Totally Tasteless Plug

Ok.  So next week is my 31st Birthday.  I know.  It snuck up on me too.  Anyway, I have been thinking about what I want to do to celebrate.  Last year, the beig 3-0 went totally unacknowledged.  Not because I was afraid to turn 30, but because I felt so much pressure from people asking me what I was going to do that I just got overwhelmed and did nothing at all.  Plus, Jack was only a few months old and like I needed to be going out on the town knowing that I was going to be waking up multiple time during the night.

This year is a little different.  I would like to do something, but I just don't know what.  I beginning to think that I would like to take the kiddos to see Happy Feet and then maybe go out for burgers.  It's funny that that would be what I am drawn too.  I am always the one making a big deal out of everyone else's birthday, but when it comes to my own, I just want to chill.  Give me a big heapin' helping of "No Extra Work" for my B-Day.

Nonetheless, if there are some people out there who want to help me celebrate by getting me a little somethin' somethin', here is a totally tacky and shameless plug for somethings that I would like.  I know my lack of class astounds even me.

James Taylor at Christmas

Dan Zanes and Friends, Family Dance

Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria

OK that is enough greed for one day.  By the by, these were listed in to particular order.  For a person not used to asking for what she wants, I think I did a more than adiquate job here. 

Such a greedy girl.  Shame shame on me :)
