My birthday was Sunday. It's not a big deal but its nice to hear from family a quick happy birthday. Maybe a card from my grandparents. Maybe some thought into  a present if you are going to get me one.

Yeah, none of that. Maybe its because I had a family get together on Friday night and they felt it was enough. I got checks. Nice gesture, but isnt the saying its the thought that counts? Seriously, Im not hard to buy for. An OU T-Shirt. I only have 2 and only one of them fits me. Maybe some golf balls. Something small for the camaro like a hose kit. These are all things everyone knows I want but they take the lazy unthinking way out. Sure I've given gift certs or cash I also didnt put much thought into what I was doing.

My inlaws like to act like they care about my birthday. They don't. My sister in laws birthday is the day before mine. I once went to a 'combined' birthday party at their house and not one mention that is was my party as well to the guests in attendance. I got cash from them as well.

Hell even my wife got me a key ring that clips to my belt loop. WTF? Am I a janitor?

Two calls on my birthday from family. Much appriciated. Not even cards from the grandparents

I just said to hell with them all bought a trendy watch and am looking for a practice amp for my guitar.

Just one thing to say to my family either think about what you are getting me or dont get me anything. A 12 of Guiness would have been better than a check.
