It's always a struggle to decide how much of my private life to disclose on this thing. I realize my pathetic love life is exciting to all of you old married people, but I worry that someone, somewhere will accidently stumble onto this thing and rat me out to LB, who would be mortified.
This week someone from Billy Blanks Enterprises found the Drivel and loved that Paige loves tae bo. Now I have nightmares of BB making me do three hours of cardio for talking about LB too much. Granted, my pal Paige is skinnier than she's been in ten years, but I don't wanna put down my french toast and jab whilst lifting my big, fat thighs, even if it would get me in my skinny jeans.
But I digress. I also lie, because I promised not to talk about the boy anymore.
I just can't help myself.
I've been obsessing this week about his birthday next month. I emailed some friends to see if they wanted to join us for a casual dinner, and one of my girlfriends totally hijacked the plans. My low-key dinner has now turned into a big surprise party. Which he will HATE.
He's just not one for hoopla. Granted, paying the guy at the piano bar ten bucks to sing "Happy Birthday" to him when it's not really his birthday is amusing (that might have happened just last week). Doing it on his real birthday? Not so much.
We are not dating. I am not presumptuous enough to plan a party. How did this get out of control so quickly?
Question: what do you buy a guy you're not dating for a milestone birthday?

If you're gonna get a gift, might as well get a gift that you've put some thought into. Something you know he's into. But don't spend too much. This is hard!
I don't, however, advise you to get him a teal teapot full of things memorable to only the two of you. Too early for that.
Ah, Jen, you are so awesome. Only you could work in a Jim Halpert reference on this post.
Oh, and that's what she said.
