Ok. Not saying how old I am, but I am still in an ok decade. Next year someone will have to get me Valium or something. Someone had posted here that they were going to have to spend their birthday alone. They were in the throes of divorce and it was scary. Mine's, well, very well done. So the prospect of being alone on my birthday is fine. In fact, kind of cool. It is my second one alone anyway. What the H#ll.<P>So what am I doing? Unfortunately, my Bday falls on a holiday, so everyone wants to do something and everyone is off. There are picnics and the like and it gets too frantic. So, my gift to me:<P>1) grade papers (ok, not a gift....but gotta get it done before I open any "presents")<BR>2) turn off the phone and computer (aaak! no calls or chat??)<BR>3) take a bath in my NEW apartment's GIANT Roman tub <BR>4) go get a movie and eat WHATEVER I want <BR>5) not unpack a THING<P>The big key is: not talking to anyone. Nope. Nada. Nada soul. Can I do it?? For someone who is on the phone or on line until 12 every night (school nights too), this may prove impossible....I hope I survive....<BR> [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P><BR>

Happy Birthday!!!! Yeah, I guess you have to look at it that way, as a new member of the singles club I too spent mine alone and did whatever the heck I wanted. Nice for a change. Have a real good one. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] <BR>Jax

Happy Birthday!!!!<P>Hmmm, a nice quiet evening at home with no distractions….no phones, no computers, no people (or students) wanting something from you…..sounds great to me!<P>Then you add in your movie of choice and a nice hot bath in <B>YOUR</B> roman tub……what more could you want????<P>Be sure to light plenty of candles and add something nice to the bath like an aromatic mint & eucalyptus foam…….it will help you to relax and will take all of your stresses away….at least temporarily.<P>Have a wonderful day, you deserve it [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<BR><p>[This message has been edited by Jayhawk 93 (edited July 04, 2001).]

Thank you for all your well wishes. But honestly, Nick, what in the world would I do with ANOTHER Porsche????? [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>It was sort of silent. I spent the day at my mom's and the evening by myself. I did unpack and set up my apartment some more, which was nice. My bath was wonderful!! I think the larger tub is a visual illusion, but I didn't care!<BR> [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]
