    So today is my birthday. I was excited because Mr. Hedgie didn't have to work and I didn't have to work again until Sunday. I took the night off teaching so I could spend the evening with my family and Mr. Hedgie. I haven't really done anything for my birthday in YEARS so I was excited when I was told we had an awesome night planned. Well.... Mr. Hedgie is working on school stuff now and asked if we could do something next weekend because he is swamped. Which I kinda get because he is trying so hard to graduate but this is stuff he COULD have done Sunday when I am at work but instead he already made plans with some friends to go to this game. My Dad is busy getting stuff ready for the Husker game tomorrow (He is a member of this North Texas Nebraskan's thing for Husker fans in the area and has to work on some stuff for the org.) My sister has a date and my other sister is sick. Understandable. And my mom doesn't see the point if nobody else is doing anything and we are just going to do it next weekend. Which BTW, was not decided by me. I was just informed of it. And My friends? They are all at ACL because they forgot my birthday was this weekend... thanks? I mean, I get it. I'm an adult and birthdays aren't as important as they were when we were younger but geeze! I haven't had a really fun birthday since I was 16! Even my 21st was lame because everybody was "busy"... I just feel so unloved right now and I am pissed at my family and friends. I just had to vent. Maybe I will be pathetic and bake a mini cake, grab a giant bottle of wine and some sushi and watch some TV. Buh. Okay, self pity time over.

    Yeah... I would make DH at least take me out to dinner. Two hours isn't going to kill anyone

    Happy Birthday!

    Awww that's such a bummer! Especially after YOU planned ahead for it. I'm sorry :( I think the mini cake idea sounds fantastic though…yum!

    Happy Birthday!!

    @Ms Hedgehog: Oh Hedgie. :( We all love you here! Maybe your DH has something planned on a different day? If he doesn't he should.

    I think you should take this opportunity of a little bit of extra time to beat down Bertha's door and get your wedding things back, I know that would make me feel better!

    Happy Birthday!

    @LGenz: Aw, I agree- he has to eat at some point anyway, right? A little extra time can't hurt. Drag him out of the house if you have to, lol.

    And Happy Birthday!!!

    I can empathize with you, I really can. I am another person who sorta gets shafted on the birthdays- my 21st was lame because everyone was busy, and all the people who promised to take me out bailed because of homework. My 22nd I went on a business trip and was stuck at the airport all day, and got really sick on my 23rd, 16th...you get the idea.

    Anyway, I've also been on the other side of the fence: when my husband (then boyfriend) turned 22, he begged me to take him out. The last THREE years before that his parents had made these huge birthday plans for him then cancelled at the last second and he would just get so upset on his birthday. I really wanted to take him out but I have SEVEN midterms and five papers due just a few days after his birthday and really just didn't know if I could or should do it. (I ended up going, and there ended up being a giant fire in the area so all my exams and papers were postponed- I got REALLY lucky.)

    So I say...just enjoy having the night to yourself. Know that people care, but I don't think that you'd really want to guilt trip anyone into pushing off work or making them uncomfortable. I hope that you have a nice birthday and stay busy!!

    @Miss Burgundy: See, and I would totally 100% understand the school work thing if it weren't for the fact that the only reason he is doing it now is so he can go to a game with a friend on Sunday. He WAS going to do it on Sunday until said friend scored some tickets. I just feel like I should be more important that some stupid game with a friend. What's worse is he is normally NOT like this! I don't know what has gotten into him. And believe me, I thought he was planning on surprising me with something so I did what I do best, I quizzed him in his sleep. (If you don't know already, Mr. Hedgie is an avid sleep talker. It's like his truth syrum. He can't keep any kind of secret poor guy.) And verdict? He "really wants to see this game and she will understand"... I don't. I told him. And he applogized and promised "next weekend"... Seriously??? I love you too hun!

    @Ms Hedgehog: I would be really pissed if my husband did something like that!  I do know all about getting the shaft on your birthday. Mine is a few days before Christmas, so that apparently is the perfect excuse for no birthday presents or fun things to do. The best birthday ever was my 23rd when my bff and hubs surprised me with a hawaiian themed party that year!! It was awesome, and just what I needed. I'll never forget that birthday :)

    oh man.... that stinks.... especially when you've been anticipating DOING something.  pffff, with all of them!!

    I say, get yourself to the spa, have a nice, long massage... and then finish the night off with some sushi, a good movie, and a bottle of wine.   

    Hope you can salvage the day and enjoy your birthday!!

    @Ms Hedgehog: Birthday twin! It's my brithday today too!! Happy birthday to us!

    If it helps you any, I had to make my own dinner reservations tonight b/c my husband (who is normally so on top of this stuff) forgot to. Look on the bright side...though you might not get to celebrate tonight, you'll get to celebrate next weekend! That's like a prolonged birthday! In the meantime, you should try to treat yourself to something fun tonight! Go shopping and buy yourself some fun new clothes! Happy birthday to you!

    Well I would demand a BIRTHDAY WEEK of gifts! They don't have to be huge but I would tell DH that he had to get you a special little surprise to make up for tonight.
