Thursday was my 29th Birthday. Last one before the big 30. JA was asking what I wanted to do since Wednesday. It went something like this:
Him: Tomorrow's your birthday! Are you excited? What do you want to do?(big smile on his face)
Me: Nothing... (continue to sip my coffee)
Him: But what if our friends ask what you want? (smile on his face)
Me: Tell them to call me.
Him: (Stares blankly at me)
Then I was feeling bad because he would have wanted to do something so I figured I should. I called him very excited and proceeded to detail that I would do something with 4 of our friends and we would go eat, drink and be merry. After and awkward silence, his response was: "That's not the point. We'll talk about it when I get home". WTH? It turns out he doesn't care if I do something or not, BUT if I do something then it must include X friend.
There's a lot of drama here so I will try to make it short. It's not that I don't want to meet with our friends, all of them or just a few, it's just that I don't want the newborn baby in the group to go. *blush* I'm sorry, but to me, it changes the whole mood of the night. It's no longer my birthday, it's the "meet the new baby" night. It sounds harsh, and it probably is, considering she is my best friend. But those are my honest feelings. So what did I decide to do? Friday we went to visit them and have dinner. A sort of family evening. The first of many to come. It was quite special. We were 4 for a long time, then have been 5 for a little more than 2 years, and now we are a party of 6! I see her, carrying the baby, and still my head cannot grasp the fact that this is HER baby. Not that she's not good with kids, it's just that I'm so used to them being 2 that part of me still can't believe it.
Saturday I invited 8 friends to drink and chat... no children, no children conversations. I was so looking forward to this. I had 6+ hours of fun. I am so glad I got to do this even though at first it created some tension between JA and I. Because after all, it IS MY party!
