Birthday Week 2008

Yes, this Saturday I will turn 25. Am I freaking out about being a quarter of a century old? Yeah, maybe a little.

However, as is tradition, I don't allow myself just one day to celebrate my being born. I take a week. I don't take vacation. Ever. So Birthday Week is like taking an official vacation from everything I normally worry about. I feel free to rebel against my boss, give in to anything I want, and generally focus completely on myself. Selfish? probably. Childish? Definitely. But it's what I do, and I like it. So here's a list of Birthday Week things I will definitely be doing:

1. I will rebel against my evil boss's wish to stay close and "keep it somewhere quick" for my birthday luncheon and go to California Pizza Kitchen for a white pizza, because it's my birthday lunch, dammit.
2. I will reject anyone who befriends me on facebook that I feel might just be collecting me for their numbers. I do not like to be collected, and this week it is NOT allowed.
3.I will not feel bad about anything, ever, in any situation until midnight Saturday night, because my guilty conscience is on vacation.
4. I will buy myself something pretty, every day if I so choose, and wear it on my birthday.
5. I won't take any advice that contradicts with what I really want to do. I do this often anyway, but this week it won't even be considered.
6. I will shamelessly blow off anyone if I'd rather be at home watching season 3 of the OC and eating icecream with my dog.

It's only once a year, so you'll get over it. and let's be honest, I'll never be able to be that guilt-free so I probably can't even pull it off. I'm off to Superior Grill to have a monday margarita.
