bestie birthday plans. or the lack thereof.

there's no sense in explaining to you the ridiculous over-the-top-ness of birthday celebrations between me and bestie jen.

i mean... birthdays are major for me anyway... but she subscribes to the same logic i do:

"bigger is better"

"she's worth it"

and

"they were all so cute, i couldn't decide... so i bought you them all"

you guys, we're talking, like, My Super Sweet Thirty Four caliber.

we love our birthdays.

pin.

but, this year is a miserable failure.

for one, that pesky play has gotten in the way of everything {and i mean - everything}.

and then, ultimately tragic, i'm out of town allllllll week long.

so it's not even like we can postpone it a day or two.... we have to postpone it a full week.

i feel like a chump.

and, i mean, someone vouch for me..... clever gift giving is my specialty.

i am an all-star gift giver. 

but so far, i've got NOTHING for bestie jen.

no clever ideas, nothing she casually mentioned 5 months ago and then forgot about, nothing i secretly discovered that i know she'd DIE for...

n-o-t-h-i-n-g. 

she even made a list.  ad everything she wants is sold out.

so i'm thinking about getting her a bath and body works gift certificate and maybe a picture of us in a best friends forever frame.

hey jen, i hate your birthday.  let's postpone.
