How Can Boomers Get Ready For a Birthday?
Fellow Boomers, don't you just love, ugh, those articles, birthday cards, and other banners that announce you know you are old when..
..
Tell me, do you want to know when you are old? I didn't think so.
Do you want to see lights flashing, confetti falling from the sky, and bumper stickersproclaiming your next phase in life? How 'bout a boomer birthday cake with a blow torch instead of candles? I didn't think so, but you cannot stop those well meaning younger chicks just itching to give you a 50th birthday party.
Plan of action:Tellfriendsexactly one year before the blessed day to begin saving money for your birthday gift.
As this is such a big deal birthday, you are expecting expensive presents from them at your surprise birthday party.
Yes, I did this.
The expressions on my friends' faces were priceless.
LT would not let me go through with my party plans.
On a more somber note, my advice to fellow boomers: Remember what we learned many years ago in our first girl scout meeting, be prepared.
Listen politely without comment as others rant, rave and deny the signs; you, however, take note of the signs.
Get out the Evernote and take a few notes if
You allow them to place you there.
I am looking forward to getting up early, jumping in my custom made pink hover-round, humming all the way to hollywood with some gel inserts for my fellow models;-) Listen, a big market is opening up for seniors hitting the red carpet in the next ten years.
Final tip- I keep my plastic surgeon's phone number under favorite's on my IPhone- in a large FONT.
Ok, kidding about the font, but Dr.
Widenhouse's phone number is always with me.

Get out the Evernote and take a few notes if
- You think about how many hours of sleep you will get BEFORE even considering an invitiation to go out
- You hum when you drive
- You plan all your run around errands for one day
- You read the obituaries
- You wait for the newspaper delivery boy
- You don't need an alarm clock; you wake up at 5 am everyday
- Sentences begin "I remember when...
" - You worry about your fiber intake
- You purchase Miralax in bulk
- Your wish list includes a pink hover-around
You allow them to place you there.
