My mother called.

She asked what I wanted for my birthday, AGAIN. She's been asking me since Christmas, and I just keep telling her "nothing!". She said they're going into the city tomorrow to see the jeweler, and she said they want to give me something nice.

I said, you know what I would LOVE? If you take whatever $ you were going to spend on my birthday and my old (round) diamond studs, and upgrade them to larger, and princess cut (to match my relatively new e-ring.)

Well Mom thought this was the STUPIDEST idea, saying that I should be happy with the studs they bought me years ago. I'm not UNHAPPY with them, I'd just rather have ones that match my e-ring! She said that was a worse idea than what she already had in her head.

SOOOOOO, she asks what I want, then puts it down - AND manages to make me feel like an idiot....all in 5 minutes! woo!

I don't really want ANYTHING for my birthday- PLEASE stop asking

I thought it was a great idea! Tell her she can buy you the earrings and you'll just keep the old ones.

Nic - I thought it was a lovely idea. Although she may have gotten insulted that you asked her to improve on a past gift
