Another year older and deeper in debt...

May 15, 2009 00:39

I miss birthdays from when I was a kid. It feels like such a non-incident now and that depresses me. I dunno. It was a good day and all, but it was just a day like any other, which is sad in my mind. Maybe it is because I am so far away from my family and such. Oh well. At least this year there was cake.

I miss those days too. I would have LOVED to spend the day making you feel like a princess. It is a special day and if my damn mouth was in better shape I could have, at least, talked to you. Nice stuff for you when you get home, though, so at least there is something to look forward to. I LOVE YOU and wish almost as much as you do that you could be home to celebrate. Two more years and I promise one hell of a birthday BASH!

Used to be that every birthday was awesome. That stopped after 16. Now it's more like every 3rd birthday is awesome, for me anyway.

I don't think I've had a particularly memorable birthday since high school. Not even my 21st was very exciting, as I was not yet at Whitman and had no friends. *sigh*

But happy birthday <3 <3!!

I am wondering about the trip. What do you think? Fly into Edinburgh on the 24 of August and fly out of London on the 10th or 11th of September? Should I get it now so I don't wuss out later when I have less money? I think I should. Can we plan the intermediate flights/travel later? Let me know. <3 aspen!! We will have a good time!!

Sounds like a plane! Flying out of London may add a day of travelling but it is easy to get to from anywhere, so it may be easiest as we haven't picked our middle destinations yet. Yeah, we don't need to pick those right now, but the sooner the better as prices will only go up. Yay!

So it is strongly looking like I will fly to Edinburgh about Tuesday the 25 (due to time zones) and should fly out Sept 11 (cuz I am wacky like that).

If there are any possible conflicts please let me know now, as I intend to order in the next 24 hours.

Yup, should work. I have a meeting in there but it is totally skippable. Yay! I can't wait.

I have been feeling that way about my birthday for years now :-( It is just another day, and I haven't spent it with my parents since undergrad!

cake is ALWAYS good!!

I feel the same way anymore--college birthdays were fun because of cake and friends and stuff, but now it's just me. Next year (or the year after, if we must), we will celebrate in style, eh?
