It's MY Birthday and I will cry if I want to! Mood
Thursday, June 12, 2008 | A Call For Help story

I just had my 40th Birthday and guess who remembered?  Guess?  My hubby is the only one that remembered (Well LoveCats remembered here online...one of the reasons I love him, other than his name! Wink) .  So, I am living with my brother and his wife, which is not working out, so they will be moving and I even talked to my mother on my birthday and she never mentioned a thing...I mean it was my 40th!!  I think I have a right to be a little bit selfish on that day, seeing as I am now officially middle aged and have to pretend to be an adult and everything!  So I thought I would come to DS and throw myself a birthday party!  So, mention what you are bringing (cake, veggie tofu, whatever) and what you are going to do for entertainment (I know someone plays the maracas and someone tells some really good limericks, but I won't say who!) , and let's give me the birthday party I deserve!  Come to think of it, I have never had a birthday party, so this will be my first.  Join in and let's have fun, because let's face it, I am depressed as hell over this. 

 

Purrs to you all--a middle aged Laura

    Well you get the next 30 years as being middle aged. Then the next decade is over the hill. Then you start to be old. Since I'm on a diet I'll bring you a new cat hair lint roller- a whoopie cushion--a large bowl of fresh fruit and whipped cream and a large spoon. Happy Birthday XXOOO.

    Happy Birthday! 40 is the new 25, or so I hear. I'm pushing 50, so I know what you mean about "middle-aged." Sounds so adult, responsible, parental, boring! But it has its good side as well. I feel much more comfortable with myself than I did when I was younger, and appreciate the good things in life. Enough rambling here ... what should I bring? How about catnip so the kitties will get all rowdy and keep the party hopping? You'll have to post a photo of your tattoo! Hope your day is great!


    Zigzag

  12. ZAZAS

    leemp

  15. catslave

    catslave

  16. catslave

    OK, the spiked punch bowl is over in the corner and the bar is completely furnished...and please do not throw up on the carpet, should the need arise!

    Holy crap - do you ever throw great parties!!!! 40 is the new 20, 50 is the new 30 - sounds right. I'm 48 and feel 22, so it's all a state of mind, girl. Time does fly, that's the scariest part of aging. Yes, be selfish - 40's are all about you, tell your mother you're hurt, I would. XXXOOO - Great party and no hangover too boot!

    my dad forgot this year...like every year, but the best was when he forgot my 16th and he said he thought it was on the 5th....(it's on the 10th and he told me on the 12th) so he would have been really late.

    I'll bring the Leis so we can all get layed...hehe

  46. BooBare

    My kitties always get a b-day party, but do I???? NO. Iam 44 years old and my one and only party was when I was 39, but believe it or not, I hated it because i don't like being the center of attention for 2 hours. I did appreciate it, so don't get me wrong. when I was a kid I never had a birthday party so I'm still waiting for my BARBIE DOLL cake. and some cool toys. To bad I'm to old for that now, (or am I?)...... I hope you get a great gift from someone and a yummy cake because you deserve it!!!!!
