Hmm how to make this happen

I've been saving towards going to Hawaii for my 35th birthday since my 30th last year and so far what I have saved is laughable.

$50/month for the last 12 months has gotten me $600. I will continue to put away $50/month until I don't have a job at the end of the year, but that will still only get me $750. Even if I let it collect interest, that's not going to get me much of anything and eventually I'm going to have to break into that because I do still have bills to pay.

*sighs*

Anyway, I figure...a week in Hawaii, maybe a bit of Island hopping...that's going to be pretty expensive. By my estimation, I'll need to have saved $220/month for the next 46 months...or I could do a cruise and it would be half the cost.

The point is...saving for this is going to be nearly impossible and that really sucks.

Where's a sugar daddy when I need one?!

and...

18 hours and 31 minutes until my birthday.

yay!

Getting my birthday off to an early start!

I was born on September 9, 1982 at 3:24 am via an emergency c-section. I don't know if I was late or if it was due to complications. I was either an oops baby or this is your last chance baby. I've been told in the past I was an oops. It made sense since my brother is 14 years older than me and my sister is 16 years older than me. However, today my mom told me I was a last chance baby. Her doctor told her that if she wanted any more children, she needed to do so now. She was 36 years old when I was born.

Anyway...

First: I got a cute card from dontelltheelf

Second: tkeylasunset dedicated a chapter of one of my favorite fics to me: Unalphabetized Spices of Bulletproof Baby Blankets

Third: I got a cute baby otter virtual gift from goneahead

eta: oh wow. I'm sorry that I forgot to thank dante_s_hell for the early birthday wishes too.

And all the many people on twitter who have been tweeting them too me as well.

My plans for tomorrow? Skipping class is sadly out. I have tests this week and I'm sure information will be given about them on Monday and Tuesday. I am, however, going to see if I can get to my nail salon during my nearly 3 hour break, but I have a feeling with the way public transportation is, I would be cutting it too close and get to my 2nd class late and this is the instructor who said that if we aren't in class by 12:35 to not bother coming in. And we get marked absent. I'll pass on that and go to the salon after class.

I didn't get to the party store to get my Kiss me! It's my Birthday! button, and that's okay. I have a feeling that someone on campus or on the bus might try kiss me.

This has been an update. I'm going to study for some tests.
