Well, it's my birthday! This last year has been pretty intense and I have to say I'm glad to be moving forward. I'm not one to make an especially big deal out of my birthday. Or rather, I always think maybe I will make a big deal, but then the closer it gets to the actual day, the less amped I get.
In previous years, I've been working, so it was easier to let it slide. But this year I actually got my birthday off from work. And the Mister was supposed to be home! We still weren't going to do anything crazy, but we were going to go out to dinner and maybe find some Halloween shenanigans to get up to. But then the hurricane happened and the Mister is still stuck in Florida and he won't get back until after I've already left to go back to Minneapolis, so I won't see him until I come home again on the 8th. Bummer!
Instead, a couple of girlfriends are taking me out to dinner, so I'll get to put on a cute outfit and have a few drinks. Tomorrow morning I'm planning to make myself a special breakfast and then take a walk to Starbucks to enjoy my birthday drink (I'm thinking a Salted Caramel Mocha!) and get started on my NaNoWriMo novel! I wish the Mister were here, but I know at least I can look forward to a delivery of flowers because the Mister ALWAYS sends flowers because he is awesome like that.
And since I am now every second closer to turning 30, here is my finalized 30 Before 30 List!
