Celebration overload!
October and April seem to be my most birthday and anniversary heavy months – every week has multiple friend or family member’s special days – and some of them fall on the same day!
This usually makes me feel overwhelmed, but somehow, I’ve managed to plan ahead for April and already have a lot of gifts at home, or, ordered (or reminders in my calendar to pick up, ha)! Woot woot!
I especially enjoy shopping for Luca (who turns five in April!)!
Although, all this planning ahead has made me realize that a few of the friends who have birthdays in April are people I talked to about doing something together for Christmas instead of exchanging gifts… and we still haven’t done anything. Or even planned it.
Blah. I suck.
Well… as long as we plan that special date and do it before next Christmas, it counts, right?
Ha.
I know that no one is holding it against me that I haven’t planned things. I’ve been trying to keep as much free time on my schedule as possible for house stuff, teaching, and (yeah…) running… and I feel bad booking my calendar up! But it’s probably okay to set up a few things here and there… right?!

Absolutely!! 😉
July is like that for me too. Wedding anniversary and Martina’s 30th. I’m already panicking ha ha. Look at you all prepared, I like the shirt. I think before Christmas would be ok, its never good to be too predictable, their presents/time with you will be a surprise 🙂
Get prepared! LOL!!! 🙂
Ahh, I like the way you look at that. Ha! 🙂
Go Kim, that is a good feeling when you are right on top of it! High five 🙂
You always have so much on your plate, I hope you can keep the stresses to a minimum with all the celebrations this season. It sounds like you’re well-prepared though; nice job stockpiling gifts!!
A friend and I said we’d do something together instead of Christmas gifts, and I don’t think we’ve ever done the dedicated just-us thing yet. I don’t mind too much though; just deciding not to do gifts together was such a joy because it took some stress away from the holiday season. I’m sure some of your friends feel the same way, so no need to feel like you suck!!!
I do feel like that, lately! Luckily, I have a vacation coming up in June where I can chiiiiil the eff out 🙂
It was such a relief at Christmas time to discuss that – that was gift enough in its own. Ha! Maybe my friends do feel the same way!!!
You don’t suck!! Any time this year TOTALLY counts 🙂
Phew! :-*
