Cancelled

[clevermanka]

To those of you with whom I'd spoken about possible birthday festivities on Saturday, I regret to inform you that I've nixed all plans to do anything. I am not going to go outside any more than I have to, and I'm not going to ask anyone else to go outside for me.

I hate having my birthday during the winter. Have I mentioned?

Last year I decided to have my birthday (observed) on July 31. That didn't happen. In a fit of self-delusional fancy, I thought I'd go ahead and have a birthday party for this year. I'll be 39, and the date falls on a Saturday, so why not?

This morning it was three degrees with a windchill of negative eleven. That's why not. The weather forecasts show a possibly nice weekend, but I'd rather just not deal with it.

Maybe in July.

Count me in for summer birthday craziness. Definitely definitely.

Will do!

It is supposed to be at least above freezing on saturday at least :).

Summer is a good idea though. Maybe you could just celebrate on the half-year anniversary of your birth instead of the whole year? That might include Labor Day weekend some years.

Oh hells no. I would never plan something on KCRF opening weekend.

July. Definitely July.

Yeah, I am feeling the same way about it. It is too cold/slick/ugh to go out any more often than absolutely required, and everyone I am around is constantly sick.

Count me in for July please!

Certainly you'll be informed of Spectacular Party Plans.

Winter birthdays are the suck.

Doh, I didn't know it was your birthday! Well, it is (supposedly) going to be nice on Saturday, in case you change your mind!

Mine is in November, so I know how you feel. As a kid, I never got to have a "friend" birthday party because our house was too small, and who wanted to hang outside the middle of November . . . It also meant not getting fun outdoor (summer) toys.

At most, I'll be going outside to go downtown to look for a new teapot. =D

I'll get you a nice warm phone call. ;)

Ha!

When I was in NB, I'd be happy for -11 wind chill. It often drops to -40 this time of year, and that's not even factoring in the wind chill.

Oh, man. That's...that's unimaginable to me. I think I would die.

Gads, hon, I *know*! I'm not planning on anything except movies, beads, and drinks at home this weekend.
Even if it does warm up.

But I'm in for whenever you do decide to celebrate.

Yay!

Well, happy early birthday! May it be warm and enjoyable, whatever you do.

Thank you!
