Pity party anyone?
Posted on | May 3, 2010 | 2 Comments
Okay, so let's say it's your birthday. And let's say you've been trying to get pregnant for 2 years to no avail. Does it make sense to throw a last minute baby shower at work on the infertiles birthday? Reeeeallly? There are 364 fine days to choose from.
I digress. I could be sad that is it my birthday and I have only heard from an uncle who proceeded to tell me my mother is a biznitch. He really didn't say that word, I'm just being nice.
Or could it be that I get to see B in passing, for a total of about ten minutes, on my birthday?
Did I mention it's my birthday? Do I sound like a fourteen year old girl yet? Oh just wait.
Here is one thing I am excited about: I just got home from work to find presents from B. One present was a poster of Jacob. Yeah, Jacob from 'Twilight.' Now how teeny bop is that? My husband rocks my socks off. I am still laughing.

o.m.g. did Brad really get you a poster of Jacob?! I am so freaking jealous. hahaha that is fantastic!
But I love you and I wish I could be there to celebrate with you! remember when prom was your birthday? how could i forget :)
I thought of that today because one of the managers that I work with, she brought in pictures of her daughter at prom this past weekend. and all i could think of was the prom on your birthday hahaha I didn't tell her because that would probably freak her out.
SO anyways, happy birthday!!! I take it you didn't get my card in the mail today but you will soon!
and fuck them for throwing a baby shower on your birthday. RUDE
