The Real Birth Date

One must think about how they wish to celebrate their birth date. Is it to hide in the closet, hire a stripper, or make reservations for a quite dinner with incredible wine and your sweetie at our side. Expectations are not met if you aren't pro active about it. I did not think this through completely. Typical for the Type A personality that I am. Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead.

First I decided to celebrate my birthday with an elaborate party 4 days before my actual birthday. The party was a big success and many of my eclectic friends who came to my new house to not only look at the house but to clink the champagne glass for a toast, watch illegal fireworks in the back yard and dance the night away with a wonderful DJ spinning classic songs. Of course the alcohol was flowing.

I received many emails and phone calls after the party telling me how great I look (youthful/oh know you can not possibly be that age, etc)and what fun they had at the party. That lasted another couple of days. I am milking this birthday....
When it actually got to my birth date the phone calls and emails had stopped and my mom did not even call me. Boo hoo. What happened to the ME day. I called in all my political capital too early. Darn.

To cap off the birthday evening, my girlfriend and I are going to a local Italian joint to drink wine, talk smack and maybe share an appetizer or two. What a quiet way to end this drawn out birthday celebration.

I really wanted a few special old loves and even a couple of new loves to call me today. Not to happen. Watch out for unspoken expectations to sneak up on you.
Maybe my lesson to learn here is that I had expectations of a guy to be associated with my happiness on my birthday celebration.
Plan your birthday if it is a special day for you, watch your expectations and don't peak too early.

Just to end this blog on a high note, check out this birthday card from my girlfriend. It will put a smile your face.
