First things first - I wanted to thank you for showing your love on my post before the LQ update. It was really nice to see a few newbies and of course my "old faithful" blogging friends.
Today I researched my past birthday blog posts. LAME! The first birthday that I had while blogging went completely unnoticed. The second year I blogged through my birthday. Want to know what I did for my birthday last year? Woke up too early, crashed on the couch and felt entitled to a day without child.
Pathetic. How does an extrovert miss two BIG opportunities for unabashed loving on herself? This year I am determined to do it differently.
I have a husband who will write a blog post about how wonderful I am - he doesn't know that he's doing that yet, but husbands are supposed to do those things, aren't they? Then I was thinking of doing something with the wonderful friends that I've made here in Hobart.
the problem: I am at a loss as to what to do. I have a feeling that I will just be too tired to feel like doing anything. So, do I just sleep for my birthday or spend quality time with friends and family (if yes, what should I do with them?)? My brain is fried - I need YOU to make the decision for me.
As an incentive to make my decisions for me, I'll randomly pick a comment from this post on my birthday and send that person a chocolate care package. You know you need it!

I'd love to hear from the dear husband. Even if you don't do it for your birthday, it'd be fun.
YES! You SO need to celebrate! I'm not good with ideas though! Ummm, you put on awesome cooking parties...(I would so love to take home an apron and chef's hat, do you make them in big head size?! Hehe) Oh but if your feeling tired then go with that and have a pamper party where you get everyone to pamper and spoil you! Whatever, you should do something! Just think, a party blog is heaps more exciting than an I did nothing for my birthday blog!
Okay (don't laugh), we've recently started going to a karaoke place with some friends and it is SO FUN. The word spreads and our group keeps getting bigger. On Saturday, there were 17 of us there, and it was a blast. So try that, you'll have fun.
I found this post on "The Power of Mums" website: www.powerofmoms.com/articles/what-i-really-want-for-mothers-day.html
I think you'll get a few ideas. For example, taking time to plan goals for yourself and asking for support to meet them is a great birthday idea.
I am more than happy to come and pamper you if you'd like.....but I think a delicious hot chocolate from the bakehouse would be an absolute winner. Haha
I'm for Karaoke!!!!! What a great suggestion Steph, it is GREAT fun.
Karaoke is AWESOME:) Pampering is fun for all involved even if you are the one pampering. HMMMM and i can never see enough chick flicks so maybe that too;)
