Well, not so much blues as just confusion.
The only person who has EVER made a big deal over my birthday has been my mother and that usually compiles itself with a cupcake with a candle on it, Las Mananitas (or the mornings. Its a song sung on your birthday. Its ubber cute.. just freakin' annoying as mother tends to play it at 4:30 am when I was born regardless of where I am. YES, she calls me up and puts the phone next to a blasting radio). Well, I suppose I could lie since I was taken to Vegas for my 21st birthday, but that was my sister making up for the senior Prom she missed out on prettying me up due to her marrying and moving away.
"You HAVE to get drunk and party on your 21st. Its a milestone."
That's what she said as she dragged my ass to the car and made me ditch school. (I totally didn't mind. xD)
Long story short, my birthdays have mostly been a culmination of my mother's modest birthday cards and wishes. Last year, she was the only one in the family who remembered.
Needless to say, I don't know how to take it.
The husband's making a HUGE deal for my birthday this year. He's already blown sixty bucks on me, is making reservations at a local restaurant and is having my friends (the only three I have up here) meet us at a science museum I've been dying to visit. My husband's the type of guy that would give me the moon if he could physically drag it over for me to dance on.
I don't know how to react. It makes me feel weird (in a very nice way).
How can I thank him without making him feel bad? Last Christmas I cried over my presents (I really wasn't expecting so much) that I made him feel like he did something wrong. I know I have a problem taking compliments and such lavish attentions with grace or without making the other party feel bad. Anyone got any suggestions for me?
