birthday

My birthday is tomorrow! To be honest my birthday this year has been a little weird. Normally I am on top of things like creating a birthday list, planning my outfits to wear during celebrations, planning a celebration. I love to make a whole week of celebrating with a special dinner, drinks with friends, pampering myself, buying myself a gift. This year, however, I keep forgetting about my birthday. I also had a hard time coming up with things that I wanted. I guess this is when you know you are an adult, when you don’t really need gifts because everything you want you can just buy yourself. Also my parents would much rather throw me off of a bridge than buy me the Givenchy antigona satchel bag that I want. Anyway, the things I do truly would like to have and experience are to travel, move to a new apartment, get a dog, etc; that I do not think the birthday gods will grant as a gift.

The things I do have on my list are mostly things that I need (ok, and want). I do need new luggage, my current one has seen better days… like 2008. My wallet is also beat up, a new one would be nice. You can’t have enough sports bras and tanks, I seem to always be in need of a new one. Now for my wants, I believe, are practical. A denim jacket is a staple piece, one that I haven’t had since high school. This one from Rebecca Taylor has rounded shoulders that I think is much more my style. I have been dying for the Drew shoulder bag from Chloé for years. I would like to replace my current brown booties with these suede ones. I tried on these Céline sunglasses a few months ago, fell in love with them, and now I can’t stop thinking about them. And last but not least, I want wrist weights so use when I workout at home. I really enjoy using them during workouts at different fitness studios. I can use them as extra weight with dumbbells, use them instead of weights, and wear them while I do my dance cardio.

Now that I am getting closer to my birthday (tomorrow), I am getting excited to celebrate. Tonight I am having drinks with friends and this weekend my parents will be in town to celebrate. No matter what gifts I receive, I am looking much more forward to spending time with friends and family….. sigh, I am old.
