I gave the "birthday sleuths" most of the day to wish me a happy birthday. So when evening came around and there was still no post, I had to take matters into my own hands.
I got cash from my parents and the in-laws, which I used to buy myself a badly needed pair of new hiking boots. I also got a roasting pan from my sister -- very astute of her as I asked to borrow hers about a month ago. There's a mystery gift on its was through the mail from my brother, which should be waiting for me whe I return from Seattle on Wed. And don't forget the TV (from me!) that I got a great deal on last week.
I figure I'll get off easy for my wife's birthday in October. She's already getting a second child, and anything I get her will pale in comparison, so why try....
