Celebrating without food
My birthday is coming up, and I realized that I won?t be able to celebrate with my usual Indian buffet, decadent cake and wine.
I have ALWAYS used food to celebrate various occasions, and the idea of having a birthday go by without indulging feels very uncomfortable.
Today I booked a weekend away in Niagara with the family. We?re staying at the Sheraton and purchased indoor waterpark passes. I am determined to wear a bathing suit and go down a water slide!
Then I booked myself a body scrub and facial treatment at the fancy spa on the 14th floor, it looks AMAZING. I was freaking over the price then it occurred to me that I spend that much every year on dinner and drinks, yikes.
Now I?m looking forward to my birthday, more than I have in years. Here?s to new traditions and treats!

That's awesome!!! Happy birthday. I love that you realized you spend that much on food and drinks, and decided to treat yourself at the spa. It sounds amazing. No doubt the water park will be a blast for your entire family. :)
