birthday ideas

Last night as I crawled into bed I randomly thought about some of my birthdays over the years. This actually came about when I was thinking about an old friend I found on a social networking site late last night. She's a friend of mine from my singles group days and we hung out for a good four years before the group died out and we were getting on in our 20s and no longer had the free time to hang out like we used to.

I really haven't had an actual birthday party since those days, sure I went out for my 27th, but that was more to get me out of the house because I had been dealing with a breakup. Last year I decided to think of birthday ideas for myself, a night out with friends; but the question was what, and more importantly, when? I'm a December baby, so I can come up with all the birthday ideas I want but with corporations taking the month over for Christmas parties, those of us born in the month are squeezed out of our birthdays. Once I had a couple birthday ideas down, I had to factor money into it and decided on which place to go and to push my plans back a month and go in January.

Well here it is September, already, and if I want to do something for my birthday again, I will need to start thinking of birthday ideas. I'm thinking of doing the same thing as last year, or should I say, earlier this year. Going to the same place, but hopefully this time more people will be able to make it. The sooner I get started with birthday ideas, the sooner I can put that to rest and get on with the rest of my busy schedule.
