My husband and I were born three weeks apart, and our plan had always been to throw a joint party for our 40th birthdays.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Birthdays are just weird! I like to have something simple like a dinner with friends and family if possible.
I had a birthday party with my family and friends at a house, and Chipotle catered. It was beautiful.
When I did get home this last time, we had all these plans to go out. And then we hardly stepped outside because the time together seemed too precious.
We all went to Kelsey's wedding, and yeah, we go to parties. We also go to each other's house. A group of us got together over at Kelsey's and just read through some plays just for the fun of it. That may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but we had a good time.
I find weddings too procedural sometimes. I just want a big, fun party.
My father was 65 when I was born so we didn't have much time together.
The perfect party for me is having six to 12 people for dinner Friday or Saturday - good, fun friends, a lot of artists. I have a beautiful deck that looks over the canyon and Los Angeles on one side, so it's very pretty at night. It's a great opportunity to catch up with friends.
Before Christmas, I host a party for our kids and all their friends. We love to make a mess while decorating gingerbread houses.
The summer of 2002 at the Wilson birthday party I met Van Dyke again and I made plans to have dinner with him.
I had arranged a birthday party for him and my children, who are all Aquarians. Instead, we got married. I ran out of excuses. It was just us and my children.
