Well, I went to Mikes house tonight. When I got there it was cute because his mom had made some coffee and she picked up two small pastry's from the bakery for my birthday. After we finished dessert I opened up gifts.
Now, heres the thing. Michael got me this very pretty, very delicate gold chain and attached was a locket. On the outside of the locket it says.....
"Forever in my Heart" with a pretty rose. The inside says "When someone you love becomes a memory the memory becomes a treasure."
I thought it sounded a little like something you'd give to someone who was grieving and then they'd put a picture of the deceased person in there, right?....heh. Well I just got home and put it into google and sure enough....it is. =/ It literally says on one of the websites.... "This locket is for someone that wants memories of a loved one that has passed on."
I love Michael with all my heart and more but....wtf??? Really, WTF!!
Here is the thing. His Grandmother orders things from catalogs all the time. I mean, this women has closets full of stuff she ordered. Well, because of this when someones birthday or Christmas comes around she says "Oh, maybe Jen might like this." I have at least 3 things that he's given me for my birthday, Christmas or an anniversary that came from her.
Now, it's the thought that counts right? I completely agree, but what kind of thought did he really put into this gift? It's not even something you'd give your significant other. It's for someone who is grieving!
Money doesn't matter to me. He could have spent 5 bucks on me and I'd be happy. All I want is to know that he took some time-with me in mind, and looked around a store(not his grandmas house)and said "ya know what, I think Jen would really like this."
So, now this is my dilemma. What do I do? Do I tell him? Should I be angry? because I think I am....
Help! Ladies, if you're reading this let me know! Tell me if I'm justified in feeling the way I do. Even you Men, maybe you can tell me what he was thinking...and what I should do. I don't want to hurt his feelings...but at the same time mine are kinda hurt at the total lack of thought that went into this...heh
