Well, what do you want to do? Where do you want to go? My 30th birthday is in February, and I really want to go to NYC or Vegas. And yeah, I would skip the work party if it fell on my 30th birthday!
Well I'm turning 30 in January and I don't have big plans either. Something big isn't really in the budget with 2 kids in daycare. ;( Oh well I'm not all that excited about being 30 anyway!
I'm turning 30 in October....if it makes you feel any better, my 30th birthday will be spent at a wedding for a guy I can't stand! He didn't come to our wedding because he "couldn't afford it". DH is now in his wedding and he is expecting them all to shell out $500 each for his bachelor party!
I can't remember my 30th birthday at all. Guess it wasn't too special! lol. I don't think my 35th this year will be much better. I did have a nice 30th for DH a few months ago, though. Just dinner at home with friends. But it was fun and the food was great if I do say so myself.
I hope you can make some plans to get out of the country. Start yourself a vacation fund and get yourself a passport!
If it makes you feel any better, I dreaded turning 30 on my b-day so I asked my DH and best friend if we could have an incredible bash to help me forget I was turing 30. They had a nice, little party for me w/ close friends/family on New Years Eve...I got shnoockered that night, and woke up the next morning puking. I had a hangover that lasted a couple days that turned into a week...and yeah...one pregnancy test later...realized I was pregnant! LOL...after all that, I wouldn't have minded a quiet night at home :oP
When I turned 30 9 1/2 years ago, my best friend and I threw me a great party. We did it at my tiny studio apartment I was living in at the time in Boston and it was a blast. I was single and not loving my job. How life has changed. Be thankfully for what you have and enjoy it - my 30's were way better than my 20's!! Different in many ways but I feel like I am finally living life now and not just in it if that makes sense.,
my 30th birthday.....oh joy. I was 6 weeks post partum and my parents were here. I think we went to Carrabas and ate Publix cake at home. No friends, no party, I'm sure i got a few presents.
#1) It shouldn't be up to YOU to figure out what to do for your birthday. DH should be all up on that = planning to make it a-mazing!
#2) This you will have to devise a reason why it MUST be changed!
#3) plenty of cruises going out of Texas to the Caribbean - make it happen!

Surely you can plan something fun between now and your bday!
(And Mexico does count!)
It DOES sound like a few more guests for our Vegas soiree??!!!
We should DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!
