Lessons Learned

Every year on February 19th my birthday rolls around. Well, it is that time of year again as my birthday will arrive on Tuesday. Stephen never knows what to get me because I rarely take the time to think about what I may want. Well, this year, I made a secret board on Pinterest with all the things I would love to have. Not that I need to have them, just to keep Stephen from yelling at me for not giving him any ideas ;p I showed it to Stephen so he could plan ahead.

With that said, this morning Stephen looked at it. According to him, I don't actually want the things I want.

Cute swimsuit top at Target? 'No, that's from the 80s'.
Nice creme colored hobo bag? 'I already got you a purse 2 years ago'.
Hair cut? 'That's too expensive' (I get my hair cut ONCE a year).
Down comforter? 'We already have a comforter'.
Curling iron? 'Maybe. I'm not sure though' (I haven't had a curling iron for 4 years).
New shirts? 'I don't know what size you wear.' (I haven't bought clothes for myself in at least 2 years-except for 3 maternity pieces, and I can't wear those anymore).
A whistle, jump rope, collared shirt, gym pants, PE books? 'No, that's not what you want for your birthday' (Yes, yes it is).

So, next year, I will revert to my old ways and not tell him anything since he will disregard it anyway. #2,835th lesson learned about life with Stephen...what a crazy fella :)
