The Husband's 40th

Well, happy birthday to my dear husband, Eric. He's 40 today. Funny, I really wanted to have a surprise birthday party for him, but he had already planned to be gone, due to pheasant hunting season being this time. I thought I could have one before or after his birthday, and then, he ruined it. About a month ago, he was in a really bad mood and just said, "I know you're going to have a party for my birthday, it won't be a surprise, so you might as well just tell me now." Right then and there I figured his surprise would be NO BIRTHDAY PARTY! And can you believe, he was actually upset when he didn't get a party??? Seriously, a couple of days before he left, he said "I can't believe you didn't have a party for me!" I explained to him that he shot himself in the foot with his previous attitude and he took all the fun out of it. I even gave him a new name..."Birthday Scrooge". I still may have a party for him, thought maybe if I have it November 16th (or right around that) it could be his one month anniversary of turning 40! I hope this teaches him a lesson, never tell someone you *know* they are having a surprise party for you, 'cause more than likely, it'll come back and bite you in the butt! Oh, and I'd like to tell my dad, Happy 63rd! Can you believe I did run screaming from Eric when I found out he and my dad shared a birthday??? What was I thinking?
