This time of year I really go
through a self-imposed depression. In
about 2 months is my birthday. And
normally I don’t want to think about it or really acknowledge it. Honestly I don’t know why. I am very thankful that I get to see one more
year. It is probably more seasonal that
anything. It’s getting darker earlier
and the trees although beautiful it’s a fleeting beauty because the trees will
be bare soon. I haven’t really been able
to pinpoint it. But for some reason this
year is different, which is definitely a good thing. I am turning 40! I am invigorated!! Many of my friends have already joined the 40
and over club. Some of the ones well
over 40 have not been sympathetic to my angst for this upcoming birthday, and
it took me a minute to get over it mainly because who cares what other people
think!? The best advice/idea I got was from my soror aunt-in-law (yeah I just
made that up) who said when she turned 40 she did something for herself for 40
days. She went to a hotel for the
weekend and just splurged and did various thing for 40 days. When she told me that I though OH HELL
YES!! That’s what I’m gonna do! SO I started a list of what I might want to
do for 40 days which I am going to start January 1, 2014. A few things are restaurants I haven’t been
to in the Baltimore and DC area, places I haven’t yet explored (like the zoo
and Aquarium… I KNOW right?!), and a few pampering events! And then I have been thinking what am I going
to give myself? I have a friend who gave
herself a big Louis Vuitton bag for her birthday. I’m not really a purse kinda chick although
her purse was nice; I can’t really wrap my head around paying that much for a
handbag. Although I am on the LV site
and there are no prices so I guess if you gotta ask… I digress. And I treat myself pretty well throughout the
year so I don’t really know if there has to be 1 thing. I am planning on doing a party but I’m still
not sure where. Another of my friends
just had a reception/party at a restaurant inside of a hotel this past weekend. It was really nice! So that helped to reinforce that I do want to
do something to signify this auspicious occasion (LOL). In fact I might do several! The only problem is the few places I’m
thinking of I want there to be entertainment, like a dj or something. It just feels like nothing in going on in
January. I mean I know winter will be in
full swing and folks like to stay inside, but I really just want to add myself
in, I don’t really want to think about having to plan something.
There are a few things I am
feeling a lil ashamed about:
·
I bought a 10 pack of Twinkies! I’m not sure if I was hungry that day at the
Wal-Mart or if I was feeling nostalgic. Either way I ate all of them but
1. I gave my mom one who inhaled it in 2
bites and then was like Yeah I don’t even like Twinkies! That’s how the geriatrics do, they eat so
fast because I think they think there food is gonna go away… well not food but
snacks and junk
·
The shear amount of wine I have purchased could
stock a medium sized restaurant bar. I
am in the wine of the month club and then I went on QVC (y’all know I got
issues) and bought more wine mainly because there was not shipping and handling
·
And then there is QVC… **loud shameful sigh** I
need to go on a spending diet just from that site alone. It has gotten BEYOND ridiculous because I can
justify everything I get. Yes I DO need
a supersize face cleanser in fact; you selling 2, then let me get them shits
right now!! Orange scarf!?!? HELL yes I
need an orange scarf to go with my… uhhh
it matches nothing but that don’t matter!! I need it.
Pray to all the Jesuses for me!!
(LBJ, teenage Jesus, AND adult Jesus!!)
