Birthday Lists

His birthday is next week, and while I know I’m not first in line to celebrate with him, (he has other obligations that must be met before me) he told me today that we would talk tonight and this weekend and work something out so that we could celebrate sometime next week.  He made it sound as though it was important to him that we get together and celebrate his birthday together.  So, while I may not be the top of his People-I-HAVE-to-celebrate-with I get the feeling I may be close to the top of the People-I-WANT-to-celebrate-with list.
