Is there anything you know he wants, or do you have to make up something yourself? If it's the latter, you have my sympathies. Just give me an idea and make things easy.
I've been very anxious about a simple, routine surgery my husband is having on Tuesday. Logically I know he will be fine but my anxiety has been acting up.

Well, he has a bluetooth speaker saved in our Amazon account that I'm looking at, and he also wants a GPS watch so I'm researching those. (Just went to H&F for some good discussions/recommendations.)
The reason I'm a horrible wife* is that there were a number of times this summer when he said "I want a ..." and I replied, "oh, good idea for a birthday present! Don't buy it!" and now the only one of those I can actually remember is the GPS watch. So I'm now wandering the internet trying to remember what those other things might have been.
*I am not really a horrible wife. He almost always buys my present on or after my actual birthday, so this is a thing for us. We are both bad at present-giving.
I hope your H's surgery goes well! It's totally normal to be nervous about surgery, even if it's routine.

We got Mexican takeout last night. Every Mexican takeout place around here gives you a cup of salsa and a cup of some sort of Mexican-y ranch. This is not normal, right?
When your husband accidentally sets off the fire extinguisher in your living room 5 minutes before you need to leave for a wedding...
I'm happy he just volunteered to be the DD
I've also been telling him to make sure his suit was ready to go since yesterday. "Oh, I'll do it tomorrow." Well, we're late now because guess who isn't ready?

This always happens.
OMG, I'll help you bury the body and never tell. My husband pulls shit like that too and I can't stand it.

I have never seen this in all my years of real Mexican takeout.
We're having my family over tomorrow and my mother in law next weekend and I really should be more hyper about the state of my house today but the humidity is STUPID so I am cranky.

I always thought it was because we were in the suburbs and the places we have here are more "Mexican." But we found a real place and they do it too.
This happened at my wedding. I think it was DHs family from California. It was the one time I wasn't all 'Omg, look at the doggy.' This dog was not invited, and the family tried to keep him (big dog) hidden under the table.

I can't imagine just deciding to bring my pet to a wedding. The fact that multiple people in this rather small sample size have seen it is insane. I did have a dog at my wedding, but he is a seeing eye dog so it was fully expected and he was allowed to be there. (I actually have a couple wedding photos of him, harness off, showing his belly to half a dozen people in a small room at my venue that I love.)
I watched something on Hurricane Katrina today, since while I remember it I wasn't really focusing on events at the time. This has led me to watching things about natural disasters in general.
We went to the boat yesterday, and probably will today too though truthfully I kind of want to just stay home in my pjs all day. I'm still jet lagged and tired from our med cruise.

DH and I watched Dear White People last night. It was funny, in a sad kind of way.
Funny, because you know the experience of the black studen at PWIs, can be pretty similar to what was described, and sad, because people still think it's okay to throw "show your inner hood/black parties."
DHs side of the family is coming to visit next Saturday for a week. We were hoping (and told them our intention) to show them around our new city/state that Saturday (they are flying into our city and picking up SIL and BIL from the train here)..since they arent actually staying near us, but an hour and a half north of us.
But nope, they want to watch the Nebraska football game. And we don't have cable. So now they are going to either drive the hour north to watch it in the timeshare...or drive 30 minutes south to watch it at the only Husker bar (that I can find) in the state.
Meanwhile, DH and I will go to the art museum because I am not dealing with their shit.

I lost one of the stones in my wedding ring today. I noticed after getting home and showering after being out for a few hours, so I have no idea where I lost it. On the bright side, at least it wasn't the main stone in my engagement ring?
