My birthday is on Friday. I feel fairly ambivalent about the whole thing, however, after much deliberation I have gone to the trouble of trying to plan a casual celebration of sorts. There will be cake, and I will eat it. If no one shows up, there will be more cake for me, and Paul and I can sit at home and get drunk just the two of us, and I might even get lucky. If people show up, fun will be had by all. It seems to be a win-win situation.
Reasons I'm looking forward to it:
-My actual age and the age I tell people I am will be the same finally (other than people at work . . . my actual age and the age I tell people at work I am will be the same never). For some reason I had a mental birthday in August (August 19th, to be exact), so biologically I'm just catching up.
-I have a lunch date with one of my favourite seniors from the pool, Tina, and fellow birthday grouch, KD.
-Paulie is taking me shopping for new clothes! And he's going to come with and be my wardrobe consultant! Fun!
-I'm giving myself a long weekend from work, so some sleeping in is bound to happen!
-Some of my favourite human beings of all time have committed to coming over and helping me celebrate, as well as some new friends and some newly reunited old friends.
-It's an excuse to wear a party dress, although more likely than not you'll find me in jeans or stretchy pants (stretchy pants = more cake eating capacity).
-Did I already mention cake? To further that, I'll be making desserts that require the use of a blowtorch!
Reasons I think my birthday is cool:
-I share my birthday with The Great One (if I have to tell you who that is, hurry and come over so I can smack you one).
-Myself, my brother, and my grandmother have our birthdays 3 days in a row. My youngest sister also has a January birthday . . . my parents were BUSY in March!
-Two of my favourite people of all time, each named Kim, also have birthdays within 10 days of mine. We're going to have a special birthday outing just the 3 of us called the K-K-K birthday extravaganza! Inappropriate? Yes!

I'll be there closer to 11.

Thanks hun
How do you feel about smelly hoopers dropping by? :) I too could use a reminder on your address.. I have a hazy sense of how to get there, but alas, I don't think that's enough.
i think that once you get within a 50 foot radius of KT's place, you can't help but know which one it is!
Happy belated, KT :)
