Guinness or two toasts, with twisted tongues.

But there is much to celebrate before and after the popular Celtic holiday … feel free to explore …

February 39ers ~ What Color is Love?

Hearts and harps. Sweets and suites. Who can resist Valentine’s Day? 

 In the eyes of retailers, rather than red, its signature color should be gold for the bullions they’ll rake in. Even singles boost sales, scarfing up on the chocolate discounts. Yum! 

Besides dark chocolate, what color is February for you? 

If you’re a February 39er, the color gods paint you in a kaleidoscope of hues – early Feb Aquarian Water-bearers (Jan 20-Feb 18), can dip into the pool of your moods, with turquoise green, bright blue, or purple. 

Walking through the sands of time with Pisces Fish (Feb 19-Mar 20), all shades of green keep you cool. (Not a red heart in sight.)  

And though there are other noble reasons to commemorate February along with Cupid – World Radio Day (13^th), Presidents’ Day (15^th), and Marijuana Awareness Month – for the 39 and Holding Club, February 14^th is also “Grandpa” Jack Benny Day! Why? Why ... he's the reason we're here.

January 39ers Cuddling with Classic TV

Celebs & Classic TV – Cuddle Up!

Reflection is unavoidable in January – so let's think celebs and those innovative classic TV shows 39 years ago! (There is a certain smug serenity about sharing a birthday with a famous personality.)

Since the famous and infamous flaunt their spectacular flair, and their poorly disguised flaws are unceasing news fodder, let's think about why they’re loved or despised, which may offer insight for a review of your personal traits, January 39ers.    
 
Do you share a 39er birthday and the suave Capricorn personality of Patrick Dempsey (50, Jan. 13)? Or are you known more for your talented quirkiness akin to Aquarian Eddie Van Halen (61, Jan. 26)? 

Caps are staunch supporters but often lack emotional attachment (think Mel Gibson, 60, Jan. 3); while Aquarians tend to baffle the world, switching between brilliant and slightly crazy (ala, zany actress Brett Butler, 58, Jan. 30). But about you … 

December 39ers Celebrate with Cheery Spirit!

Fun 39AHC Gifts!

Oh – is it December already? I was having so much fun celebrating my birth month that I didn’t notice we’d whipped around the corner and run full tilt into the Holiday month!

Oh my, I’m so naughty – December UN-birthday fun is very late – please don’t send me a lump of coal!

My procrastination however, does not mean that December 39ers are any less important – in fact, they may be the most important of the year!

December birthdays tend to be hurriedly squished between shopping and anticipation of the New Year Baby – leaving little time for our fave 12th month babes.
