40th Birthday Party Planning... not.
A number of months ago, I was thinking about having some sort of celebration of my upcoming 40th birthday in early 2007. As the date approaches however the less enthusiastic I am about the possibilities.
It's not that I'm at all anxious about turning 40: I'm actually a little surprised I've survived this long largely intact. What is bothering me, however, is that my schedule is already so loaded with activity that the thought of adding yet another event unnecessarily is more than I want to face.
From mid-January to May, we have Mid-Atlantic Leather, a concert of the Lesbian & Gay Chorus of Washington DC (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kent4str's ensemble is performing), the ACDC square dance fly-in, my birthday, the Philadelphia square dance fly-in, my grandmother's 80th birthday, the Baltimore square dance fly-in and the Denver IAGSDC convention. Add to this our regular activities (trips to Cleveland, kent4str's chorus rehearsals, our calling gigs and workshops) and the occasional unplanned surprise. I was hoping to squeeze in a weekend in New York City --I'm long overdue for a visit-- but I can't think when. When I look at the list to try trimming back, I have to confess the most expendable item is my own birthday.
I think I'll just let this one go and try planning better for my 50th.

Well, the birthday itself falls into this category too. :-)

Go for the birthday party. I've got a special present just for you.

My preference has always been to die at the hands of a jealous husband. Someone else's, that is. :-)

I'm sure if you threw a late night birthday party for yourself at ACDC no one would mind!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr(not in a good way)
Who said you have a choice in this anyway......????
Suppose birthday stuff just happens without your permission....
OH RELAX and enjoy what may come to be.....
your husb and I may very well conspire against you...
(in fact we may have already begun...so there...)
YOU ARE TO MAKE NO PLANS FOR THE FIRST
WEEKEND IN FEB.

Plus there's opening the trailer, the Roseland (campground) mid-winter reunion for seasonal members, and a few other things.
Suddenly I'm tired...
