Happy Birthday to ME! That's right, I have arrived at the big 3-0. I cannot believe I am 30 years old. I made a list several years ago of things I wanted to do before I was 30. Needless to say, many of those things have never happened. I could make the excuses of divorce, childbirth X 3, or even remarriage, but it's truly no one fault but my own. i believe we each make our own destiny. With that being said, I have renewed my faith in "the list" and I plan to shoot for having most of it completed by age 35.
Anyway, now that I've rambled on about that, time for the good stuff! Your GIFT! I am giving away a $10 Starbucks card in honor of my birthday. All you need to do to enter is leave me a comment telling me what your ideal gift would be for your next birthday. For extra entries you may blog about this giveaway, follow my blog, or leave me an additional comment on one of my other posts. If you do any of the additional entries, please leave a separate comment for each one! This giveaway will end on Tuesday, March 10th @ midnight. I will notify the winner via email on Wednesday the 11th. Please make sure you leave your email address in your comments so that I may contact you. Good luck!

Happy Birthday!
Found you on The MotherLoad...
For my next birthday, I would love love love to have the day to myself. Maybe get a mani/pedi, do a little shopping at Target, lunch by myself at a little cafe where I can read a book in peace...
That's not asking too much, is it? ;)
My ideal birthday gift would be two days and nights alone in a luxury hotel with a stack of books and movies. Oh, and room service and massage.
Happy Birthday!! I turn 30 this year too....hmm, I have been telling my hubby for a month or so that for my birthday I want to have almost the whole day with him in a local "big city". I just want to wander around, take some pictures, eat at a fun restraunt with no kiddos. Then I want to pick up the kids and spend the evening together watching a movie or something. So that is all I want....of course a piece of jewelery or some flowers, or clothes would be good too! ;)
I blogged about your giveaway too! You are awesome to give presents on YOUR bithday! I love it...I'll have to keep it in mind when its my birthday!!
Happy Birthday! My ideal gift is a weekend away with my hubby, just the two of us. Thanks for the giveaway! P.S. My birthday was the 28th!

Congratulations! Thirty is great- it's the thirty-somethings that make you feel old. :)
My best gift would be a whole day to myself to read/scrapbook/whatever. The catch to that is that I don't want two loads of laundry and a sink full of dishes waiting for me when I get back on duty. :)

Happy Birthday!
My ideal present this year would be a new car but I'll be a wee bit more realistic and go with a wii & wii fit or a computer!
I will be celebrating my 50th birthday in May. My co-workers usually dress in black when someone turns 50, but I'm going to ask them to dress in their most festive, colorful clothes on my birthday in celebration of the fact that I've made it this far because I am also celebrating 5 years of life after being diagnosed with breast cancer!

My ideal gift would be to have my credit cards and student loans paid off. It's never going to happen so I guess I'll just have to keep working on it myself, but one can dream.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It just seems like yesterday was my 25th and here I am sneaking up on my 27th! Anyways, my ideal gift would be being pregnant. I've been waiting 6 years to be a mommy again but had to endure a divorce and many failed relationships before one finally told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me! He said two months after we are married we can start trying! It's a dream come true! We are getting married this August and HOPEFULLY by my birthday in Dec I will be newly pregnant! Thanks! youknowyouwantme2 at gmail dot com
Happy 30th birthday. 30 was a hard one for me, but that was almost 5 years ago, so I'm over it. My ideal gift would be a day all by myself to do whatever I wanted. With 4 kids, I don't get much alone time. So I'd love some time to just think, shop, eat, drink, etc...Thanks!!
Happy birthday! For my next birthday, I would love love love some pampering! I have 3 kids and could use some relaxing time away!

For my next birthday, I would so love an all expense paid trip to one of the adult programs at Space Camp at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. It's summer camp for big people and you get to play at being an astronaut for a week (or a weekend, but since we're dreaming big here, I'd want the week long trip!)
Since I probably won't get that, I'd also like a new hand mixer. I've just about burned out the motor in my current one.
I've been wanting a personalized photo bracelet! Thanks and Happy Birthday!!!!!
chericehodges@gmail.com
My kids got a Wii for Christmas and I want a Wii Fit for my birthday.
