Vicster was right - turning 40 is all about realizing that you have limited fucks and should save them for important stuff. What I originally thought was me going into an extreme bitchy streak this week was instead just me going into Fucks Conservation Mode. I have zero fucks to give these folks on FB and it now shows.

Aw, thank you! I'll be doing a 10-day whirlwind road trip with my mom, dragging her to places in California and Oregon that at least one of us has never been to before. I figure she did all the heavy lifting, growing me for nine months and then squeezing me out without pain meds. She deserves to celebrate as much as I do. :) It was either this or sit around hoping someone would throw me a surprise party. I'm more of a "make your own party" kind of person so I think I chose the better option. :D
- Hookuh Tinypants
^Excellent! :D
- AHnix (Anna Haro)
make your own party, yes! and welcome to 40. I'm still adjusting, but so far it's pretty awesome. hope you have a great birthday celebration!
- t-ra: sentimental gorgon
Well I tend to make everyone else's party as well so I had kind of been holding out hope that for once, people would actually do something for me. But being that people are...well...people...it turned out to be easier to just continue to do what I always do - do it myself! :) So far the only disappointment has been that the bakery I was going to order my birthday cake from will be closed this entire month. But eh, I shall simply drink more beer instead!

A friend of mine who turned 40 in January had a similar experience re: party planning. When is the actual day?
- Corinne L
This is soooooo going to be taken the wrong way, but here goes. I thought you were around my age, we have so much in common for there to be nearly 8 years between us. regardless Here's to many many more years having limited fucks to give.
- Not LB (or ellbeecee)
Gunneh, I always assumed you were my age. So. :D I ain't mad. That's a helluva compliment actually. :) Corinne - April 17th. :)
- Hookuh Tinypants
So that makes me young at heart or you an old fart. :D
- Not LB (or ellbeecee)
Welcome to 40.. guess this explains the lack of fucks i'm giving now...
- CW
What about banana cake from Icing on the Cake?
- Gabrielle
Indeed it does sir. Indeed it does. :D (Gunneh, you are totally young at heart)
- Hookuh Tinypants
I'll be about 250 miles away from Los Gatos on my birthday, so that won't work. :(
- Hookuh Tinypants
Lots of great food & drink options in downtown Sac...just saying... :-) Pushkin's Bakery makes some amazing cupcakes & cakes, as does Freeport Bakery...
- Corinne L
Unfortunately I'll be on the road starting the 10th and not returning home until the 19th so the time for alternate birthday plans has passed entirely. It will be me and my mom in a tent on the coast on my birthday. :)
- Hookuh Tinypants
I have even fewer at 50. Just sayin'
- Jim #teamFFrank
See, I'm a believer in celebrating for the entire month of your birthday plus the entire time the sun is in your zodiac sign. Hence approximately 45-50 days of celebrating.
- Corinne L
Nah, that's a little much for me. I'm good with just the single day of celebrating. :)
