Happy birthday, @meesterboom! Go ahead, celebrate all weekend. And then, maybe a guitar pedal from Amazon will show up a few days later. With all your partying, you won't remember ordering it - so does it really count as an extra expense? Or the universe wanting you to have that gift at any price? If you've really celebrated too many birthdays, you can count on your "doddering old self" ordering expensive gifts every year. Win-win. Your wife will understand as she raids your squirrel stash. I suspect she has always known where it is, but likes to humor you. Hope this next year is your best yet!
