What do you like to do on your birthday?

Elle, on February 12, 2015 at 3:13 PM Posted in Community Conversations 2 47

So today is my birthday, and it is the most low key day possible. I've decided I must be a little old lady on the inside (instead of the 26 year old I am on the outside). I am watching Les Mes on Blueray while the dog and kitten snuggle with me, as I knit.

Tonight we're doing dinner with friends, but still a pretty tame evening.

It made me curious: Is there anything specific you ladies like to do on your bday?

    Aw! I like that kind of birthday celebration!

    For mine, we usually have this huge cookout, I rent a bounce house and a magician, and I invite the neighborhood/friends over. My birthday is very close to memorial day though.

    My birthday is in the summer so I either like to be on the boat or at a patio enjoying some cocktails. FH's birthday is December (2 days after Christmas) and we don't do alot for his because its cold, and well...2 days after Christmas

    I just like to go to have a nice dinner. i never really do anything too big on my bday. FH hasn't been home for the last two birthdays of mine so they've become just another day until he's home and we can go to dinner or something. lol.

    I love flowers! My husband always sends me flowers on my birthday, Mothers day, and our Anniversary (which is Saturday!!!). I never know what they are. Last year he sent a different color roses every single hour. I cried! I wonder what he has up his sleeve this year!

    Generally I don't do anything. The last couple years FH has taken me for a weekend getaway, but I don't typically celebrate with friends or family.

    Happy birthday!!!

    I feel like the older we get, the less exciting our birthdays our. Usually I just pick what I want to eat that day and that's the birthday I get. We use to go to a place and get "birthday nachos" but it's too far from us now. (I forgot why we would call it that. It was before it was any of our birthdays.) Last year I got wings. It's just whatever we are craving, no fancy dinners here.

    Call us boring, that's fine. It's just us Smiley smile

    My best birthday ever was my 19th birthday. My boyfriend at the time ordered me a pizza, and I literally just sat in bed in hangover heaven and ate pizza....all day.

    Happy Birthday!!!

    My birthday is right before Christmas, so I feel like it's always super low key since nobody is thinking about my birthday. This year, FH and I celebrated "Philadelphia-style" buy finding a place that has cheesesteaks and breaking out some Yeungling.

    This year I'm thinking of just going out for dinner. last year i tried to have everyone over and so many people said they couldn't come at the last minute it just really sucked so I'd rather just go out for dinner maybe go for a mani/pedi with a couple of my friends not sure.

    I prefer to stay home, watch a movie (like Lord of the rings), order a pizza and get some cheetos. I do not answer my phone either..I'm anti social that way.

    My birthday is the 4th of July. It's a great day to have a birthday and I enjoy the fireworks and all, but I actually prefer traveling for my birthday. I'm excited because we're doing our honeymoon over the 4th and it will be the first time I will be out of the country on that day. I know this sounds selfish, but I think I will enjoy being able to celebrate the day as just my birthday and not any other holiday.

    Similar. When I was back in town with friends we might go out for dinner/some drinks, but since we've moved and it's just been FH and I we just have done dinner. This year for my B-da (jan) we went to Olive Garden and that was about it. Usually I ask to go to the casino haha

    I am spoiled, I like to travel to somewhere warm for my b-day since it is in November and I hate the cold! We love to travel though so it works out to skip out right before winter for a week. As far as celebrating with my family my FH will cook for us and that is a treat since I always cook.
