27 years...11 months...27 days...
Give or take, of course, accounting for leap years and lost or gained seconds here or there depending on rotations and axis etc etc. Such marks my time amongst the Earth dwellers. My, what fun it has been! Well, the last 10 years anyway. Up 'til then I could take or leave it...brooding discontent is the mode du jour of chubby nerdy children who would rather watch Johnny Carson than play with Barbies and whose sporting ability ranked with that of a sedated armadillo.
But, I must say, I DO enjoy my birthday! I mean, it's your day! OK, ok , so you do share it with a few bajillion people but whatEV. It really gives you an excuse to be an attention fiend and be adorned by loving fans the world over, hehehehehe. I have had some UBER bad ones though, AND UBER good ones, last year in Chicago ranking among the best (Keane, twice, and half price Nine West sandals, IF you need reminding). To be really honest I most love the whole concept of a birthday purely for it's party planning potential!! Ahh the intricacies of pulling in all manner of gastronomic and aesthetic enjoyment for the purpose of merriment amongst the masses. Good times. Good GOOD times!
Which brings me to the fact that I am this year theoretically deterring my birthday until arrival in Barcelona, to which I have been counting down for months and am now arriving at DAY 9 (is the ball dropping in Times Square????). AND, not only are there a GAZILLION plans to go out and frolic in good Spanish custom, there are now plenty of plans for some FABTASTIC dinner parties! And, my latest concept for la piece de la resistance of accoutrements: strawberry mint juleps...they are SO RIGHT NOW! Bring on the Kentucky Bourbon. GP has charged me with the menu and decor, he the venue and raw materials. Let us invite the travelers from afar to imbibe and partake in the art of the mediterranean nocturnal dining experience!
In the meant time, stupidcrazybusy days at work, and 3 more till it's up up and away in my beautiful balloon (read: KLM flight) to Geneva where I will most likely be setting up chairs and going on some Lake Geneva tour on the 19th. Joy..rapture...Oh we're also watching the plant grow, aren't we X? LOLOL. Good Ballen times.
Off to scout for more dinner ideas. Good thing the Strawleps are universally complimentary.
