Birthday Woes
Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 at 11:28 pmCategory: Uncategorized
Just a bit of warning, I might whine during this post.
I’m totally confused on what I should do or heck even want. In August I’ll be 30. Yes I’m giving away the time honored secret of my age. But I need help on what I should do so I’m spilling the milk.
Let me clear things up for you a bit. My mom says that turning 30 is a big event that should have a big party. I’ve never had a big party in my honor so it sorta sounds like a great idea. No sweet 16, no graduation (I got my GED), not even party for my 21st birthday. Heck I didn’t even have a wedding reception. Ok there was the whining part.
Problem is (well there are a few of them) we will be moving soon which means I won’t know anyone. Chances are my mom/dad won’t be able to come visit. And the biggest issue of all, I want my husband to plan this (if it happens) and he is NOT the type to plan anything.
Am I wrong?
Am I wrong to want a big party? For wanting my husband to (for once) plan something for me?
Personally I would love to walk into a place and have a few of my family members waiting for me. Perhaps a little bit of dancing (if I got my husband drunk enough lol).
So what do ya’ll think? I wish for too much? What would you do or what did you do?

It’s not wrong to want that from your husband, but it’s probably wrong to expect it *g*
Your husband must have some great points. This just isn’t one of them. If you really really want a big party, tell him that you do, and then make all the plans yourself and make sure it’s just what you want. Otherwise… well, it sounds like an invitation for months of arguments.
Happy (early) birthday!!

Hehe, Karen. I’ve already mentioned what I want but he doesn’t want my help in planning it. So we shall see.
Thank you for the early bday.

Oh, Haven, it seems our DHs share more than just first names huh?
I’m not expecting a big surprise party for any of my birthdays in the future. For one thing if Rich were to plan something he would need to enlist my help, so there goes the surprise.
No I don’t think it’s a bad thing for you to want a surprise party for this upcoming birthday or any after than or even a surprise party to celebrate a milestone in your life. Don’t lose hope. I certainly, won’t
Hugs,

I’m a bit odd maybe on this. I think the bdays ending in 0 should be big where the ones 1-9 can be more private. So I’m turning 30 and dangit I want something good haha. For 31, I’ll be happy with a card and a small gift (I really like getting books haha).
He did mention that (since he’s keeping everything mum) we were going to a nice place to eat. He said he wasn’t so sure on what to do since we won’t know anyone in New Orleans. Heck we’ve lived in Dallas for almost four years and still only know the people next door lol. This just proves that I don’t go out much (typically because of me being sick).
