So today is my birthday. I had a great night last night enjoying some Hibachi food in Queens with my boo of 5 months (off and on). He made me feel special when he arrived at my house with roses in his hand and the inspiration to sweep me off of my feet and show me a good time. I was so happy that we went somewhere nice because I didn't want to waste my black, strapless dress which fits me in all the right places, for nothing in this world.
I guess my birthday dinner went well despite the conversation we had the night before about birthday gifts. Me being the big mouth I told him that I wasn't 15 years old and refuse to take a gift under $200. I know that sounds a little mean and superficial but I'm just saying, what is a birthday gift if its under $200?
Don't sit there and say its the thought that counts! Save that for the kids because you and I both know that aint nothing but a g***** lie. Every woman likes to feel special and cheap gifts just can't make you feel that way no matter what (unless its just a gift for a regular day). I feel like I wouldn't buy you a gift for under a certain amount so don't do it to me.
I'm sorry but cheap birthday gifts from people you have relations with sicken me. I only said that low amount because it was our first holiday together and I understand you shouldn't spend so much on the first birthday because then you have to improve each time. Its like if you start out with a Gucci bag, you're going to have to end with a Gucci shopping spree or maybe more.
Anyway, after making all these demands he sat there and gave me something beneath me and my standards and I'm pissed. I think he did it just to defy me and to show me that you take what you get. My mom blames it on different lifestyles. She feels it's a matter of culture differences and that he just doesn't like spending money. He and my friends think I'm being ungrateful. I just say that I'm keeping it real and don't mess with a diva if you can't sustain. What do you think?
