Celebrate the Small Things – Party Planning! (#15)

January 9, 2015January 22, 2015 ~ eclecticalli

A weekly Blog-Hop, hosted by VikLit , Diana Wilder, LG Keltner, Katie, CaffeMaggieato where we celebrate those small things. [Edit: Now hosted by Lexa Cain — thanks for taking this on!~]

Today I celebrate the coming together of birthday plans for next weekend. I took my actual birthday off (the 16th), so I have a four day weekend!

I’ll be hosting an Un-Birthday Party Blog-Hop Party – which I’m excited about (though that frame story needs some work… lots of work).

I celebrate the events I’m planning to undertake with my friends and family that weekend. A few breakfasts, wine tasting, dinners, visiting time, and a party at a video-arcade (total throwback, the arcade is one I used to visit as a kid) is in the works. I’m looking forward to it!

This week I got my license renewed, and (not counting the ten minutes I waited outside the DMV before they opened) it only took 15 minutes! That’s certainly something to celebrate as well.

What are you celebrating today?

Working to embrace and face the challenges inherent with following your dreams, and writing the journey.

Eclectic Alli is my personal blog, with reflections on writing, life, theology, history, or whatever may catch my thoughts. Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and Instagram round out my online presence, and I try to do little bits different with each of them. View all posts by eclecticalli

  Thank you! I haven’t given myself quite so much of a “whatever I want to do” kind of break for a long time — I think the anticipation of it will make the next week go pretty quickly!

A quick DMV visit sounds too good to be true! Definitely worth celebrating!

  I know! I got there about 10 minutes before they opened, so I was fourth in line 🙂

Your coming birthday party sounds like it will be full of exciting events! I expect pictures of all that wonderful stuff so those of us who sit at home on our birthdays can live vicariously. 😉

  I have had a history of unfortunate birthdays (though, in recent years they’ve mostly just been kinda mellow and not particularly bad) so I’m looking forward to it this year — I think I’ve lined up enough good stuff with awesome people that it’ll be a fun time 🙂
