I had an all around good birthday. And speaking of birthdays, I noticed that so many people have birthdays right around mine, even on the same day. Is there a way to find out what days or weeks are the most common for birthdays? I would be very interested. Here's a sampling of the rundown:
October 4th
My grandfather
A girl I went to high school with who is now roommates with my best friend from high school
A woman from my book club
October 6th
Me
A guy in my department
My best friend from high school (whose roommate's was the 4th - see above)
An ex-boyfriend's brother
A little girl I used to babysit for
Matt Lauer
My supervisor's next door neighbor
October 7th
My supervisor's husband
A coworker's best friend
October 8th
A coworker
The Fed Ex guy
A coworker's sister
A coworker's daughter
October 10th
A coworker (who gave me flowers for my birthday and now I want to think of something nice for her - suggestions??)
October 12th
A coworker (who suggested a "Libra Lunch" for the three of us girls (her, myself, and the coworker from October 10th)
I'm sure there are dozens more that I'm just not remembering right now. It's birthday craziness, I'm telling you. What's so weird is that a lot of people tell me they've never known anyone who shared their birthday (obviously, they are none of the people listed above) and I'm always startled by this because I regularly encounter people with my birthday.
