Today is my birthday.
I don’t know why, but I have always dreaded my birthday.
I love other people’s birthdays so much more. They are definitely way more fun.
But yet, that day comes around every year, and I feel like I need to do something special and be happy and celebrate. But I don’t really want to.
I have the best mom in the world, that always makes it extra special. But besides that, I just want to hide all day.
This year I will try to be more positive...
My 27th year was a good one, full of wonderful milestones.
- I graduated with my MBA
- I got promoted at work
- I moved in with the love of my life
- We had many friends and family visit us in our new home
- I had both of my siblings living in the same state as me… for the last time for a while.
- I got addicted to Netflix… and getting an Amazon.com package every day.
- I started this blog
Even though I will spend all day thinking how much closer I am to 30, this year I will be happy about my birthday because I know there is so much to look forward to on my road to 28.
Bring it on.
How do you feel about your birthday?
Happy Birthday! I celebrated my birthday yesterday, and it was good this year! Usually it makes me a little sad knowing that I am getting older…but it helps to focus on the positive!
Thank you and happy birthday to you too! July seems to be a popular month!
Happy Happy Birthday!! I’ve only gotten less excited about my birthday in the last few years because it feels like time is flying by and I’m not as accomplished as I would like to be. But then I realize that I will probably ALWAYS feel that way! Congrats on everything you accomplished in your 27th year. Those are WONDERFUL things! Happy Birthday, hope you have a fabulous day!
Thank you! I know it, time is flying by way too fast. I think everyone feels that way and that they haven’t done everything they wanted to do and pressed for time, birthday’s just bring out that feeling. Well maybe everyone, except Justin Beiber.
Don’t hide, go out and shine!
It was your 26th year that brought you all those amazing things!!! I love you and I’ll call you later!!! =)
No it was my 27th, today marks the first day of my 28th year!
Happy Birthday girl! Enjoy your day. 28 was a good year for me (I got engaged) so I’m thinking it’s going to be a super fab year for you too!
Thank you!!
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful, random, amazing day!!!
I kinda feel the same way about my birthday. Mine never seems to work out, so I always dread it a bit too. But it always works out amazing, and so will yours!
Thank you! I’m glad it’s not just me, but it was a good day!
Sto lat!! I are a year younger than me! I dread my birthday on my thirtieth I will be in a tub with a bunch if razors or drinking windex …haunt quite decided. Wszustkiego najlepszego
Haha yikes! Good to know I’m not alone… But please don’t do that!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Not everyone can say they are blessed with another year in this wonderful world, so keep that head up – your birthday marks much more than a great 27th year. You’re living a fabulous life… and here is another year to prove it. Happy, happy day this is.
xo.
Wise words. Thank you!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday sweet girl! This is pretty funny because I’ve always enjoyed other’s birthdays more than my own too- so obviously I’m extra excited for yours
Here’s to another fabulous year on lots more blogging! Speaking of blogging, I’m so happy that I found you through this- your one of my faves and I’m glad to know you (even if it’s only over the internet!) and count you as a friend
xx
Thank you, Nina! You are the sweetest and I definitely agree!! It’s funny how blogging does that! I’m lucky to have “met” you
Happy birthday – hope you have an amazing year! I also tend to prefer other people’s birthdays because getting older feels so strange, but this year I’ve decided to focus on the fact that it’s better than the alternative and it went much better. Where did you get your MBA? I am starting mine this fall!
Haha very true that it’s better than the alternative! That’s why I liked that quote about the statistics of people with birthdays
I did my MBA through Penn State, how about you?
I am going to Chicago Booth (moving to Chicago from Canada to go there). I love your statistics quote as well… getting older can be hard, but I think this year I finally realized it can also be easy and I was definitely the one making it difficult on myself. Sounds like you really enjoyed it this year with your trip to NY!
