MIND READING

My husband is a man of many talents. Unfortunately, mind reading isn't one of them. He is also completely unfazed by birthdays and other like milestones of life. They come, they go...why make a big deal out of them? So, when my birthday rolled around last week I tried to be as practical about it as I possibly could.

When asked what I wanted for a gift, I said that there was absolutely nothing I needed and I couldn't really think of anything I wanted. Thinking he understood, Moise said, "Ok, so it's not really a big deal then?" This is where mind reading skills would be particularly handy. It was completely true that I needed nothing, and wanted little...but I was hoping for a little recognition on my birthday! Having learned my lesson from birthdays past, I simply took his head in my hands and replied, "No, it is a big deal!" I know it sounds silly, but while I can take or leave the gifts, I do want to know I'm being thought of on my bday :)

Later that day, when I got a call about a floral delivery, I was sure it was from my mother, or some other intuitive lady in my life. Much to my surprise, the card attached to the beautiful bouquet that arrived had a really lovely message...from my hubby!

Thanks, dear. Ya done good.
