That stinks.
So...



Here's a little party for you! Welcome to the club!

 

[DisneyFanInPA]

Sorry about the gift, but Happy Birthday!

 

[TXYankee]

Welcome to the 40 and Fabulous Club

Sorry DH does not understand how to celebrate your Fabulousness (may not be a real word)

 

[aGoofyMom]

Happy Birthday!



I too will be joining the 40 and fabulous club in just a few months.

Any chance he is holding out to surprise you later?

 

[mainegal]

Truly, being over forty is nothing to be *****y about.
I am sure your husband loves you in all your ages.

Happy birthday!

 

[dgthree]

Happy Birthday a few days late. =)

40 isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Heck, I even made it to 41 without incident. But if you prefer, you can say you're thirty-ten. <g>

 

[HillPete]

I'll be thirty-ten in a few months, also (the Podcast Cruise is for my birthday!). I don't blame you for being steamed, but my experience has been that unless I tell my DH what I expect for different events, he's lousy at guessing.

Happy Birthday!

to the Fabulous Forties.

I'm sorry your DH was clueless and didn't get you great gift.

 

[ccgirl]

You are a very nice woman in my opinion. I think I would have taken that coffee mug and broken it over my husbands head. There would be no question why I was ticked off. I already told him that I want a party!! I asked to go away for a long weekend too but he said we couldn't afford both. I'm so sorry about your present but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

 

[mainegal]

It was around my fortieth birthday when I realized that if I really want something, the best think is to do it myself, for myself. Don't count on other people to meet your expectations.
You know what will make you happy, do it for yourself!
And have fun!

Happy Birthday!

Don't worry 40 isn't really that bad and before you know you'll be 41. I tell you that year just flew by way to quick for me.

 

[DisneyKevin]

You have to leave subtle hints such as, "give me your credit card....you're buying me this for my birthday."

Happy Birthday!

I like that. I will use this next month when I join the club.

thanks for all the well wishes.. My DH isn't to horrible..i guess....he got used to me doing everything for the kids bdays that he forgot how to do something nice for mine...our youngest daughter shares my bday...we are going on the PCC but that is in dec....thanks for letting me vent....I am doing better and he does know i'm upset i didn't even get a cake....

 

[Grumpy's Old Lady]

Happy Birthday

At least your not my Boss's wife. He gave her a scale for her birthday. I would have thrown it at him

I'm sorry about the turning 40 thing. I try to look at it this way: It's all downhill from here, so this is the best I'll ever be. I should enjoy it. We're not 22 any longer. Might as well make the best of it.

I generally select something from a catalog and hand it over and say, "This is what I want for my birthday." It works well for Christmas by substituting "Christmas" for "my birthday."

If you want tickets or a book or something, give them the info with a phone number or computer link or whatever. Write "This is what I want for my birthday" on it.

In this way, you get something you like and they don't have to worry about giving you something that you won't like or that will cause you to sulk.

I am glad you are doing better. PCC 2.0 will be wonderful with all the Fab 40's on it. You know, DH never gets me a cake either! I say we both go to the bakery and buy a beautiful cake that WE like!

A list is not enough. Once my DH lost my list!!! You need to go to the store you desire, tell him what you want and wait outside to make sure he gets it. Also, once that is done I will ask for a couple of surprises.

But, last year, my DH had chosen my x-mas pressie really early, very unlike him! IT WAS AN IPHONE!!

I think he is officially competent in the present department now. Tick.
