Kind of sad about my birthday :(
Its my 30th so, its kind of a big one. All of my friends husbands threw them fabuloous suprise parties. This is the only time being single isnt so much fun 
Im trying to make the best of it and hoping I get to do something fun.
Sorry for the pity party!!! Back to your regular nesting.

Re: Kind of sad about my birthday :(
I'm sorry
This is a rough time, but you can still have a great birthday! Heck, I have to plan all my own stuff if I want to do anything...you just forget about that part once you get there and focus on the good friends there to celebrate with you.
And I am certain that L would do something fantastic if he were about 15 years older
((hugs))

Dont' be sad... my H isn't throwing me anything. My sister and mom are and I'm kinda part of it since it's a joint 30th and 50th with my mom.
Girl, plan your own, I did before this birthday and they were the best!
Do a GNO with your besties/goodies and have a blast!
You could do a spa day, weekend in Austin, weekend in Galveston, Dinner/Karaoke or Howl at the Moon.
I think as long as you have fun, happy people around you on your birthday, you can't go wrong!
Thanks ladies! I know its gonna be fun no matter what I do. I would LOVE a weekend getaway but, I dont have anyone to stay with L. Im thinking a girls LBD night is in the works.
Just had a sad moment thinking about being 30 and where my life really is compared to where I "thought" it would be.
Hope whoever you celebrate your birthday with, makes it the best ever!
I'm sure you will see a post about my decent into my 30s next month!
Your birthday will be great if you want it to be.
Believe me, I thought my life was going to be alot more different than it is now but I have great friends and family and an amazing hubby that make it all worth while!
Girl, nothing is wrong with being single as long as you love it too!
i don't think my husband has ever thrown me a birthday party. certainly not a friends-invited type of thing.
for my 30th, we sat on the couch, ate a frozen pizza, and had mint chocolate chip ice cream while we watched Big Cat Diary.
i agree with the others and think you should throw yourself a girls night out : ) that would be realllly fun!!!! for the record, i have enjoyed my thirties way more than i did my 20's. it's a different kind of satisfaction and feeling of self-confidence. life's dynamic... embrace who you are NOW, and celebrate your new beginning. giant hugs to you!

First of all Happy Birthday!!!
Seriously don't be sad about where you "thought" your life would be! I try to remember about how it was when I was married, and how unhappy I truly was near the end of my marriage. Think about it like this; would I want want to wake up in a few years and realized I've spent my entire thirties unhappy? The answer is simply no! You're young enjoy yourself, and have a great day!
I was single when I turned 30 and planned my own party. It was the best birthday I've ever had. This was before I met my husband, but I'm pretty sure even if we had been together at the time, I would have still planned everything.
Embrace your 30s. I'm in the camp that they are so much better than the 20s.

This what got me to where I am!!! I didnt want to spend another day unhappy! I didnt want to wake up 30 and be miserable with my life! I am super excited about coming into my 30s
Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I am looking forward to 30 and all it brings!!! LOL
Awwww, Suz. I totally understand your feeling. My divorce was final 10 days after my 30th birthday, so I didn't have some really awesome party or anything. The day just kind of came and went. BUT, for my 31st birthday this year my amazing SO took me on a mini-vaca to Austin (where we both lived in college and LOVE), so he more than made up for a low key 30th.
And don't dwell on being 30 and not being where you thought you'd be. It may not seem like it right now, but you're better off than you thought you'd be in the long run.
