At Christmas I will be celebrating my 40th birthday. This weekend, some old friends from high school came together to celebrate all of ours. We've been talking about doing something for months. It's just three of us, but it seemed significant... we should celebrate it together. We talked about taking a trip or doing something big. When it came down to it, we went low key. Just a night in the quarter in New Orleans.
Saturday we met up and it was nice. Low key. Relaxing. We enjoyed dinner and conversation. Never even made it to Bourbon Street. We were too busy playing scrabble back in the apartment over champagne. A bottle we couldn't even finish, mind you.
Yes, we were pretty lame. More than anything... I think we were all tired. Each of us had been experiencing our own challenges lately and really need just some calm conversation. And, that was very nice.
We ate and drank and talked. And, it showed this week on the scale. I was up 3 pounds!
Oh well... you only turn forty once... right?
