The Countdown Has Begun!!!

My bday is fastly approaching! I can't believe it's almost here. I have been so busy with work and life that I almost forgot about my birthday...how could I? It's only one of my favorite days of the year!!! I was slipping this year though, because usually there is something planned waaaaaaay in advance, but not this time. Thankfully, I have the best chics as friends! They truly are fabulous, so they helped me to plan a road trip for my bday. At first the plan was to go to NYC to do a double bday celebration with one of my girls, but that didn't happen for me because of work reasons. I was really upset about it at first, but hey what could I do? So, even though that didn't happen, another friend of mine suggested going to Atlanta. Now, we don't kick it in Atlanta alot so it's cool to get away from home sometimes. Especially when I'm with my girls. We are so freakin fabulous...and we always have a blast!! I guess I can get more excited about it since it's going down next weekend.

I swear, I have the best friends a girl could have. It's funny because we all have our own personalities, unique in many ways...yet we mesh so well together. We have learned alot from each other, and we're always there no matter what. We have made a pact to always travel somewhere for everyone's bday. We are blessed to be able to travel where we want, when we want. No husband, and no kids makes it easier for real :-) So, we are known as always being somewhere. I think you should enjoy your life while you can. That's exactly what we do...have a blast in life while still keeping it classy! There's a difference you know.

I haven't been shopping in awhile...let me take that back, I have been to the mall but just didn't see anything that I really liked, so I need to go buy me a cute dress or two to wear for my bday celebration. Gotta look fab for my day! There's so much to do in so little time it seems. I know one thing, this is going to be yet another memorable bday. Since I haven't been on my planning like I usually am, I tried to make out an itinerary for the weekend. I know, such a nerd. But really it's a must because we will get there and nobody will know what to do...so I'll just show them what I planned lol! Don't get me wrong, we all agree on things, no one is forced to do something they don't want to do...but I just lay down the foundation. Me and my other friend call ourselves the co-captains. We work well together and plan everything. It works cause things usually go smoothly...usually! :-)

My mom keeps asking me what I want for my bday. As I've gotten older, I really don't have an answer. It doesn't really matter to me what she gets me cause it's the thought that counts. Either way it's going to be something that I will appreciate. I'm not into making long lists of things I want. I buy things for myself that I want. I don't believe that people are obligated to give me gifts. Not even my current guy friend. He asked me too. Don't even know what to tell him. Some people would think I was crazy, but that's just how it is with me. But if someone wants to buy me something I appreciate that too!!! lol! I am thankful for everything I have...I never take things for granted...tangible or intangible.

I still have a week and a several days to go along with my life before the big day, and I really don't know how in the world I'm going to focus! We'll see what happens!
