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. :)

Re: pamper yourself & mother nature!! :D
Date: 2008-08-26 04:30 pm (UTC)i am about 45 minutes away from bloomington. i have been to that origins. i don't tend to go to the real ritzy places because i have weird skin. it is SO dry and moody. i can't put anything on my face. not even soap. not even my handmade - super-gentle-i-know-every-ingredient-personally soap. it makes me break out. luckily if i don't put stuff on my face, i don't normally break out either.
i'm thinking the tattoo/sushi/pedicure combination is winning at the moment. and it looks like my friend corrin is going to come, so that will be good.

Date: 2008-08-26 05:05 pm (UTC)aww :( yeah sometimes people's skin is weird. i can definitely only use certain products cause my skin is sensitive, but the ones I do use have improved my skin 100000000x. You are lucky though, that it doesn't normally break out ;) my face is like a minefield if I don't exfoliate and tone!we have more than facial products though--lots of really fun body products too (including a pedicure set!).
i like the the tattoo/sushi/pedi combo too ;) sounds like a fun evening to me!! maybe a bottle of wine too, hehe. it's been too long since I had some sushi! (my husband is not a fan, unfortunately...)
