So what am I doing to celebrate?
Well, I took today and Monday off work; 4 day weekend, bitches! Besides, I AM worth it! :)
I share my birfday with Jane Curtin, Pippa Middleton, and Roger Waters. Jane and Roger are older than I. Pippa is only 30 (only).
My to-do list looks like this:
haircut
misc. bullshit
Already had a nice pedi (courtesy of my MIL) and BIL gave me an Amazon gift card (bought new cordless phone set for living room and upstairs bedroom).
Spouse gave me a book on Marian Anderson, and the cat girls gave me a CD of Oscar Levant playing my fave Gershwin piano pieces. High culture, I haz it! :)
At some point today, spouse will take me out for cock-a-tails (a nod to the mistress) and dinner.
Wish we could get away someplace, but no money stops us.
ETA: so we had lunch and cock-a-tails at Bacco. A cosmo and a shot of limoncello for drinky-poos. And chocolate gelato for dessert.
So THIS year is quiet...but NEXT YEAR when I am officially 60...there MUST be a party to end all parties! Who's with me?
(sung as Marilyn Monroe) Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Ann Marie, Happy Birthday to you! (cue fan... skirt blows up. OOOPS, I forgot my undies)

undies are overrated; I haven't worn any since 1977! MWAH to you, sweetie!
DeleteYOur to-do list looks like mine of the past few years. Chuck all that and treat yourself to something different. If you weather today is as beautiful as ours, plan something outdoors. Lunch at a cafe, or photo expedition in some lovely natural area.
ReplyDeleteIn any event, make it a memorable one. Cheers!

thank you, sweetie! I am sitting here contemplating my belly button at the moment and deciding whether I want to go back to bed. but I have a yard work estimator coming at 9a... (sigh)
DeleteMWAH!
Yay!! Happy Birfday, Anne Marie! Twenty-one at long last!
ReplyDeleteI love you, cubby! this old girl will never see the likes of 21 ever again. MWAH!

ReplyDeleteAnd m-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ny more.
OH HELLZ YES, I am trying for 100, you know! MWAH!
DeleteHappy Birthday! Have a Cosmo or two for me!
ReplyDeleteOh, Anne Marie (you surely deserve your full nomenclature on this day above all!) - VERY many happy returns to you.
ReplyDeleteI am doubly shamed because not only did you tell me when your special day is - and prompted by my very own asking! - but I DID put it on my list, which I've unusually and unaccountably forgotten to consult for several days.
Don't forgive me 'cos I don't deserve it.
If I survive until next year (no, there's nothing 'special' that you don't know) and, heaven forbid, were I to forget yet again, I'd deserve to be cast adrift alone for the remainder of my tenure on earth.
But hang on! This must be about YOU.
Do enjoy your cocktails. (Have just one more before the 'stop' message starts flashing red.)
Then you can get on with your 'fun list'. What a hoot it all sounds. Never a dull moment!
I'm a-gonna dedicate my next twirl on the carpet to you - which might even extend to doing a 'twerk'!
I send you b'day kisses to be received wherever you want 'em - well, within reason of course.

you are such a sweetheart, dear raybeard! and birthday kisses on the cheeks please (no, not THOSE cheeks).
DeleteI can guarantee you will be shakin' your moneymaker when I publish tomorrow's dance party song!
Seems to me like that "To Do" list ain't gots near enough drinking on it, so screw the list!
ReplyDeleteYou don't need no stickin' lists!! lolz
