It’s My Birthday and I Can Not Budget if I Don’t Want To (?)

AKA the day where I walk around shops with birthday money to burn, but always come home empty because the *idea* of being able to splurge on anything I want makes me happier than the stuff itself ;)

As in: It’s the best feeling in the world.

Because it’s someone else’s money.

And those someone elses want you to have fun with it!

With your family and beautiful wife!

And baby toddler.

And soon-to-be little man #2.

So it’s time to get out there and party!

Before my mind [stuck at 15] catches up to my body [feels like 50].

And not work an ounce today.

Except to read blogs on business and life and coins.

Or to tell everyone it’s my birthday and I can not budget if I don’t want to.

Because it IS my birthday! Did you know that?

And that I share it with Martin from Studenomics?

On Boxing Day?

So we get to do whatever we want??!

Like, this: AGHHHH!!!! 0usa=fua0sduf=sa9uf  asdf=as90ufsa WEEEE!!!! asdfoa0osaudf0usaf!!

[which means: jumping out of my chair and smashing a cupcake against the wall!]

{Also, I’ve had too much caffeine already this morning}

(And I’m so glad you guys read my blog!!)

B) You are still reading this, right?

#10: I Love you!

→ But I don’t want to marry you.

XXXIV: It’s my birthday, bye ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
