Birthday approaches

My birthday on the 23rd is causing the usual stress of feeling like something big needs to happen to celebrate the auspicious event. Of course, the usual indecisiveness has gotten us flip flopping between a napa-valley rental where we can invite our friends and a quiet weekend spent together. As we dilly dally the pressure has been growing to book something soon before all the good stuff is gone.

Should we get all our friends together - could be a lot of fun but then you must consider the coordination challenges of getting 8 busy couples to commit to anything on the same weekend, figuring out the logistics, cost... wow. No the hassle may not be worth it. Why can't I just have a secretary to deal with all that?

Or we could do a quiet evening at a nice restaurant or something like that. Although, if it is just us, then why the fancy restaurant. We could just as easily cook a nice meal. But if we do something THAT mellow, then will I wake up on the 24th thinking we never did anything on my birthday???

Who knows how this will all end. The day draws close.
