It’s a sad, sad day here at the Breakdown house. My bestest friend and most favorite person in the whole wide world (don’t freak out friends, you are close seconds) was supposed to arrive this afternoon. She wanted to spend her 40th birthday celebrating with ME! Me! She has a ton of friends (with her personality and charm, of course she does) but she wanted to usher in her 40th year with little ole me!
And we have been so excited! Making plans and dinner reservations, buying wine and goodies. But, alas. This fucking snow storm has put the kabosh on all that fun and merriment. I held out hope – and so did she. She was on the plane, people! She even purchased snow boots! But conditions are just too bad. The restaurant where I made my reservation called this morning to tell me they wouldn’t be open today. The airport runways are iced over. And we currently have freezing rain.
So she and her husband (who I also love a bunch!) are making the best of things in their sunny hometown of San Diego. I believe they are dining al fresco and sipping cocktails to numb the pain. But we miss each other! And we’re bummed! And she really, really wanted to celebrate her big day on Bainbridge Island with the best broad she knows!
However, plans have been altered. She and her husband and hopefully their amazing kids, whom we all love, will be here for MY birthday in March! So we’ve agreed to say that it’s her birthday too and we are both turning 40! Why not, right? Lemons = lemonade.
I love you, Lisa. I hope you read this (she’s my bff and the catalyst behind this blog, but she only reads it twice a year. I refuse to nag her any more about it. I do have some pride, people).

Damn snow! Snow has ruined many of good times for me in the past, and I’m sure it will again. But like you said, when life gives you lemons make lemonade….with vodka! Sigh!

What a great blog to read on your almost Birthday! You are loved Lisa and it sounds like your birthday is going to stretch all the way to March!! You really can’t bring in 40 any better than that:)
Stupid Snow! So sorry it is snowing like crazy up in WA! My family is from Bellingham and my mom is on Camano Island is snowed in- she needed to go to a funeral and now has to miss that- damn snow!
In March you will have to do it BIG!

Thanks Pam! Sorry about your family being snowed in too
Such a bummer. We’re on Bainbridge Island and the few inches of snow may as well be feet of snow! We’re shut down. Thankfully, the power is still on!
