Okay so I have a very limited amount of time left in my twenties. To be honest, less than 2 weeks. I will be 30 in 13 short days. There, I said it. I will be turning 30 on the 18th. For some reason, I am having a hard time with this. Not that I think being 30 is horrible or anything, it is just a number after all. I hope it isn't like last year when I had a mini break down that resulted in this post. Not that it was a bad thing after all, I mean I did lose 15 pounds and then turned around and gain it back plus probably a little more.
But, it just seemed like I turned 29. I mean, really, it did just seem like that and now we have to celebrate another birthday. UGH! I mean seriously when can I stop having them. Oh wait, maybe I don't want that. I am starting to sound like Bella in the Twilight series only she is complaining about turning 19. Oh to be 19 again.
Okay, so sorry about the tangent.
So here is my delima. Tell me what you think about it.
My husband keeps asking if I want a party but states that he doesn't like surprise parties, therefore it wouldn't be a surprise. Okay I get that HE doesn't like surprise parties. Not that I really want a surprise party or anything, because I don't care if it is a surprise or not. I just feel like if I have a party, then I will end up having to plan it. Like for instance, yesterday at lunch we were discussing the idea of a party and he said that if I had a party, he wouldn't know who to invite. Okay, I am already planning the list for who to invite.
Secondly, if we have a party, we would probably do it at a resturant. We can't pay for everyone's dinner so would the invited be offended if they were to pay for their dinner for MY birthday party. Then who do you invite. My friends, our mutual friends, close friends and family. Someone will surely feel left out anyway we do it.
Or we could find a place to rent and then bring in food but that can get expensive and we are trying to save more and fix a few things around the house.
Another alternative is a shopping trip for me or maybe a trip to go see a good friend in another state.
Okay, so what are your suggestions and/or opinions. Am I making a big deal out of nothing. I mean, you only turn 30 once.

Oh, girl! I feel your pain. I turn 30 this August and I don't have a clue what to do either. I really, really like parties and I have "mentioned" to my hubby and my parents that I really, really like parties. Hee, hee! We'll see. I am sure whatever you do - it will be great! And let's remember....30 is the new 20....or at least that's what I am telling myself!
ReplyDeleteDo a girls' weekend, or maybe just a girls' night. Leave the kids with all the husbands, go shopping, have a couple drinks and just do girl stuff. And turn off the cell phones so the husbands have to actually do it on their own!!
ReplyDeleteA special giftie just for you. That's all. 30 is easy. Really...I broke down too, but then I lived it, and it really isn't bad. Somehow, you become more YOU. You get more comfortable in your skin and in your thoughts and values...I don't know. 30 kind of woke me up.
ReplyDeleteoh, just do what you wanna do. close your eyes and whatever option makes you feel so yummy inside, choose that one. and Happy Birthday! =)
ReplyDeleteI like the girls weekend idea...fun! Now as for turning 30, you're getting no sympathy here and no I'm not gonna tell you how old I am...Happy Birthday to come, and enjoy you 30's they rock! Kim
