I keep forgetting...

July 4 is this week. How is that possible? Where did June go?

What's more, Ian's b-day is July 3, and that keeps slipping my mind as well. Mind you, he really doesn't like a big deal made about his birthday. Several years ago, I finally agreed not to buy him gifts for it. I still buy him gifts for Christmas and our anniversary, but since his birthday is his day, I agreed to no gifts for that. I did convince him to let me use his birthday as a good excuse to go out for a nice dinner, though, so we have dinner reservations at one of our favorite places. I still feel weird, though. Even after all these years, it's hard for me to fathom he does not want any fuss for his birthday. Plus, it's his 40th, so that seems like it should be an even bigger deal.

Then again, if his birthday passes without much fuss, that makes it easier for me to ignore that I'm creeping closer and closer to 40 right?

I know! Winter feels like it lasts forever, and then summer is over in the blink of an eye! It's just not fair.


I cannot relate to not wanting to make a big deal of a birthday - especially a milestone! I like any excuse for a celebration though. I don't care if I'm all by myself, I better be on an island somewhere on my 40th. lol

Happy Birthday, Ian! He shares a birthday with my niece.

It wasn't until this weekend that I realized that the 4th is this week! We didn't have any plans until yesterday, and now we're having a few people over for burgers. Our house is perfect because you can see the city fireworks from our front yard without having to worry about traffic!

Oh yeah, my b-day is on Sunday and we have nothing planned. The tentative plan is to go out to eat in a nearby town. Maybe we'll have a progressive dinner and have sushi at one place and Cajun seafood at another.

The way I figure it, if I have to get older (which is better than the only other alternative), I may as well get presents and some fuss out it.

Exactly! 

And I personally think that everyone should celebrate each birthday as if it is their last - you just never know! (Seriously.)
