I am not a big fan of birthdays lately. Seems the only person who sends me a card is my life insurance salesman. I wish I could get people to understand that I really don't need any presents. I would love a heartfelt card, or just some time to myself.
Instead, here's what DH will do/had done. I have a good idea what my big present since he bought it one month ago when he replaced the Ipod he broke. He will give it to me on my birthday in the bag the store put it in. He will probably just throw it towards me as he is watching a ballgame.
He will not have taken DD shopping, nor will he say that any gift is from her==she'll get her feelings hurt and be upset and think that I am mad at her since she didn't get me a gift.
He has already bought me plants which need to be planted before they die. They've been left on the front porch right now and I need to go move them just so the mailman can get to the door. I hate gardening, I've never been successful at it; I'd rather go to the dentist, be drilled without novocaine, while listening to nails scraping a blackboard. In his defense, he did offer to have someone plant them for me, but when I asked that they be planted in pots instead of the ground so that we can have some shrubs put in later this spring, he got mad at me. BTW this is the 10th birthday in a row he has given me this "present"
Oh, well, time for me to go smile and say thank you, all the while thinking people on the Dis are thinking what a whiny selfish person I am.

Hope you have a great one! 
Make the most out of what is left of the day.
