and so it begins.
the countdown.
the countdown to the greatest day of the year...
MY birthday!
yippee.
now that we're in the single digits, i can openly count down and brag about myself. some ppl say that they don't care about their birthdays and that their birthday is just another ordinary day. i used to be one of those ppl. i used to not care... but not anymore... okay, probably not for the last 5 - 7 years.
i love my birthday. 7/11 is the coolest day out of all 365 days. 7/11 is also free slurpee day at 7-eleven convenient stores... sadly enough, i have yet to partake (no idea how i have forgotten every single year, but i have!).
my email address ends in 711. my phone number ends in 711. my favorite numbers are 7 and 11. i say happy birthday to myself every single time i see the clock strike 7:11... sometimes i'll voice it aloud if someone is with me. seriously, i'm slightly obsessed with the date of my birth... but really, isn't that the way it should be? shouldn't i be thrilled with the day that i graced the earth's presence? i love living, so shouldn't i really appreciate the day that brought me into the world?
anyway, i'm excited. i'm already planning. i know that it's not really my job to plan my birthday, but i have a couple ideas in mind, and i would like to share them:
- go see rent in nyc. i've seen rent 5 or so times, and i love, love, love it... but sadly, it's leaving broadway in september, so i must catch it now before it's gone. plus, it's not like i need front row seats; i have seen the musical a few times, so the 20spot tickets are fine with me!
- go to dinner at the melting pot. i know it's a chain. i know it's nothing new and spontaneous... but what can i say? i'm just a sucker for the fondue... plus, the melting pot sends me a birthday coupon for free chocolate fondue (with purchase, obviously). i'm a sucker for coupons.
who's to say that either of these things will happen? truthfully, i change my mind as quickly as i make a decision... that is to say that i'm quite indecisive, so you'll just have to wait in anticipation for new ideas and then the finale...
needless to say, i'm only ever 1/2 joking when i say how awesome i am... b/c really, i do like me, and i'm glad that i came into the world, and i'm pretty proud of the way my parents raised me b/c i turned out a-ok.
fyi: sometimes i'm humble too.

as someone who HATES her birthday, i envy your b-day pride. maybe it's just because it's a cool date. (then again, mine is the half-way point in the year.)
in any event, your gift is in the mail.
mrs. dub... your gift is still not in the mail yet. it will be soon, though. maybe even today b/c it IS in our apartment... but hubbs and i are really, really, terribly bad at getting things to ppl on time. i really do apologize.
