Dirty 30
So my birthday is tomorrow but I absolutely have nothing planned. I’m not even sure if I wanna do anything for my birthday. Is that bad? I didn’t wanna do anything this weekend cuz my husband’s twin cousins whose birthdays are today might do a little birthday get-together. I can’t do it next weekend cuz I have a baby shower to go to. Not to mention that I’m also an event co-planner of said shower. Also happening that weekend is a 1st birthday party for another set of twins. And a possible lunch get-together with a few friends from high school. If I was to postpone my birthday celebration until the weekend after that, by that time I would’ve forgotten about it already. Initially, I wanted to cross the border last weekend (which happened to be a Labour Day long weekend) to go back to Atlantic City (my new favorite place) for my birthday but obviously there was a lack in planning. I could always postpone the trip, I guess. Besides, I’ve just been there. But like I said if I postponed it for too long, I won’t feel like it’s for my birthday anymore. I also considered long driving it to Quebec City. But that’s what I wanna do for me and the hubby’s 1st anniversary, which happens to be on the same day as my birthday. But that’s probably not gonna happen either because another reason that’s keeping me from celebrating neither my birthday nor our anniversary, besides the lack of planning, is the lack of funds. The hubby got a job and in fact received training already but won’t start work until he gets the required paperwork which would take around a couple of weeks. I, on the other hand, am saving up for the new iTouch that’s coming out this month (my birthday gift to myself). Plus the fact that I’ve been jobless for a few months rendered me not to have extra money to play around with. (But if my initial plan to long drive actually happens, of course I’ll make do with what money I have. It may be tough but I’ll make do. I’m just not used to travelling on a tight budget. I’m not used to holding back when it comes to spending when I’m out of town/country. And I always go shopping when I travel. So it’ll be a challenge for me to travel with limited money.
At this time, I’ve convinced myself to completely pass up the idea of long driving for my birthday. Lol. I’ll probably do dinner with a small selective group.
I feel like I should go clubbing for my 30th birthday. You know, go out with a bang kindda. And because I don’t think I would wanna hit the clubs after this year cuz I wouldn’t wanna be one of those cougars in the club that I used to make fun of. Lol. But my not-so-baby sister is turning 19 at the end of the month and I’ll probably take her clubbing then. I’ll probably get some of my gfs to come too so it’s almost like a joint birthday celebration. Besides, most of my sister’s friends are probably not 19 yet.
