My 30th Birthday

There was only one thing that I told my boyfriend that I wanted to do on my 30th birthday weekend....go bowling. I have been wanting to go bowling for months and after many times being promised this activity I thought that I would be able to actually be given it on my birthday.

My boyfriend did say during the week that he would take me bowling on Saturday before taking me out for some drinks. When the Saturday came, he told me that he didn't feel like bowling and just wanted to go to the bar. This was very disappointing to me. I was upset and a bit sad. I only wanted to do ONE thing on my birthday and now I wasn't even going to get to do it. We went to a bar but I was in such a poopy mood that I didn't even enjoy myself. And the only way my boyfriend could cheer me up was to take me to my favorite place to play pool...and even then I wasn't fully happy.

In the midst of traveling between bars and home, my brother texted me to find out how I did bowling. He knew how excited I was to go bowling and couldn't wait to hear all about it. When he found out that we didn't go bowling simply because my boyfriend didn't feel like it anymore, my brother became angry and told me that I deserve a better boyfriend than the one I have.

My brother took me (and my boyfriend) out bowling the next day but it was a little awkward for the two of them. I, however, had a blast. I love bowling...and I got to do what I wanted on my birthday after all, even if it wasn't my boyfriend who planned it for me.
