So...today's my birthday. I've never been a big birthday person, so mellow is usually the way I roll. Overall, it's been good. H made me breakfast, took me out to a movie, bought me gelato, and is now changing my flat tire. My gift is coming sometime later this week (he's always been very thoughtful, so I know it's something cool he ordered), and we're going to go out to dinner sometime later this week when his brother and gf are in town.

The test though...it was the card he gave me.

This card was one I found while I was snooping last summer. A card I know was intended for LW. The card that, as long as I could still find it in his stuff, meant he hadn't sent her the letters he'd been writing.

So, I could look at it two ways. H gave me a used card b/c he didn't have the time/energy/??? to get another one. It's disrespectful given who it was intended for in the first place.

OR...

H loves this card and what the picture represents. H is so over LW that the card is SO not about her, but about me.

Guess which one I choose? Yeah, #2. He wrote some wonderful things in it...about loving me and loving to spend time with me, about how passionate and beautiful I am...good stuff.

It's been a good day, despite a little MLC flavor on my part. I'm now the ripe old age of 38 \:o , and I feel like there's so much still left undone.
