Birthday Issues

I’m approaching my birthday. It’s in four days. This is my physical birthday. The one that is properly celebrated. Given I consider my birthday is June 21st for example, and Jared and J.C. claim October 7th. So, we celebrate our physical entry into the world, of course, on the day that it actually happened. Still celebrations are nice, though a little weird.
Hubbie has arranged to have a party on the day after my birthday at a friend’s house which has the potential to be a lot of fun. The idea of gifts always confuses me. I’m not much for baubles. If I need a watch I’ll get a $10 one from Wal-mart instead of a Girard Perregaux. I can never think of anything that I could possibly need or want that isn’t hideously expensive. Right now my car is my main concern and paying of credit card bill. Hubbie always tells me that birthdays are about getting fun things; stuff that you want rather than stuff that you need, but I have a lot of things that I can do for fun. I play games on Facebook. I have games on the computer like Puzzle Quest, Plants vs. Zombies, the Sims. We get to go to movies every once in a while, and when we don’t there’s Netflix and On Demand cable, and various PlayStation games that I still haven’t finished.
One of our friends remarked the other day that I’m easier to buy things for because there’s bound to be someone in here that will actually like it. Still I think for me I’d prefer fixes to issues that we already have. Fun times with friends. I’m really blessed in many ways. Friends that we can be ourselves around. Family that are decent close by.
