Maybe I just cannot relate. It's just how it is. We can't always celebrate the way we want to: work or no suitable company or health or what not. Many people work in fields where they can't choose when to be off. My husband will be working third Christmas in a row, they have shortage of nurses and he believes women with young children should be the ones to request it off, not grown man with grown kids. He also always works on his birthday, just because how schedule works out. We just kind of adapt I guess to circumstances.

Schedule your outing for a different day, and pamper yourself that day.
Divine, you are right. I don't know why I've been so hung up on this!!!

However, I just found out my girlfriend IS available Sat eve, so I have a plan now, which makes me very happy! YAY!!!

I am very relieved... still, it's good food for thought as to why I've been so upset over this. Normally, I just go with the flow and can accept circumstances that don't work out. Last weekend though, I didn't go see a local band I wanted to see because my friends cancelled or changed plans and I didn't want to go by myself so I sat home alone and bored all night. I guess it's just important to me, not only because it's my actual bday, but because it's the weekend and I want something fun to do Sat night.
Thanks for this!
