Ten for Thirty-Three

June 2, 2009 by Brandi Leave a reply »

My birthday is this week.  The Big Three-Three.  I remember when birthdays were a big deal.  Sixteen, my first car.  Twenty-one, hell bent on damaging my liver (legally).  Those were big deals.  Thirty, when you “really” become a grown-up.  Wow, was that a big day, spent in a hospital attached to various and asundry monitors, nervously awaiting Wog’s arrival?!  (Talk about plunging head first into adulthood… sheesh!)  Thirty-three.  Notsomuch. 

Even though I’ll spend the day blowing up  inflatable monkeys, counting paper plates, and buying bananas and juice boxes, all the while pretending that it doesn’t bother me  in the least that I am not propped up in some spa, reading whether or not Rob & Kristen really are a couple, while someone rubs my feet and paints my toes a racy shade of red for my night out on the town with a very hot geek, I’ll be dreaming of of a day that’s all about me… a day that includes:

1.  Weekend (or at least overnight) admission for two to Camp Spoilalot (aka Grandmama’s & Grandaddy’s)
2.  Some sort of spa package that includes mani/pedi/massage.
3.  The Mystic Tan
4.  This dress
5.  These shoes
6.  This bag
7.  This necklace
8.  Dinner here
9.  Drinks here
10.  10 to 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep

    Happy Birthday week! (Mine is this week, too, but it will involve Cracker Barrel and Pei Wei takeout.)

    The cafe menu at Bottega looks great – I may have to check it out the next time I’m in B’ham!

    Happy Birthday, girlfriend! I didn’t remember you were older than me…

    Anyway, would it be rude if I invite myself along on your birthday trip? Even if it is imaginary? I’d even dress in the exact same outfit. OK, that might be a little weird…

  3. Happy birthday week! Great list!

    Happy Day to you!!! Love your outfit! If you ever need a double date Bottega just happens to be my fav restaurant here in town! ;-) Ethan has been to J. Clydes many a time, but I still have yet to go.

    great timing! i am due for another pedi soon! don’t know who rob and kristen are, but probably b/c i am pre-occupied with jon and kate right now!!

    a monkey party, huh? that entails some sort of tropical theme, right? and tropical themes entail chilled glasses of tropical drinks, right? (for adults only, of course!) see where i am going with this?!!

    Camp Spoilalot … too cute – and probably so true!! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!!

    Happy birthday week!!! I agree with you that they just aren’t as exciting anymore. We moved in to our first house on my 30th, so I don’t think we can top that very easily either ;-)

  9. Happy Birthday! And yes that list sounds great for me too!

    I’ll be 32 on my bday so we’re a year and a few days apart. So is Wog’s birthday the same say as yours?

    I love that dress and necklace you linked to!

  11. Becky says:

    Happy Birthday, lover!
