My husband asked me what I wanted to do for my 50th birthday on Friday. I really couldn't think of anything.
He asked about going to a spa (yuck, I could not stand someone I didn't know rubbing my back :eek: ) or going somewhere overnight (not with him, but with my friend ). He also wanted to give me a party. Well, I'm not really into a big party as I would probably be doing all the work getting ready for it!
I know he means well, but really, I would like the whole day to just clean my house, study for my CLEPs, go for a walk, and NOT have to cook ANY meals. I figured last night that, in 25 years, I have probably cooked over 8,500 dinners! No wonder I am tired of trying to figure out 'what's for dinner'.
I'm wandering here. What I was wanting to know is what would you ask for your 50th birthday? A party, go somewhere fun? Just not costing a ton as I'm saving up for all those tests!
