Celebrating 21.

With the Rebel's birthday this week I've been wondering what to do about a gift. I keep thinking that 21 requires a special momento gift but the girl wants an ipod touch... so that is what she will get. I also told SU that he had to buy it because I was broke and it would have to be from both of us. Given the to-do with RebelJunior's Camera - I don't think I need to pay for her birthday present. Let's not even talk about all the years I planned executed, spent money did everything for the birthdays without his active involvement. okay... I did go and get her a very cute handbag so will pop the ipod into the handbag and she will be surprised.

The meaningful gift will come at another time. Because her birth stone is a diamond I was thinking a diamond pendant or something else similar. Maybe Christmas instead.

Rebel Junior's 16th is two weeks from now too so that is also a big deal birthday. She's organizing an event at a local restaurant with her friends. Again, I wanted to get her jewelry of some kind but she wants clothes. Hollister or Guess jeans and blah blah blah.

So again, Christmas I think might be better for this type of thing. And given she's got the fancy camera ( can you see how much this thing irks me?) yes... I am getting past it - working on it - something way more modest is all she's getting. I reminded her about Rebel's 16th when I did NOTHING - because Rebel was such a Rebel that I couldn't bring myself to celebrate anything. I told RJ she was heading in the same direction.

Haven't heard from the Barracuda yet on the separation agreement. If I get nothing by Wednesday I'll call the office and demand an appointment to sign off and get done.
