Sunday is my birthday. My last birthday in my 20s. For some reason, I think turning 30 will be better than turning 29, but I have no rational thinking to back that up.
About 3 months ago I went semi-vegetarian. I gave up meat for Lent, and have since rarely eaten any meat (chicken, beef, pork) and found that I am pretty ok with my new diet. I have my reasons and I wont bore any of you with them. No worries. So my Husband scheduled a birthday dinner Friday night with friends. At Fogo de Chao. A churrascaria (all you can eat meat on carved from a stick). He has been dying to go. I had the $20 salad bar. It was a fantastic salad bar, but $20? A little steep. I think it is subtle payback for setting our wedding date and subsequently our wedding anniversaries 3 days prior to his birthday.
Also, I have felt teterribly guilty all week long. I can't for the life of me come up with something to ask my husband for as a birthday gift. He has a stellar reputation as a great gift giver, and he is really tormented by my lack of participation in continuing his streak. Any other given month I could probably think of at least 5 things I wanted to go splurge on, but this month? I can think of nothing. I hate to waste a good opportunity, but I am truly stuck. How can I convince him the best birthday gift ever was given by ABC in scheduling the Lost series finale on my birthday?
I do actually have a wish list in mind, but I don't think he will be rushing out the door to purchase:
Liposuction
A semi-permanent housekeeper
An all you can eat mac and cheese buffet that appears nightly and cleans itself up
A gnome to drive my car to the washtub once a week
A baby to hold and squish and love (but not actually my child, preferably a child I can hand off to someone that owns it when they cry)
Chips, queso, and a margarita... actually, he may be able to come through on this one.
ps... I may have cheated on ShoeDazzle and ShoeFab, but KK cheated first... to be updated tomorrow with pictures!
Happy weekend everyone!
