And I feel a crisis coming on! Its my birthday today and my mom forgot. She said it's next week- UM NO!?
At least my DF is getting me a duck for my bday... It's a needed item (for my sanity!) and we're pretty strapped for cash. . . I appreciate that she understands my intense love for my birds and is feeding the need.
I'm sortof sad because this is my first real birthday away from home- last year i didnt have a birthday till the very end of july because DF was away doing Army things in Wisconsin. . .but we flew home and celebrated then.
I'm past the point of wanting THINGS anyway... but it'd be nice to have gotten a big old box of stuff(read: cleaning products and a garbage can ! thats all i need! usually its much cooler stereo systems or porch furniature but i am able to provide for myself now! ) from my dad like usual- but he's spending everything these days on the wicked stepmother ( no, i gave the relationship a chance, it really is a case of in it for what I can get in that case) and my stepsister just got into college(go her! yay!) at the Culinary Institute of America and they are celebrating w/ her and buying her cooking stuff and also buying SS number 2 ( there are 4 step siblings ) who's also turning 25 , but on Sunday a huge kithenaid mixer with attachments . . . and since my dad helped me pay for school I guess I dont get anything cool this year ( I feel like since I moved from CT to GA I'm like the disposable , easy to hurt child because he doesnt have to see me get my feelings bruised)
My party is saturday- I actually told my friends that I'm so into wanting to hatch eggs out that they can NOT get a gift and can contribute to my " I want to order eggs" fund.
On that note- I've only invited 2 'sets' of couples to my party. I've lived here a year and thats what I can call my good friends. . . I have many acquaintances but I guess I'm just not a typical 25 year old! I do not want to go to the bar on saturday i want to take a book and a bucket and sit in my yard with a bag of oats and be surrounded by my chickens. I have my DF, my animals, my school. . . and that makes my world go round ( well, that and an untold number of hours a day scouring BYC for info).
Countdown with me BYC members
My birthday is over in 23 hours and hopefully I can stop being depressed then!
/end pity party my mom did buy me a bbq grill . . . which has been employed every night of the two weeks we've had it.
