5:30 pm today: birthday dinner with my beautiful family at the hip, new restaurant lincoln.
5 pm friday: drinks with all my portland friends at the not as new but oh so marvelous mint (avocado daiquiris, yo).  wish my lj folks could be there with me.......
3:30 pm saturday: a small, catered dinner party with the few most important people in my life at my brother's house. 
2 pm sunday: band practice.

the best way to turn 40 is to have too much do to and too many people to do it with.  i may never recover from all the fun.  and that would be bad how?
