The Curse of Holiday Birfdays

This entry is a shout out to all my friends and loved ones and all those who have birthday's on/during holidays!

The pits of having a birthday during a holiday. Thanksgiving! Xmas! These two holiday's are probably the worst to have them on. Let's first empathize with our mom's though cuz regardless of the fact that it was the day we came into the world, it was the finale day of our mom's 9-month journey of pain, out-of-control hormones, 30 lbs. of extra weight and added stress to bring out big heads out into the world --- with anesthesia or not. God bless those mom's who did it without drugs. Anyways, one one hand, birthday's should really be a celebration to our mom's for all of the hardwork it took to bring us here, but let us holiday babies wallow in our own pitty for just a few minutes.

Yours truly's bday falls on Thanksgiving many times out of the year. If it doesn't fall on the Thursday, it falls during the Thanksgiving holiday. This means everyone should be at home home with their loved ones..and rightfully so.... but these babies end up having to celebrate it more or less ALONE since smart people like myself, work retail...and CAN'T go home. So this Thanksgiving, I get to go to bed early so I can wake up before dawn to prepare J.CREW for the onslaught of the biggest shopping day of the year. No beers. No cocktails. No wine. No nothing on the night of my bday if I care to function at optimal performance @ work! Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, because of these circumstances, I have taken the initiative to plan my birthday celebrations that work with group gatherings.... 3 WHOLE WEEKS IN ADVANCE! Yes, you heard it right, I'll be celebrating it in the beginning of Nov. as opposed to the end that way everyone can attend. It's also a good excuse to get everyone to fly into LA for a weekend to be insanely crazy with partying and food. We have Daj/Kat flying in from the southwest AZ with Danny and Eric...representing the 480, Libbi and friend, Mell and Annette reppin' the 510/650, respectively, and all the LA peeps reppin' the 310/213. I can't wait! I just hope I make it past 1230 am this year and NOT leave my own party cuz I need to pass out.

Cheers! More to follow!
