going birthday shopping

DH is taking me shopping for my birthday(which isn't actually until

the 27th), I'll be 32*sigh*. God, I hated turning 30 LOL...I never

wanted to have to check that box that said 30-35 age group LOL...He's

soooo not a good gift picker-outer. So I'm going to pick out my own.

He usually gets me a slinky silky nightgown--which I have 20 of and

NEVER wear, or house shoes, or my absolute favorite--a carpet

shampooer ROFL. Not this year !!! I'M doing the picking out. I wanna

buy new clothes, but I dunno for sure. He gave me the choice of " need

or want " ,or pick out my own. HMMMMMM what could this mean?? " Need " is

probably something to clean with LOL.... " want " --oh lord, what could

this possibly be? He thought I WANTED those nighties, he thought I

WANTED that shampooer too LOL...I don't know why, but the little

gifts the boys get for me mean soooo much more. My little one(he's 7)

for mothers day bought me this cheap-o $1.50 earrings from the dollar

store, and I love'em. It's just that he put so much thought in it ya

know. The price of things doesn't matter to me. I love going to the

thrift stores(I get this from my mom lol). My mom says I'm the

easiest to buy for because I don't expect expensive things for the

holidays. And plus I can get more that way LOL...Well, ladies I'm

outta here...have a good day I'll post tomorrow. BTW...thanks for the

back exercise advice:)

Happy (early) birthday, Tinkle!! I wish I were 32 again...turning 30 bothered

me just a little, but turning 40 sent me on a tailspin. Now that I'm older and

wiser at 41 it's not bothering me as much. Just remember...you're only as old

as you feel and with all the working out and good eating you're doing you could

probably put many 20-year-olds to shame!

I can really relate to the gifts from your kids being your favorites. My dh

bought me roses for Mothers Day and they were nice, but my 12-year-old daughter

bought me carnations with her own money, my 9-year-old son picked me some

daffodils and my 5-year-old son picked me dandelions....just warmed my heart.

Buy something that you really, really love for your birthday. You deserve it!

My hubby used to give terrible gifts too, but he meant well. Than he

suddenly started getting really good at it. 3 Mother's days ago, I

went out to get the paper and in my driveway with a huge bow was a

brand new Excursion. I was floored because he is usually gives gifts

like a shaver . Anyway, since that day, I always get good gifts. I

usually get gift certificates to my favorite stores, for shopping.

Also now thatmy kids are older, I tell them what I want and they pass

it on to him

Have a great time shopping, Tink! Sounds like you should DEFINITELY pick

out your own gifts, LOL! Shopping for clothes has got to be more fun now

than it was a few months ago...I'm already feeling better about that

myself, and looking forward to the day when shopping for jeans is fun

again. Enjoy! You've worked hard to look so good, get something that

makes you feel HOT!

and P.S. - 32 isn't so bad! I'll be leaving it behind in less than a

month, but I've got to say, things just keep getting better....I plan to

be a very sexy 40-year-old!

Happy Birthday Tinkle! Have fun clothes shopping. Hubby's can

be clueless when it comes to gift giving. I always give Dan a list so

he can't go wrong. hee hee. He says it's easier that way.
