Three Buddhas

It was Boyfriend's birthday this weekend - Hooray! This happened:

The packaging was a little extreme.

No, I didn't buy Boyfriend three buddhas. I purchased one single buddha. However, I was erroneously shipped three buddhas, only one of which was broken. Thank you, large generic store, for your attention to detail.

Don't worry, he'll fix mr buddha right up.

Happy Birthday Boyfriend!

What's this? A special Tuesday blog post?!?

My post of shame from that incident. 

Yay Boyfriend's birthday! Yay presents! YAY CAKE!!

I'm Such an Asshole

I was saying goodbye to Boyfriend this weekend like usual.

And he got a text on his phone.

And all of a sudden my world stopped.

It was the unthinkable. 

That's right you guys. I completely forgot Boyfriend's bday. Even though I use it for a bunch of password related things and was looking at what to buy him last month, once September 1 hit I somehow completely blanked that his birthday was coming up. 

It was like one of those dreams when you're totally unprepared for a test or presentation. But not a dream. Real life.

I love making a big deal out of Boyfriend's birthday! Cake! Presents! A  mushy card where I tell him how much I love him and how special he is to me! It's pretty much a holiday for me too.

It's Boyfriend's birthdaaay and I'll cry if I want to...

Damn rational Boyfriend

So yeah, I feel like a total asshole. Has anyone else ever done something so stupid?? 

I do plan on fixing this, though. 

Happy Birthday to the best Boyfriend in the whole wide world! (And sorry I suck, dear.)

Birthday Cake Poll

As I wrote last week, it was Boyfriend’s birthday. So I had to make him a cake. Normally, I’m not half-bad at baking/decorating cakes. For some reason, I was just not feeling it last week.

This was essentially the content of my text messages to Boyfriend that night.

Here’s what the cake looked like:

It's all lumpy and misshapen. 

And here’s how it looked after I “decorated.”

 

This was actually my second or third attempt at writing on the cake. The frosting was not cooperative. 

And here's how I looked by the end of it:

Frosting everywhere. 

So I decided a birthday cake poll would be fun. 

What do you think of this birthday cake?

Worst Gift Giver Ever

So, Boyfriend’s birthday is coming up.

And I have a confession.

It’s not my fault. I try SO HARD. Probably too hard.

This is not an exaggeration. I have seen the entire internet. There is a LOT of porn out there. 

Anyway,  Boyfriend is tough to shop for. I’m no expert in his hobbies (like golf or fishing), so it’s not like I could get him a new golf stick thingy-

Or fish stick thingy-

Well that just sounds filthy.

Whatever. And I try to find cool gadgets related to this stuff, but he already knows about most of them. And since he’s not poor like some of us here, if there is something he wants super bad, he probably owns it.

  

But this isn’t a problem – I can still get him something fun and whimsical. Right?

It’s hard to explain. I usually almost get it right.

(Just kidding. If I got my hands on a kitty, there’s no way I’d be able to give it away. Retarded or not.)

To Boyfriend’s credit, he is an excellent gift receiver.

Here’s hoping I do a little better this year!
