Happy Birthday to Me :)

My perfectly miserable week ended perfectly...with the perfect birthday bash thrown for me by my dear hubby :)

So here's how the week went...

Monday: I woke up, was all whiny by the time I got ready to go to work that some thing doesn't feel right. Hubby wasn't too concerned at the time (I am quite the whiner!) By evening I was complaining of "tickling in my lungs" (Congestion!)

Tuesday: Was well documented in my previous post :)

Wednesday: Worst day of all. Hubby left me curled up in front of my laptop, with a phone in front of me on speaker and mute. I could barely comprehend anything. He got back, I was still there, very weak, barely able to talk. He made me soup, I couldn't even hold the spoon, he somehow managed to feed me the whole bowl.

Thursday: Similar to Wednesday, marginally better. I did manage to get a lot of office work done, whew! He brought me biryani because I didn't want any roti. He also got me some dessert which he gave to me at 12:00 with a "Happy Birthday"!

Friday: He stayed home with me! He confessed that he was planning a surprise which is not possible anymore. He was going to pretend to go to work as usual. But instead he was gonna go grocery shopping, and come right back and cook me a grand feast. And hide it all by the time I got home from work. But now I was at home, so no surprise :( But would I still like it if he cooked that feast. I said sure, just don't make it too elaborate, don't know how much I can eat :(

So he went grocery shopping, worked ALL day, coming in every once in a while to check on me. Then at 9:30 he walked in with a box, a gift for me :) It was a pretty pretty dress! He said dinner's almost done, you get ready, come out only when I call you.

When I walked out, the corridor was dark...I found my way to the living room...all lit up with candles, then to the dining room, more candles...




and the first course...
Samosa chaat :)


The main course...chicken curry and tomato chutney :)



And finally, there was orange souffle with orange sauce!!


He MADE all of this!!!! I had an absolutely wonderful birthday, am feeling well again.

BUT :(((( He woke up today with a fever :((( Hope he gets better soon. He is very stubborn and won't take medicines until HE thinks he should, and will only take what HE thinks he should.

So...I do hope to post soon again that he's all shiny and new like me too!

Thanks everyone who kept tabs on me, and asked how I was feeling everyday. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and much loved :)

Thanks Ankur and Sourish for the birthday wishes :)

Satish Bolla said...

it was so sweeeeeeeet. kudos to ur hubby 4 arranging such a sweet b'day party.
but shall i confess one thing? these posts are giving me jitters. almost all the female bloggers are writing posts abt their b'days being celebrated in a grand way by their hubbies or some wonderful dishes prepared by their hubbies. i'm afraid b'coz i dont know how to cook..... :(
anyways, did i forget to wish u a belated b'day? sorry. have a great blast ahead.
convey my "get well soon" wishes to ur hubby

aneri_masi said...

@anjuli, ekta.. Thanks, girls :)

@satish, nah, aisa koi zaroori nahi that u cook, just show that you care in whichever way you can and its good enuff. waise even I can't cook so well, so am all nervous abt what to do for his bday. I guess I will put a comedy show for him, thats what I seem to be good at...making ppl laugh, haha :)

Cinderella said...
