What Do You Mean Anything I Want to Do?

My birthday is coming soon and we were in bed the other night and I casually asked me sweetie if she had planned anything for me (yes I am that narcissistic and thick skinned). To my horror of horrors, my sweetie said she hadn't planned anything and asked me if there was anything in particular I would like to do. Anything I would like to do? What do you mean "anything I would like to do"? Shouldn't you be planing everything and surprising me on this ooo-so-special day? You mean you haven't planned anything at all?

I was clearly upset and I even asked her if she was pretending not to have planned anything so that I would be surprised. She laughed and said she really hadn't planned anything and if she did, how could she tell me she was pretending not to have planned anything because then I wouldn't be surprised. Refusing to accept this, and in desperation I might add, I said I didn't really need to know what she planned exactly, I just needed to know that she had planned something. All I got was raised eyebrows, a shaking head and a very puzzled look.

I was upset. Clearly upset. So upset that tears started streaming down my face. This was my birthday! Its a once in a year thing. How often do I turn ** (that's a secret)??? I turned my back and faced the tv and started to sniff. Yes, I was dramatic, exaggerated and princess-y but it was my right, my right, my birthday right *stamps feet*.

Notwithstanding my melodramatic ways, my sweetie wrapped herself around me and whispered, "Yes, of course I've planned something. I even have options."

And I was happy again.
