I am one of those unlucky individuals who has a late December birthday (after Christmas before new years). And as a result I typically get combo presents. Not a big deal as a mid 30s guy but was a tough pill to swallow as a kid.
This year for my birthday my lovely wife (Tori) organized a bday dinner for me with some friends that were still in town for the holidays. Dinner was filled laughter and playful conversations. One of our friends asked Tori if she had big plans for my birthday and she joking said, “tonight I might break out the blind and whips.” Followed by a laugh around the table.
We wrap up dinner and Tori and I hop in the car and have the same debate that I imagine most past 30 couples have. Should we go get a post dinner drink at another place or just head home. Tori says she’s kinda tired and we can just open a bottle wine at home. So home it is.
