September

September: What does it mean to each of you? Back to school, leaves changing color, the end of Summer, and frickin awesome Earth, Wind, and Fire song... September means different things to different people. To me, this coming September represents a milestone in life... 25. A quarter of a century. Age has always been just a number to me, but for some reason, I'm struggling with this particular number. Due to this struggle, I have decided that a party, a fiesta, a soiree, shindig, get together, excursion, something is in order.

"Hey Kim, why the heck are you bringing this up now? Your birthday isn't for 10 weeks! You're such a silly goose..."

I'll tell you why: I want to make sure you all know that you're invited!! I must warn you: this will not be free. Much to my shagrin, money does not grow on trees (shocking, I know), and because it's my birthday and I can do what I want to, I want to do something awesome. This fun, exciting, riviting, amazing, bomb diggity thing I want to do will most likely run about $100 a person, perhaps less depending on what you choose to eat, but since it's my birthday, and I have great taste in food, you'll want to eat something good... trust me. Now before you tune me out, just listen to my plan, yes? Yes.

THE PLAN!!
-Get overly dressed up. I plan on wearing this awesome hair piece that I have been desperately looking for an excuse to wear (this was me trying it on when I first bought it. I have yet to actually wear it):

- Drive into LA (I'm hoping to have enough people go that this will involve more than one car... a girl can dream, can't she?)

- Eat at Roy's. Yummmmm....... SOOOO good!! I love this place, and the cool thing is that they have an awesome shuttle service that gets us from the restaurant to...

- A broadway musical at the Ahmanson Theatre. Leap of Faith is playing for my birthday, and I think it would be super fun to see. Review for Leap of Faith: " "Are you ready for a miracle?" World premiere musical bound for Broadway! You’ll be dancing in the aisles when con man Jonas Nightingale brings his gospel-charged tent revival to rain-starved Kansas. Based on the movie with Steve Martin, Leap of Faith boasts a brand new score from 8-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast) and a Broadway-bound production directed and choreographed by Tony Award®-winner Rob Ashford, helmer of the recent Taper favorite" Wanna hear something that just might push you over the edge? It stars Raul Esparza and Brooke Shields. Pretty sweet.
So that's the plan. I think it's an awesome plan, but then again, I came up with the plan, so of course I'm going to think it's awesome. My birthday is September 23, so I'm thinking either the 18th or the 25th for the festivities to go down. If anyone would like to be a part of this epic adventure, just let me know! I'll probably need to know by the end of the month so we can get tickets to the show. Those of you desiring to come in from out of state may be able to crash at my parents house (at that point in time they will have 2 empty bedrooms, and 3 comfy couches), you just have to let me know so I can clear it with them. You will also have my love and gratitude forever more.

I will leave you with these, to remind all of you why you love me so stinking much:

I want to go so bad! I'm not sure if we can quite yet, but I will let you know for sure soon.

You know why I love you so stinkin much (among other things)? Because you are the only person in the world who could have perfect mascara on while snorkeling. I mean, really. Of course we'd love to be there and celebrate you, but that's not in the cards for now. So, I hope it rocks.
