Birthday Wish: To Chill the Eff Out
Saturday, June 6th, 2009
Seriously. What if it sucks?
Yesterday was my birthday and tonight I’m having a little get together with some friends from high school, college, and work. I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks, even though I don’t particularly enjoy planning large parties or gatherings- especially for myself. Which is why the whole thing has gotten a bit…anxiety-producing.
Like, there were problems with the original reservation. And then Emo decided at the last minute not to come for some reason and maybe he’s not speaking to me. Also, I’m trying to coordinate with Mara who’s coming in from out of town. What will we do after and will everyone get along? What about the people driving down from the suburbs- where will they park? Are there enough dinner options for the vegetarian of the group? That sort of thing.
Maybe it’s just planning jitters, but it’s nearly time for me to get ready and I feel like I’m about to start sweating. It’s completely silly. Why do I even get all neurotic like this? It’s nice to be able to share my birthday with my friends and those I love, but sometimes I think it might be better to just go on vacation instead.
I’ll run some stats.
I know I texted you, but haaaaaaappy birthdaaaaaaay. Hope it was lovely.
Happy Birthday! And while I may be a little late let me say, the party will be great, most will get along, they will find food options and parking and you’ll all live happily ever after.
I only know this because it happens to me every time I plan anything. But we’re gemini’s so worst case scenario…we’ll just carry the conversation!
Hope you had a great weekend.

A belated Happy Birthday to you!
I hate planning things with myself at the centre of attention too. I try to think of everything, travel plans for guests, the lot. Then my (male, of course) friend just said to me: “It’s YOUR birthday. Don’t you just tell people what you want to do and they turn up?” A revolutionary idea! If only it was so simple!
I hope you have an amazing time surrounded by friends! x
happy belated bday lady! hope it all turns out fabulous!
Thank you, my fancy readers. The dinner party went off without a hitch and the freak out was all for naught. There even was flan with a birthday candle and singing!
