The best husband in the world
Today is the second day of my official birthday week. (Thursday is my actual birthday.) I think every year since we’ve been married I’ve managed to stretch my birthday into a whole week, so last year, Jim decided to go with it. Every morning of my birthday week, I would wake up to a present to open. He set himself quite the dangerous precedent.
But he’s doing great this year. Yesterday I got a really cool necklace made out of huge wooden beads kukui nuts.
Today, in his normal tradition, I got the ugliest sweater in Old Navy so I can return it. Jim is convinced that I love to return things. I don’t know where he’d get that idea? So he always buys me something to return.
Don’t you agree that he’s the best husband in the world?

Haha, I love that sweater! It is great not ugly:)
I am glad you are enjoying your birthday week! Jim is a good man. My package will be late…. but I am sure that is not a suprise!

Happy Birthday week!!!
I thought at first that the necklace was made of cherries… it’s one of the most unique and pretty pieces I’ve ever seen. Your husband seems to know your taste :)

Happy Birthday week! That necklace is freakin’ gorgeous, and the sweater is supa cute, IMO. Very good husband, indeed! :)

Wow- I can’t even get my hubby to give me one present for my birthday (well not always…), let alone a whole week of presents- Are you doing anything fun to celebrate? Habby Birthday!

I couldn’t even tell that was a sweater until I squinted my eyes and looked at it just right. Freaking brilliant, that is!
Go virgo, it’s [almost] your birthday!

Regarding our earlier sweater discussion, I would say, by your readers comments, that they would agree (even though you tried to sway them)–the sweater is fantastic–no where near “the ugliest”. That was wrong. It should be mine….a woman who appreciates black and white….and paisley too! Yeah.
And the reference back to the reason you return things “I blame My Mother”, Give it up girl. Blame grandma!

If he actually got the sweater for you to return it – that is just plain hysterical.. and by knowing you that well, that would make him a pretty darned great husband!!

Thats so funny. How do I get my husband to go along with that for my b-day. BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO!!! Did you have to ease Jim into it?

wow that is a great husband…We both seem to manage to pull stuff like that out to.

What a stupendous idea! I will share that with my non-gift giving husband (“I really wanted to get you something, but I knew you wouldn’t like it…)
