so.
~ i planned the birthday surprise.
~ rounded up 38 gifts (excluding the ompodi)
~ had the bag hidden in a corner of our home
~ called him at exactly midnight
and he’s working from home. with a couple of other colleagues. racing towards a deadline.
never mind. just take a look, i say.
and he says, “i’ll keep everything as it is. when you come back here in January, let’s open the gifts together.”

These mens!! 🙄
kodumai
He loves you, thasswhy…look on the positive side…he wants your loving company while he opens them.
Happy Birthday MMMiM!!!

39 reasons to fly into a rage with starry
There, there, Mim. Take some deep, calming breaths. 😛
Jus plan next year’s birthday gift as a revenge. A banian that’s pre-worn with 39 holes. 😈
Better?
LOL 😛
yay to starry’s comment…I agree MiM, he wants your loving company 🙂
Happy Birthday MMMiM 🙂
when you give him the 38 kicks up anywhere, please include one from me too.
And dont forget to catch the whole thing on video! 😀
i did better. told him i’d give him 38 missed calls (salman style) till he opened the presents.
ROFL.
Romance at its best.
lol@your headache
If he’d agreed to open the gifts, you’d have then asked him which of those he liked and what he thought.. all in front of the colleagues!!!!
I am with the MMMiM on this one.
Happy B’day MMMiM.

vaaryum vayirum gal, so cant really fly into a rage with you…
see me after you deliver, appo vechikarane
LOL! I forgot to add that he would’ve opened and marveled at the gifts after the siva-poojai-la-karadi colleagues left. Your 38 reasons should really be at those nadurathiri colleagues. Poor MMMiM.
When he opens his gifts, you can see his reaction in person. You wouldn’t want to miss that, would you?
heh heh some of the gifts were v. forgettable: like a stapler and a post it pad
I hope playing cards are in the list.
they totally werent
Hmpf! Men, I tell you!
precisely
1 reason MiM ought to write a book titled “How to surprise your husband of many years when you are tending to two children, one house, holiday packing and umpteen daily chores.” Sub-titled “Marriage is a lot of hard work. Deal with it.”
i could write the book, only i am too tired
There is no fun in opening the gifts alone seriously 😐
and what’s fun in celebrating your birthday with your colleagues with deadline hovering on the head ..not good at all. 😦
and the colleagues left at 4 am. he didnt open the gifts till much laaater
You might as well have sent him 38 mails, one after the other..
Didn’t you tell him a few of there were timed to burst into music/ explode/ decay if he does not open right away? I would have said something in that lines…
lol!
can do for next year
ohhh these guys!!! 😦
whats with these men I say..I wud prefer my husband open the gifts and gop ooh and ahh over the fone abt it.hmm..enna solli enna prayojanam..en purushanukku emotions kaatrthunna kilo enna vilai
lol! yenga veetlayum adhey case daan
Men!
Did you give him the missed calls?
