Hmmm...my birthday isn't until May, but...

I can expect a $50 gift certificate for Amazon from my brother and Trent. That's what I get from them for any applicable holiday. It doesn't mean I'll see them; I almost always get it sent through email.

My sister will completely (or deliberately) forget, then will laugh and be completely unapologetic when reminded.

My mother will be short on funds. She will probably bake a cake instead, which is cool.

There is about a 5-10% chance that my stepfather will send me a check, for anywhere from $10 to $100. It happens so seldom it really surprises me. I'd still like him to give me the $5300 he conned out of me (long story), or at least hear him admit that he did it.

No one will have time to go to any sort of lunch or dinner for my birthday.

So to all of you who come from a functional family, remember how blessed you are.
