My birthday is tomorrow... no big deal. Hit the big 3.0. last year so I don't feel like there is much need to really think about this day... Jonathan will be leaving for the weekend, we're not doing gifts anyways... just another day :)
But one thing I do love about birthdays is the cards in the mail. Often from friends who live out of town, parents and grandparents. The best thing about them? Often they come with money! The Grandparents, not the friends, no pressure :)
But here's my question. Most of the time I get this money and put it in the bank because it's a check. Do I end up actually spending the money on myself? Probably not... it gets lost in the shuffle.
This year I'm going to make an effort to spend my birthday money on me. It doesn't equal enough to go on a shopping spree in Chicago, but it would cover a nice pair of boots or jeans, or even a coat. Money that I shouldn't feel guilty about spending... it's for me. That's the whole intention.
Now to find the time to actually go shopping.....
