    It depends if I'm alone or not. And by alone I mean everyone I know has plans and don't want to hang out or do anything. I don't mind celebrating me once a year. Even if it's something small.

    This year is a milestone b'day for me so I'm planning a trip.

    30?

    Riiiiight. :flowerforyou:

    I haven't really been excited for my birthdays since I was really young. I always tell everyone though just for that "Well, happy birthday!" I know they don't care but I like for my existence to be acknowledged. One time I tried to invite a lot of people on fb to go to a club and party with me and realized I didn't really have any friends; or any that I knew would show up for sure. But turns out some girls I went to high school with did show up to the club, and it was one of my best birthdays. I'd like to celebrate every year but I'm still working on getting friends to invite.

    I'm 63, so I don't go out and binge drink. Instead, I invite my friends and family over for a BBQ and binge drink at home.

    I haven't properly celebrated a birthday since I turned 21 (and I wouldn't call that a celebration so much as an excuse to binge drink). What do most of you do on your birthday?

    I usually just buy something I want and pretend the day doesn't exist.

    Where do you go? What do you do? Do you even celebrate it after the age of 21? Is it worth celebrating?

    I have questions.. give me answers.

    I always celebrate my birthday. Mine usually falls on or around the Columbus Day holiday and my kid's fall break so we usually take a long weekend trip to San Diego for some beach time and it also kinda serves as a last hurrah before winter sets in.

    On the home front, I usually have my very close friends over for a cookout and beer...pretty low key, but fun. My mom always does something at her house...usually a Sunday brunch for the family celebration.

    I'm 43...

    Happy Birthday @CanesGalactica !
    I recently had a birthday and kind of pretended that it didn't exist. I acknowledged the people who wished me a Happy Birthday and then went on my way. I did do a little shopping, but it was because I had a coupon and gift cards so it wasn't really birthday shopping, just a coincidence. I just really wasn't in the mood to go out and party or even really see people. I even avoided phone calls. I think I am turning into some sort of weirdo

    Thanks! I think I settled on pizza (we had a nice lunch at an oyster bar here), bookstore and celebratory cupcake (for me). Husband's birthday is in a few days, so I don't know what he'll pick! Probably Mexican food.. or BBQ and more books. I might sneak off to the fabric or second hand stores tomorrow to do some "shopping" just because I haven't since we moved here.

    I'm using today as a milestone: I'm gonna enjoy my terrible food choices and knuckle down tomorrow and for a year after that and see how much I change (physically and mentally) in a year. A personal project, I guess. :)

    Is that annoying for you? Or do you not really care?

    Last couple of birthdays I haven't done anything special since I live on an island and have no friends here. A couple of family members will send me a box or a card, so that's nice.

    Sounds amazing!!! I'd like to go to Vegas one day, maybe when the kids are grown up.
