Nintendo DSi Bundle for “My” Birthday?

I want a Nintendo DSi bundle for my birthday. Last year my husband got “me” one of those video cameras you can use to quickly upload videos onto YouTube. (Actually that was for himself, and he didn’t try very hard to hide it, but I also use it, so I don’t care.) He’s not using my DSi though, and he’d better remember my birthday. That video camera, by the way, came like 2 months after my birthday. Thank goodness I’m not big on birthdays or anniversaries–here’s how it went when I tired to remind my husband that my birthday’s coming up:

I was talking to my husband over the weekend and said something like “I can’t wait for my birthday!” He looked seriously confused. So I repeated it and opened my eyes really widely (and a little angrily) as I emphasized the word birthday.

It made no difference. He still looked really confused and said, “You already had your birthday this year.” OH MY GOSH. NO I DIDN’T. That was our 10th anniversary!!! SO ANNOYING. There is just no excuse for that.

But I am not an expert on birthdays. On my Facebook page, I put an incorrect birthday to fake out any stalkers or nosy strangers. (Currently no one, and I do mean not a single soul, is trying to find information about me via Facebook or any other means for that matter. But you never know. I could have a stalker one day–and if I do, he or she will be totally baffled at my ability to fake him or her out. Don’t play with fire people.)

ANYWAY, so I faked out the would-be stalkers, but also my whole family and all of my friends. They all already wished me a happy birthday months ago, and  I was too embarrassed to tell them about this little “error” I made, and obviously explaining why would be far too embarrassing to get into.

Usually I don’t really notice my birthday, but this year I’m really excited. I’m not sure why!

    Happy Birthday! I am not stalking you on Facebook (currently) so I can wish you one closer to the real day!

    Happy Birthday Holly!

    Never got what it was with men and dates. At least mine can narrow my b-day down to the proper month…for now…

    Happy birthday, Holly! When is it really? And hey, can we be friends of Facebook? I promise I won’t stalk you :P
    And love the idea of the DS…but you know what, I just had my birthday and my gift is nowhere to be seen yet despite my NOT SO SUBTLE hints that I want an iPod Touch!!!

    P.S. Did you watch Adam Lambert sing Ring of Fire? It left me CONFUSED.

    Holly Holly Holly! I just watched YOUR Adam sing Tracks of My Tears. I almost cried! Oooh, and he had this clean look. Handsome!

    Oh my gosh. I totally cried. He looked kind of like a hot mannequin rather than a human being, but that really didn’t phase me.

    What a voice. I thought his appeal was his rocker falsetto–but he has SO much more going on!
