DD's bday is a few weeks before mine and that just seems to take priority these days. I do expect a gift from DH though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938644 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:46:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 938644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my birthday.

I'm so thankful to be a year older, but not big on celebrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938607 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:39:41 +0000 chopsuey 938607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped celebrating with parties after my 18th.<br /> Usually just had/have small dinners with friends and/or fam.<br /> They last 4 years dh and I just ate out with the kid(s). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938602 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:37:54 +0000 Meridian 938602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After my 30th, definitely not into it anymore! We didn't do anything besides go out to dinner, just DH and I. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938578 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:31:13 +0000 nana87 938578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my birthday is usually pretty low-key--it's right after the holidays and usually either I or my friends are travelling (I'm on an academic schedule so it's almost always during winter break) so not a very good time for a big get together or anything. My 30th is this January but my friend's bachelorette party will be on the same day so it'll be her celebration instead! I'm a little bummed to be honest since this is a big year--for dh's 30th I organized a really awesome party and arranged for some of his best friends from out of town to come visit-- but dh and I will go to dinner a different day I'm sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938572 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:27:28 +0000 plantains 938572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Happy Birthday!</p> <p>I love birthdays, I try to make it at least a little special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938563 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:25:05 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 938563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my birthday (and really, everyone's birthday! happy birthday @Bao: and @MamaMoose:!) I don't like spending too much money, but I always do something "special" even if it's Chinese take-out and a cupcake. </p> <p>So I think doing nothing, if that's what you want, is perfect. You've lived another year - hurray!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938545 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:19:47 +0000 Boheme 938545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is really close to Christmas so it's always low key, which is fine by me. I usually take the day off work and go get a pedicure, do a little shopping, then have dinner and cake with DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938533 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:15:19 +0000 lilteacherbee 938533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my birthday!

I take the day off and want to be left alone really. Now that I share my biryhday practically with our anniversary, which means a whole lot to DH, my bday is even less important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938499 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:08:20 +0000 Bao 938499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938492 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:07:44 +0000 fancyfunction 938492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - you can do whatever you want for your bday! Mines coming up in about 2 weeks also. I'm not a huge bday person soy husband and I are just going to spend a relaxing day in the Hamptons. His family likes to get together for everyone's bdays but that's just not for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938491 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:07:10 +0000 pui 938491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Happy belated birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938490 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:06:48 +0000 MamaMoose 938490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a huge birthday person. My birthday was Monday and baby and I were both sick. I was perfectly happy to sit on the couch watching whatever I wanted on TV with a big glass of wine while hubs handled bath and bed time (which ended up a fail because sick baby wanted mama to put her to bed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938489 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:06:48 +0000 pui 938489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every year my husband and I go to afternoon tea at the Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto for my birthday. I usually also do something small with friends and family. I'm not that in to my birthday.</p> <p>In my family, birthdays stop being special after you turn 16 (Until you get to 50, then every 10 years after that matter). In DH's family birthdays are pretty important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938485 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:06:16 +0000 Bao 938485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My birthday was yesterday and we went to the beach!

We went up to my parents for it. I can't remember much of what we did for it. I think we went out to dinner with my parents babysitting. I think I'm slowly coming out of the haze of what this year has been. I know that you're going through something similar, so I know that feeling of not being excited or jazzed for holidays when life is tough.</p> <p>My LO's and DH's birthday are 7 days apart. I'm usually excited and planning for DH's. This year, he'll be getting a cake and gifts. I gave birth a week before his, so LO was his gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938481 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:05:08 +0000 JerricaBenton 938481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so into my birthday, it's sad really, lol. That doesn't necessarily mean I make big plans though! Especially now that I'm busy with LO, a birthday doing 'nothing' might be perfect! This year I'll probably want a mini spa day and out to dinner. Nothing wild! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938479 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:04:53 +0000 swedishfish 938479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 30th birthday is Saturday and I let my DH plan things for this year...but my mom just called this morning upset that we were only doing cake with my family. He obviously didn't take my hints. I feel like I get so excited for my birthday and then end up disappointed. I just can't win!</p> <p>You can definitely do nothing if that's what you want! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-into-your-birthday-are-you#post-938470 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:02:02 +0000 DillonLion 938470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always try to plan something fun for my birthday each year. But this year I am not feeling it! My bday is in 2 weeks and I have nothing planned. </p> <p>Can I do Nothing? Can that be my plan? </p>
