Sometimes I'm Selfish

but most of the time, I really try not to be, you know? It's just once in awhile, I want...what I want. Is that too much to ask? haha.

What I'm really talking about today is my birthday. I normally don't make a big deal about it. We normally go out to dinner and have cake and ice cream with some friends and family. James usually let me buy some clothing or whatever it is I am wanting at the moment. You may recall I said I was going to re-decorate our room for my birthday present. this still sounds quite fabulous, however....I might just wait to do that until, say, oh Mother's day or something. ;o) Because I have some other things on my mind.

First of all, some things I want/need to purchase:
-new running shoes
-new workout clothes
-possibly new MP3 player, or headphones at least. mine keep going in and out.

Now You should know that my mom has graciously accepted to watch our kiddos all day on Jan 28th. That's not my bday, but you know, that's a day that James has off from work and school and that I have off from work, so it's going to "be my birthday." I have a sitter from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. THANK YOU MOM. How fabulous does that sound? Just a day with the hub and I.

100% perfect, that's what that sounds like.

 

And I have decided I want to do things that we have never done before together. Or things we haven't done in a long time.

So what should we do with all our free time? Ok, pervs, we will do that of course, but we've definitely done that before and it hasn't been a long time either so technically it doesn't really count. sheesh. can't believe you suggested that. Anyway, back to the question at hand, and only accepting actual ideas, we need to figure out what to do! I only have 2 ideas so far....

-Rock climbing. never been. any suggestions as to a good place?

-fancy-pants/dress dinner and is there a place that has dances? I mean, sure we could go to a club, but I don't know how to dance like that. haha. actually I don't know how to dance at all, but I still love to wiggle around like a goober. sorta my fave thing ever. also, sort of James' least fave thing ever. Good thing it's my birthday and not his, right?

Oh and say we DO the fancy dinner night date....I want to buy this dress. it looks so incredibly sexy I can't even handle it. I hope it looks as good ON me, (which thanks to spanx and my dieting I think it just might!) because I tell you what, if it does, I'm buying it, I really don't care how much it costs. I am in love with it. *also, the picture is not as cute as in person. I looked at it in person and it's all lacey and looks totally classy.* If it does not look as good (which our $$$ is probably hoping it doesn't) then I will just wear the dress I bought last year for that wedding we went to. Which really, is probably the better way to go, but...we will see! haha. Unless you know of a sexy/modest dress that is less then $50....

Also, any restaurants we should try? We've been to most of the places in Provo and Orem I feel like. I figure SLC has some different places, so maybe we should try something up there? I don't really know - so throw out suggestions. I like anything except I'm not super into mexican right now. and if they had a calorie listing that would be ideal since I'll still be counting calories on this day.

Thanks in advance for the tips and ideas! I can't wait to have a day with the hub and do a bunch of things that I want to do. sometimes it's just fun to be selfish and so what you want to do. and I figure on my birthday, is about the only day I can get away with that. :o)

Happy Thursday!
