The holiday season is BUSY for all of us.\u00a0 Too busy if you ask me.\u00a0 We save all of our gift giving, time with loved ones, cards, hellos, parties, hugs, dress up, baked goods for one month of the year – and before you know it, it’s over, January is here and we wait 11 months to do it all again.<\/p>\n
But this January – as cold and blustery as it will be, is also kinda special for me.\u00a0 I’m turning 35.\u00a0 And as much as I can’t believe that I’ll actually be 35, I’m looking forward to it.\u00a0 I’m the first of most of my friends to reach the milestone and I think it’ll be fun to be the first one through the gate.\u00a0 I mean, I have no control over it, so why not embrace it.<\/p>\n
And now to try to come up with something fun to ring it in.\u00a0 When I turned 30, Dan et al planned a Dress-up Magnum party for me (and Gary who was turning 29 the next day – sorry, Gary, am I giving away your secrets?)\u00a0 It was awesome.\u00a0 Most of the bravest boys grew moustaches for the event, Michelle made a giant ‘pin the moustache on Magnum game board and we got to wear Hawaiian shirts in January.\u00a0 I had a ball.\u00a0 And I have pictures to prove it.<\/p>\n
Now, I don’t want to compete with Magnum, but I’m hoping to do something fun, unique and surrounded by my favourite people this year.\u00a0 Not only will it be fun to make fun of me – age jokes never go out of style\u00a0– we need something to look forward to after the holidays pass and sadly, \u00a0to make us feel better about being smack dab in the dead of winter.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Don’t we?\u00a0<\/p>\n
OK.\u00a0 Time to brainstorm.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m\u00a0open\u00a0to suggestions…Anyone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
