After having children, something changed about how I feel about my birthdays. I mean, frankly as I get older, my attitude about them changes anyway, naturally. But I’m talking about something else, what I want, how I want to spend them.
I used to enjoy having my birthday as an excuse to host a party, loved hosting a party! And who doesn’t love a gift or two?
I no longer care if I get jewelry, or clothes, or perfume. I don’t want a party or to go to a fancy dinner. Now, what I really want is two days alone! I say two days because I figure, with all the sleeping, it will take me about that long to accomplish everything I’d like to do. I want to get my hair done, my nails (both hands and toes), a massage, maybe a facial and some waxing. I’d like to watch some TV and/or movies, read some magazines, a bit of a book, and do some leisurely shopping.
Since having the twins, accomplishing those things goes more like this: no money to do hair, nails, facial, or massage; not enough me-time to use the occasional massage certificate; read a few minutes of a magazine while on toilet; watch a show or two at 10pm before passing out; and shopping, ha, IF I find the money, I’m rushing my ass off to get it done between this and that thing.
How has what you want and want to do for your birthday changed since kids?
People Are Just Weird…Or Are They Just Different? February 19, 2013

People are just weird, that’s our (hubby & me) go-to phrase when we just don’t get what someone else is doing or saying, they are weird, not like us, different. But then I always walk away from those conversations thinking, well, I’m sure others say the exact same thing about us when they disagree with what we’re doing or saying. And in fact, often times, I think hubby is just weird.
Do you ever get that desperate feeling that the person you’re disagreeing with just hasn’t really grasped what you’re trying to say and that once they do, the light bulb will go on? And the more desperately you try to explain your point of view, the more “weird” you look to them and the less likely they are to “see” what you’re saying.
I know that sometimes those people are just weird, but most of the time they just have a different opinion, do things differently and as much as it doesn’t make sense to me, it’s their choice and I have to respect it. But oh it can be so hard and frustrating sometimes!
Do you and your mate/friend/sister/mom have something you say when you just look at each other and know that you both think that person is just….weird?
I Love Soda August 9, 2012

I know it’s taboo to drink soda, and especially to admit you like it, but I’m feeling like a rebel today. 
I don’t drink it often, I know it’s terrible for me, I’m aware of all the bad effects on my body. However, I love the taste of it, Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, 7-Up, and many others, they’re just so yummy to me! I especially love the real sugar versions, and I don’t really like the diet ones. If I’m going to drink it, I feel like I may as well drink the real stuff. Now, if I drank it daily, that may be different. I know a few people who stopped drinking soda daily and lost 10-20 lbs., without changing anything else. So like I said, I know it’s bad, I try to avoid it, but sometimes, I just gotta do it!
Be honest, do yo
u like it? Do you drink it? Daily or just as an occasional treat?
