When I turned 30 the entire day passed without anyone saying Happy Birthday. After that I decided that it wasn't up to other people to make a birthday special, it was up to me. Ever since that day I take off on my birthday and do things I enjoy. Saturday was my birthday and I filled it with the things I like to do: gym, hardware store, cleaned up my car, coffee shop, a great lunch, and a couple of movies. I finished the day, as always, with a great dinner with the family.
