It's been a busy busy beginning to the new year. On Tuesday, I had an interview. On Wednesday, I went to New Student Orientation at school. On Thursday I had another interview. Next week I start nursing school. Two days a week for 1 1/2 hours. So it will be two days a week of work-school-work. At least for now. A little birdy told me that I would be getting a job offer. I don't know which job it will be for but either of them is a good fit for me right now. I will for sure post about it when everything falls into place.
Two weeks from today is my birthday party. It's the 11th anniversary of my 29th birthday. it's going to be a gathering of friends and family with lots of fun and laughter and drinking and good times. Unfortunately, one of my very best friends is unable to attend, but I've been promised a make up party at a later date. That actually works out good because our birthdays are very close so we will get a private party sometime in the future. (LOVE YOU!)

What things do you have planned for the new year???

Who's Coming To My Birthday Party
Many of you may know that I will be turning 40 soon (69 days!). The other day, I told my girls that if they were not going to be having a party for me that I needed to know so that I could plan it for myself. Not a "bring me presents because I'm turning 40" but just friends and family getting together for a good time. They said that they were planning to have a party but hadn't talked with their dad about it yet. I just asked that they let me know. I won't be offended because Fisher is not much of a party guy or a planner so if they can't pull it off, it's totally okay.
Somehow, this party plan of mine morphed into "if I could invite anybody to my party who would it be"? Well, you know that Rick Springfield is at the top of the list. And I want Daughtry to perform. Also, Patrick Dempsey, David Boreanaz, Josh Kelley and Katherine Heigel, I can't remember who else was on the list, but I did write the list on a chalkboard, so I'll trying to take a photo to post.
Then it was decided that if they can't really come (but who wouldn't want to come to a 40th birthday party for me?!?!?) then we would just put up head shots of all the famous people I want to invite as the decorations. The girls are loving this idea and are adding to the list almost daily. So who knows what kind of party it will be but I know there will be a lot of famous faces there! :-)
So, I just want to extend the invite: Rick, Patrick, David, Josh, Katherine: if you are free on January 22, 2010, you are MORE than welcome to attend the above mentioned party. Email me for the details!
Okay, so I wrote down all the "people" I want to invite. Here's the list: Rick Springfield, Peter Facinelli (and family!), Daughtry, David Boreanaz, Sandra Bullock, Patrick Dempsey, Darren Hayes, Rob Thomas, Indina Menzel and Taye Diggs, and Josh Kelley and Katherine Heigl. (all names in purple are musicians so I think we'd be having one hell of a concert!)
Recently added: Creed. I'm getting over my dislike of Scott Stapp, especially if it means seeing Mark Tremonti do his thing on the guitar!

Pay It 40...a birthday gift to your favorite charity
Some of you may know that next year I will turn 40. I don't feel 40 and I don't think I look 40, but the calendar tells me it's true. I wanted to do something that wasn't about me. I wanted to figure out a way to give back. I wanted to make a difference, even if it's just a little one. I have a few friends that will be turning 40 soon as well. In order to make it less traumatic for us and a definite plus for somebody else, we came up with the "Pay It 40" campaign. Sort of a play on the "pay it forward". I will create a new blog/website with links for all the charities.
In the spirit of giving, I'd like to open up the Pay It 40 campaign to anybody who is turning 40 from November 1, 2009 to October 21, 2010. What you have to do is: 1) leave a comment here with your name and birthday, 2) chose your favorite charity (if you know a link, post that as well) and then when the new blog is up and running you can tell all your friends.
Let me know if you have any questions. Please feel free to share this information with others. I would LOVE to have 40 people participate.
