Yeh, hubby said "when can we go together to pick out your bday present" Um nevermind.
Good Grief! If that happened in our house, it would no longer be "our" house, but my soon-to-be ex-wife's.

Such a melancholy story: I hope your marriage is otherwise sound, and your husband just needs some sense slapped into him. To me it is incomprehensible that a husband does next to nothing for his wife's birthday!
I would be happy to perform that service for you:

I may be 60+, but at 6' 3" and still in great shape I can handle most of these punks with no problem.
