How did you celebrate your 50th? Did you have a party?

It's a milestone birthday and should be celebrated.

Anyone care to share?

i had a "normal" day.....i did receive some gifts and we went out to dinner, but overall it was very low key and that is how i wanted it!

Biancardi's 50th birthday coming up in a few months actually made me think of my own...a long time ago. ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$ We went out to dinner had Mexican food, came home to a huge cake baked at the bakery. It was marble cake with butter cream frosting decorated with a bouquet of roses in three different shades of purple. Besides me of course, ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$ , there was DH and our children in attendance. They sang happy birthday to me and each said something nice about me. The candles was just a 5 and a 0. They told me they didn't want wax or spit all over the cake! ${#emotions_dlg.lol}$

I had forgotten all about that until now. It's a nice memory for me.

Nothing special.

I try not to think about it because it turned out to be somewhat disappointing. In Feb, the weather here is usually cold & gloomy, one of my sisters who was working nights at the time almost fell asleep in her lunch. My other sister who lives nearby just made an appearance & when I asked her to go to a movie with me she said she'd made other plans with friends. Not being whiny about it, just pointing out that sometimes we expect too much & just set ourselves up for disappointment.

However, I do hope you have a wonderful 50th celebration!

I most likely went out to lunch with my local son and to dinner with my husband...same as my 60th.

I "celebrated" mine, unconscious in the hospital with Meningitis and Encephalitis. I missed my entire birthday. When I regained consciousness, it was the next day.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

That is an excellent memory, Rondell
