Celebrating Milestone Birthdays

Posted: 9/10/06 at 5:56pm

I went to a party last night for a friend who was celebrating her 50th birthday. She made a big thing out of it with wine, lavish hors d'ouevres, black balloons, a DJ etc. I turn 50 in the spring and I can't see doing that. I celebrate everyday when I wake up in the morning and I am alive. What do ther people think?

I totally believe in celebrating one's birthday. I make a big deal of each one, and a bigger deal of milestones.

My mommom's friend just turned 90 and he had a pretty big party.
I know people always complain about old drivers but he STILL drives. And he drives better than many people! He doesn't go slow like the stereotypical older person.

His brain is functioning better than some 20 year old's I know. It's amazing!

Yeah, but how are his reflexes?

Great! Seriously!!

He's never been in an accident. He excersizes everyday and swims once in a while.

I have a friend who's never been married and never plans on it, nor does he have any children (and also never plans on it). He turns 40 next year and plans on having a big formal party to celebrate it - much the same as you would with a wedding reception. He even plans on registering for gifts, since he'll never have an actual wedding reception. (It makes me jealous because I didn't actually think to register for my 30th!)

I think it's an incredible idea and I hope it works out for him. However, he's a spurious, capricious, contrary little man, and I think it would be an absolute riot if he ended up falling in love and marrying someone after the party but before his 42nd birthday. Knowing him, I could easily see it happening.

And no one grew into anything new, we just became the worst of what we were."

I wish I had the balls to register for gifts for a birthday!
