Dear Blog,
Oh, what else is new? I have not updated in a week and I am aging precipitously. Tomorrow, I will have aged a whole other year. Though my actual birthday dinner/get-together will be postponed for 2 months. Because my birthday, per usual, falls amidst finals preparations. This means 3 classes tomorrow, plus 2 "LiveTalks" (basically conference calls for online courses, a quiz, and an assignment to turn in. On the plus side, I won't be holed up in the library during my surprise birthday party, so it's a win, win, and an improvement over previous birthdays. Plus, there will be jelly beans, brownies, and gluten-free cake. (and, presumably, friends to share this with, though that's hardly important)
(I should know by now that passive aggression doesn't not work on my mother, but every year, I hope and try)
Moi: You guys realize that [Brother's] birthday is next Friday, right? Are you getting him something?
Mother: Oh next Friday? Already?
Moi: And you do realize that another birthday comes the day before that, right? You have two children.
Mother: Doesn't ring a bell. Son's birthday on Friday. Got it.
