Like I said, W's bday is coming up. I'm planning on getting her gift certificates from our local movie theater and Marble Slab from each of the girls, kind of as a "I want mommy to take me to movie and ice cream" each. I was planning on getting her a birthstone pendant necklace from me, with her birthstone and one of each of the girls'. Ever since coming up with the idea (one I REALLY like), I've felt weird about it. If the A wasn't going on, I'd so be proud of myself for coming up with it and finding this particular design, and would have ordered it a long time ago. (It's from a nice online jewelry store, and won't be cheap.) But, with the A, it's such a special guesture and idea to and from me, that I'm finding it hard to order it. Now, with W going out of town for her bday weekend, I'm really feeling weird about it - "happy bday... here ya go... and b-bye while you probably go see OM". The whole "no gifts" thing in DB is getting to me, too ... not that I've really been DB'ing for a while. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Btw, I did ask W about using this to go see OM, and her answer: "No, I don't plan to................ but, I'm not making any promises." Boy, did she really not need to throw that last bit in. It was said in such a tone of "I'll do what I want and I owe you nothing and no explanations." I really feel like she has absolutely no respect for me... and, I'm sure I've in-part caused that by my lack of action (being so f'ing lost in wtf to do).
