2eclipseas you all are probably aware of, ross is working all the bloody time.
it's not his fault. things with this show have not gone as planned.
he's working ALL the time. he hasn't had a night off in over a week and isn't likely to have one for another week at least.
so i am on my own for planning, which normally is fine with me. i am content to hang out with my girlfriends, go to fairs and things he wouldn't be interested in anyway....and catch up on some down time and read.
....but friday is my birthday.
and i don't want to throw a party without him. it would feel like a betrayal.
i am thinking about getting my tattoo....but really i'm not sure what to do with myself. most of my friends in the area are either encumbered with babies or not returning my phone calls (not that i'm against babies. it just means i'd have to go to them, they couldn't come to me...and therefore doing something with a big group isn't much of an option). and while i do feel free to spend some money on myself (like the tattoo, which is small, or like taking myself out to dinner, which would be lonely), i'm not free to spend LOTS of money (like going to a spa).
do any of ya'll have any advice for what to do with my evening that will feel special?
*grumbles*
EDIT: thank you to all you people who left suggestions. it seems i have found a friend who is available so i will not be alone and i think i am going with the tattoo/sushi/pedicure option. :)

Could you sneak on the set of the show and at least be with Ross for the night?
Could you do the tattoo and then meet up with one "encumbered" friend for dinner? I bet kids would love to do the cake/hat/blowers thing.
I know what you mean about the encumbered friend, I always feel bad initiating interactions with my friends with kids, because I know that it is me essentially asking, "Can I come over to play?" You have to know someone well to do this regularly, even when you know that you are welcome and helping to keep the mother sane by providing adult conversation. Since we've moved, I've struggled because I hate having to do this with new people.

Date: 2008-08-26 02:57 pm (UTC)i have been considering popping on on encumbered friends. i have 2 possibilities in that direction, but one of them i already have plans to hang out with for most of the weekend (canning). which will be great fun, but i don't want them to get tired of me...the other is a possibility.
the pedicure is also a good idea.
