Whiny Wednesday

Whiny_WednesdayIs it self-serving to announce one’s own birthday? Oh, well. I’m 44. Who cares?

Today is my birth day, but more importantly, April is my birthday month and I am celebrating. Instead of whining about the years adding up, I’ve decided to treat myself every day this month, whether that’s taking a walk, getting some quiet reading time, or taking myself out for lunch.

As today is my actual birthday, I’m ditching off work and going to my favorite spa spot in the hills for a massage and a cedar enzyme bath. Bliss.

Obviously I have nothing to whine about today, but please feel free to vent in my absence. Just do it quietly if you will, in case I’m having a nap.

  1. dear Lisa,
    Happy Happy Birthday!

    PS: since it is your birthay, we will not whine today. We can always wait until next Wednesday 🙂

    PPS: great decision – to treat yourself everyday with something nice for a month. I will copy your idea within few months.

    lots of love from sLOVEnia,

  2. Happy birthday, and I don’t think it is self serving!! Might as well let people celebrate with you!! Almost everyone is happy to wish someone a happy birthday, so it is nice to know the day! Maybe I should do the celebrate every day plan as I will be 50 this year.

  9. Wednesday was my birthday too! I turned 48. I took the day off from work and did all my favorite things. It was a beautiful spring day where I live so I worked in my garden, went to a coffee shop and an art gallery in the afternoon, then went out to dinner with my husband to our favorite restaurant. Had such a nice day I forgot it was whiny wednesday. Happy Birthday Lisa!
