Once I got to a certain age, it just felt a bit indulgent to force all my friends to hang out on a random Tuesday night when everyone has extremely busy lives. We’re adults, we got shit to do.

But this year I thought I would indulge the blog more, with some birthday treats, birthday sales, and birthday stories. Is that even more indulgent than just asking a few friends to go to dinner?
