Birthday Week

I miss the days when I would start counting down the days till my birthday. I would always start February 12th because my brother’s birthday was February 11 and I didn’t want to distract attention from his birthday. Now I don’t get as excited to get older. I don’t feel old yet, but I am sure I will start feeling it in the next couple of years.

Yesterday I asked Kevin what he planned for my Birthday Week, and he just gave me a blank stare. “Birthday Week? I don’t do Birthday Weeks. I only do BirthDAYs.” I wasn’t expecting him to plan anything, but it was pretty funny to hear all the excuses of why he didn’t have anything planned this week. I haven’t really planned anything either, though I know I want a really good dessert ( I am giving up sweets for 2 weeks and my birthday is the end of the 2 weeks) and a pedicure.

Having your birthday during Conference weekend has it’s pluses and minuses. It is an incredible uplifting weekend, usually filled with lots of family time, but it takes up 6 hours of my Saturday, making it difficult to make fun birthday plans. My birthday is on Sunday this year, so everything fun will have to be on Saturday in between session, or watch the sessions later.

Any suggestions? I am thinking about possibly going to the Hogle Zoo or the Living Planet Aquarium?
