    Usually one night out with friends at a comedy club or something. Then dinner out with my family.

    I LOVE my birthday. I milk it like no other. As far as getting older I could do with out that!

    Mine's Jan 26 and I'll be the big three-oh.  Eep!

    Not really.  When I was younger, I'd go out with friends and drink and dance too much.  Not so much any more.  

    Birthdays are just another day.  Usually getting older doesn't bother me but it will be strange to jump into the next decade.

    ETA:  I do have a facial booked for the day after my birthday as a gift to myself :)

    Mine is August 1

    We usually do dinner out to my favorite restaurant- just the 3 of us!  Previously, I would go out with friends, or they would come to my house.. but my best friends moved away :(   But I love dinner with my little family.

    And I LOVE my birthday. I milk that day for all its worth, just as much as I did when I was a kid. I love that day focused on just me.  Conceited, right? haha. I don't mind turning older.  Until maybe a certain point...  but I'll be 35 next birthday and I'm still cool with that age.

    Mine is August 18th.  For the past 7 years I have had to work that day because it always fell on a week where everyone had to work due to events that were going on (it included the weekends so it was inevitable).  I got a new job in September so I am looking forward to not working on my birthday next year.

    I used to love my birthday but could take it or leave it anymore. It is just another day.  Indifferent about moving up a year as well.

    Mine is December 11. I guess we usually go out to dinner and dh gets me a gift.

    I was really kinda bummed this year. It was my 30th. For dh's 30th, I threw him a surprise party with a few of his close friends. Snooped in his phone to find numbers and all. And every year DS has either given him a present or made something for him. For mine, we went out to dinner with his parents. To be fair, they invited me because they thought dh would be out of town. And then he really only was in town for a few days. But still. DS is 3 years old and I still don't have a token anything that says "to mama from sam."

    Ok that got sad. Sorry.

    My birthday is in early May. I used to always just go to a fancy dinner, with either the SO of the time or friends. No parties. Now it's 9 days after LO's birthday (his due date actually was my birthday) so it's just as well I never made a big deal out of it.

    My birthday is also usually within a week of Mother's Day, so there's the future risk of getting shorted on gifts/dinners, but my mother's birthday is a week after mine so she had the same situation and always successfully put her foot down on getting recognition for both, so I'm not worried there.

    I don't stress at all about getting older.

    May 10. H's is around the same time and we usually got to dinner. This year, though, we're going to dinner in Jamaica! 

    ETA: I don't mind birthdays. I don't give them much thought, anyway. Better than the alternative!
    That's DH's birthday!! I wish he wanted dinner in Jamaica!
