I have one in a couple of weeks, and just curious how do you spend your birthday?

Let me just say this..on August 11, Calories or Exercise will not exist and I will enjoy myself for that day.

    My birthday is on Tuesday and I have been craving a cheesesteak hoagie for the longest time and that is exactly what I am going to have on that day. My birthday will be my cheat day to enjoy myself and living to see another day....

    My birthday which was June 11th, started on the 10th! I got my hair and makeup done and then went out for Karaoke with friends and celebrated with family the next day!

    I wore a dollar store tiara to work, my hubby got me roses:flowerforyou: , had my sister and her 2 kiddos come over for pizza and Blizzards (I had tons of coupons, so we had a Blizzard smorgasbord!!), then we went to a free movie on the college campus with a big bucket of popcorn. It was fabulous! :happy:

    My b-day is coming up also in August. My mom used to fix us whatever we wanted for our birthday dinner. She lives too far to do that now. I personally don't want to use food as a reward or gift anymore. So this year I think I'll go shopping and find some clothes that fit (that's a good thing). I'm also planning to spend some of my day thinking about where I've come from and where I'm going in life. A great day to plan for my future and appreciate my past.

    Happy B-day

    My birthday is on the first day back to school :laugh: It happens every year. Probably going to spend half the day listening to professors lecture. At night I plan on enjoying myself! No calorie counting :glasses:

    My birthday's in two days. Nothing special on the day of my birthday, but going on a 3-night cruise to Bahamas and spending a few nights in Florida in August.

    I have never done anything for my birthday even as a child. For my birthday this past November, my girlfriend started the day by leaving some surprises in my house. I didn't even realize she must have done it 2 or 3 days before. She then texted me clues to find all the perfect little gifts she left me. She surprised me at the gym with a delivery of balloons. Then she had the most amazing dinner cooked for me and one final gift.

    I want to spend every birthday for the rest of my life like this. It wasn't about the gifts, it was about a woman who took the time to make me feel special and gave me thoughtful gifts., hopefully with her.
