The reason for today’s pity party is (drum roll) I forgot my husband’s birthday. He called me at work around mid-morning to ask me today’s date. Thinking he wasn’t near a calendar, I glanced at my calendar and said today’s uhhh your birthday.

To my credit, I did try to convince him that I hadn’t forgotten that I was just waiting until lunch so I could bring him a cake and surprise him.

He didn’t buy that.

Oh well, after eating crow all evening, I’ll just have to try again next year.
