Feeling blue

So,  today is my birthday. I'm at work because my fiance has nothing planned. He's still ignoring me. He answers and calls me when he feels like it.  I'm starting to feel like I should break off the engagement and do this alone.  I get tired of repeating myself to him. Any ideas on something I can do alone to lift my spirits?? I'm all ears.

Yesterday was my birthday and i also spent it at work. My husband didn't get me anything because he claims he's gonna have a dinner party for me Saturday. He better have something planned or I'll be really pissed. Happy birthday and try and enjoy your day. U should run a warm bubble bath and relax without thinking about him!

I'm not a big shopper, so if I were you I would... (1) eat dinner at a sushi bar because you don't have to sit alone at a table and you can watch the sushi chef (only order cooked food), (2) head to the mall and pick up some Godiva chocolate truffles, and (3) get a mani/pedi. Hopefully they will let you change the channel on the TV so you can watch whatever you want. It's your birthday!  Worry about fiance another day.

Happy birthday to yooouuu *sing*

I agree with the above ladies, pamper yourself with a mani-pedi and then visit a baby store all dolled up  !!

wishing you a very happy birthday and many more years of happiness, love and good health.

I like the idea of going to a baby store that will always make you feel better. Maybe when you get done doing that if it was me I would go get that one thing that you are dying to eat even if it's a sundae as big as your head. Hope you lift your spirits soon & HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Go to a baby store... I'm going through a nasty break up and I have found when I'm really upset and stressed if I start looking and planning for bubba it really cheers me up and take my mind of the crap and onto something beautiful and positive!
I'm sorry your partner is being a jerk.. Sounds like you may be better off doing it on your own.
