It's both wonderful and awful to have your birthday on a holiday. If it's a going out holiday, everyone wants to do that and you have to compete with the going out crowd of events. If it's a staying in holiday then everyone is with family and not really able to ditch them to hang out with you. You can't avoid your birthday, if its something like May 15th, then you can quietly not say anything and no-one knows. Holidays seem to get less of that.
All in all my birthday(halloween) was pretty great. There were times that I wished I had know that I wanted (and voiced it) to have a quieter house party birthday instead of going out, but I still had a good time. We went to the play Dracula on Friday. It was an amazing play, tons of creepy moments and flashes, I was quite impressed with it. Then Saturday I spent the morning/afternoon with Angie, chatting, baking biscotti, laughing at everything. It was fun. Follwed by dinner downtown (Marco's Coal Fired Pizza, awesome and wonderful) and then out for drinks/dancing. I didn't really do much dancing my feet hurt and the "dance floor" was so crowded that I was inches away from way too many people. Lastly came the actual birthday which was Sunday. Had a nice Cajun brunch, followed by some knitting time, followed by dinner and a movie (RED) which was very enjoyable and exactly how I wanted to end my birthday weekend.
Now to get on with some knitting, do some exercise (I can't seem to drop weight no matter what I try), and relax.
