Don't do what I did for my 47th. Work all weekend, babysit my exe's kids and hit a deer with my van.

Hot air balloon ride
Family night at some sporting event or theater.
Depending on where you live ....... Disneyland on a weekday.
Laughlin .... and limit your stay in any one casino to 30 minutes.
Take the day off work and spend the day being a veggie with a good book and cake.

Three day weekend at a hotel where there's a spa. Or go do the three day weekend at your sister's house - go to the Ritz day spa for one of those days and come boating or kayaking with me for one of the others.

Tell people you are not going to celebrate your birthday. My experience has been that this gets you 3-4 birthday dinners and cakes from people who don't want you to view your birthday as something to ignore.

Go somewhere - anywhere - that's warmer than where you are at the moment. And go without the hubs and the kids. After you get those two things achieved, it doesn't matter.

Go to Ireland. I tried to convince my son to do this for his 13th birthday, but he wouldn't go for it (and yes, I was serious)

Go some place warm and sunny. Personally I'd love a cruise about now.

Find a nice windowless room in the house. set up the big screen tv. load up on favorite movies and a few boxes of books. Bring in some cases of wine and/or other favorite beverages. Turn off the cell phone. place a note on the outside of the door and barricade it shut. The note should say to the world, it is your birthday and you aren't coming out till the snow melts and the grass is green! AND, Have a happy birthday!!

Or go on a wine tour?
I'm trying to get someone to watch my kids so I can go on another one for my upcoming birthday in March.

I think you may live in the same area as swamp - why don't you two get together and go on a wine tour? Besides my actual birthday at the end of March, this year also marks my 10th "re-birthday" (10th anniversary of my stem cell transplant) on St Patrick's day. So I have a lot of celebrating to do this year

Give me some ideas what should I do for my 46th birthday.
Plan a girls weekend, or week, in San Diego. Arrange for a couple of days of limo tours of Temecula Valley vineyards. (I think wines are better and less expensive than Napa. Try the almond champagne with a splash of chocolate port (Almond Joy) at Wilson Creek. The restaurant at Thorton is a nice place for lunch.) take a ballon ride over the vineyards. Visit Mission San Diego. Help hoist the sails on a sailing ship ride. Visit the Wild Animal Park in Escondito and take the tour that takes you into the compounds. Spend a day stimulating the economy at the Carlsbad outlet center. Explore the Hotel Del Coronado. You might see Navy Seals training on the adjacent beach.

My birthday is TOMORROW (Wednesday, January 27). My favorite sub was talking to me in the hall today, asking me if I was ever going to be absent. And so I decided . . . I am off tomorrow! I am so excited. No getting up at 4 a.m. It is like two two-day weeks for me. DH is taking me to Johnny Rockett's tomorrow (they sent me a coupon), but to a Japanese restaurant to really celebrate on Saturday. I'm not going to clean or grade papers. I am going to celebrate ME. That is a birthday celebration, swamp ! ETA: We get two personal days off a year. I hardly take them. I'm not playing sick.

As long as it's not too cold, go to the city and be a tourist. Visit Chelsea Market, eat at the Stardust Diner, skate at Rockerfella Center. Happy birthday!

Coach bag shopping day trip with spa/salon partial day treatment.
Get yourself a good massage from a medical masseuse.

Plan a 'bucket list' trip for a MAJOR bday (any when your age ends in 0 or 5).
