Skippy Says: Birthday Girl (OOTD)

In many aspects, I am my father's daughter: I really enjoy having my back and head scratched, I yell at people I love when I'm angry and then kiss up to them five minutes later, and I love my birthday. Well, I used to. The older I've gotten, the more I've turned into my mother's daughter in this respect. For some reason, birthdays just haven't been as fun the last few years, and I find myself wishing the day will pass by quickly and quietly. Last year was especially trying-- my dog managed to get into the chocolate pecan caramel bars I made to share with my family, so I spent my birthday day frantically calling vets and calculating his weight/amount of chocolate consumed ratio to see if he needed to get his stomach pumped. See? Good times.

My birthday is tomorrow and I'm hoping for a slightly less eventful day. The plan is to have a quiet dinner at my parent's house with close family and friends, and then head to a little bar that specializes in fancy cocktails and desserts. Plus, it has board games, so we're sure to be in for a fun night. Well, I am. I love board games. But people don't necessarily love playing them with me, because I tend to get just a teeny tiny bit competitive sometimes. But it's not as if I've angrily stormed out of the room just because I lost. Fine. Maybe once a few times. I'm not afraid to pull the birthday card to make my friends play with me if I need to though.
