This week hosts my birthday, March 11th.
I am nine months pregnant, my husband has been carried away on frequent business trips, my heart says it is time to celebrate. So we are.
This week on c jane's Guide to Provo I am going to be writing about this week's daily celebrations. I hope our trial of enjoyment will catch on and will inspire you to try out some celebrating too. I mean, it is practically spring-- one reason to get out and party.
But first things first, on Tuesday March 9th Communal restaurant will be hosting their inaugural dinner club. Basically it is a night where the Communal chefs, Joe and Colton get to stray from their menu and show-off their culinary skills in a four-course dinner. Paired with excellent food, will be a brilliant art show from Brain Kershisnik. So basically, the best of Utah County in one night. There are two seatings, one at 6pm and the other at 8pm.
If you'd like to join me, I am going to the 8 o'clock seating. In fact, I have a reservation for two. Want to be my guest? You have to promise only two things, one) you let me ask as many questions as I want about you and your life, and two) you aren't boring. Oh, and also three) you aren't a pervert. I hate eating with perverts, totally ruins the taste of the meal. But boring perverts? Oh golly, the worst.
The first interested (and local) person to respond with the correct answer to this question wins a dinner with me at Communal's Dinner Club on Tuesday night at 8pm (I know, could life get any more thrilling?) :
While I have lived in Provo most of my life, I moved to Provo from the Bay Area with my family. But before that, I was born in this west of the Mississippi state ________.

Ummmm....just a guess-Missouri?
Missouri was my 1st guess, so now I'll say Colorado.
arizona?
I'm going to venture my guess, and say Idaho.
My first answers were taken soooo.... New Mexico. (Joseph is the king of desserts, perfect for your birthday :)
I'm not local so won't guess. However, Courtney, birthdays after 30 are supposed to be celebrated for an entire month, not just one week.
Happy Birthday as well as happy birth day.
Best,
Bonnie
So bummed I'm not local. Would have loved to celebrate with you. I am turning 33 this coming Sunday! We could have had a wonderful time :) But, happy birthday to you!
Wyoming? My Bday is Tuesday!! I wanna come.
is this a trick question?
i say utah.
Washington. My husband goes out of town when I'm nine months pregnant and I think it should be illegal.
I really just wanted to say that we share the same Birthday...March 11th! So fun. Isn't it a great day?
Texas? I tried to do some quick searching background on your father- but the only info I got was that he lived in nearly every state in the union and Washington D.C.I hope I guessed right?
Guessing Oregon
I'm not local, but happy birthday! I am also a March 11 baby :)
Dear CJane, I just wanted to wish you a marvelous birthday and a spectacular birthday week. Given that I've been reading your blogs for well over a year now, I was shocked to 'find out' that your birthday is the day after mine (although, I am one year older). And I am thrilled that you, too, celebrate your entire birthday WEEK...not just the day. One day of celebrating is just not enough...at least that's the way I see it! So, birthday girl, sure hope your week is brilliantly fabulous!
I'm so not boring, I'm so pregnant, and I was so born on the best birthday ever 3/11!!!! I haven't eaten a good meal in weeks! I am totally taking a guess- Nevada. Please be! It sound like a dinner date from heaven!!!
P.s.Second child too..... See how non boring our night could be?
I'm not local but my birthday is this week too - 3/14! :) It's fun being thirty-something. Have a great birthday week!
I'm going to say kansas, but I really have no idea. Too bad though because I'd love to meet you and I love communal!
Idaho? Just a guess. We could totally have fun!
I guess California, but since I don't think I meet the whole "not boring" requirement . . .
minnesota, maybe?
Montana, perchance.
I'm gonna say Oklahoma.
My guess is New Mexico!
I can't come down from Logan, but just wanted to say HOW FUN! My bday is 1 month before yours (exactly) and I'll say that 33 has been fun so far! :) Love my palindrome year! :)
louisiana...
how about Wisconsin?
nebraska?
I am from England so I have the hardest time with my states...but lets say Lousiana?!?! (is that west of the Mississippi?)
Indiana?
Happy Birthday this week! :) My guess would be Texas! YE HAW!
Missouri, but I am in Kentucky, so I wouldn't be able to have dinner with you....but would absolutely love to :)
Have a great birthday Week!!!
Washington
Iowa. just a guess. I lived in the bay area for 18months. loved it.
Indiana
I have a son who turned 4 today, and a daughter who will be 9 tomorrow. What a fun week to celebrate!
Happy Birthday!
Lisa in CA
yay! How could I have not known we share the same birthday? I've been a reader for a lonnnng time! Happy Birthweek.
Texas?
South Dakota. It's the only state I can think of that hasn't been said. I'm dying to try Communal especially with my favorite blogger!
Ok, I know this may be a "no,no", but I'm convinced we would have a blast...I'm gonna take a second guess and say Arkansas. It's directly west of Mississippi state and I think if you were born somewhere like Hawaii or Alaska we might have heard of it by now.
P.S. Pregnant, Positive, NOT a Perv!
Nebraska?
Any that I'd have guessed have all been taken, so I'll say.... Michigan?
can i change my guess? Nevada?
Not a local but so wish I was. Moved away 18 mths ago and trying to make it back there by summer. But my guess, Utah
I'll guess Montana.
Have a great birthday week off. Sorta. Kinda. Hope you get a baby for your birthday. How cool would that be?
North Dakota?
Happy Birthday
Hmmm, I think we're down to just Alaska and Hawaii, so I'm going with the nice warm thought of Hawaii. Happy Birthday week!
Stacey wins! Denver, Colorado indeed.
I am honored that you'd all try. But I am guessing it wasn't dinner with me, but dinner at Communal.
I see how it is.
Gah! I knew it was Denver. Just got to the post a little late today. I really do want to eat with you...sometime?
I have no clue- but my son, Teegan, turns two on March 11th. I think it is a GREAT day to have a birthday!
I have no idea what state, but I did relocate from Ventura, CA the Bay Area too--I spent 30 years in Berkeley. Now to the jest of my comment . . . I hope you will make a visit to your relatives in Western Washington and then have a contest that I can participate in. LOL

Happy Birthday.
I'm going to guess Oregon. I'm sure someone else all ready guessed and won, but I would love to have dinner with you, and we would have lots of fun talking about everything. I have lots to say!!!
Sad day for me - all the states west of the Mississippi have been guessed. :) I hope you have a happy birthday! You are my very favorite blog to read, and I read a LOT of blogs. At the risk of sounding cliche, I'm going to tell you anyways that you're so real and I feel like we've been friends for a long long time. And you make me miss Provo so badly! I spend years there while going to BYU, and now I have very fond memories. I think it's one of my very favorite places in the world come springtime. Thank you for sharing your gift of writing with us!
I'm going to say Kansas. By the way, I'm from the Bay Area. I lived in Dublin and my whole family is down there in various cities, just where did you guys live?
Did you know Cjane that you share your birthday with World kidney day? And march is kidney cancer awareness month...
Just thought I'd let you know. You can now celebrate healthy kidneys while eating your cake :).
Happy Birthday.
I wish you a very Happy Birthday.
I am going to miss you this week though, as I was looking forward to your writing and lots of smiling and laughing on my end, as I face my oldest child turning 30 this week. 30! Where did the time go?
I am sure your Mother thinks of you the same way I think of my birthday baby, that there is no one better and I am so blessed to have been chosen as his mother. He is such a joy and I will be seeing him next week in Austin, where his band will be performing at SXSW.
Happy birthday, and enjoy your week.

Maryland.
Virginia.
