Damn. Oh well, I hope she's okay with skimping a bit on one of her two gifts within two weeks!
My wife's birthday is Christmas Eve. It's also the date of our engagement. I got off buying an engagement ring and that satisfied our engagement, her birthday, and Christmas, all in one. I was gonna have to buy the ring anyway but I got out of buying two other presents. I can be a real tight ass at times. . We've been married 21 years.
