Hey Vicki,

I always seem to have a problem with birthdays.  See in my view it is your personal holiday and the day you get to be selfish because it is about you.  I used to end up disappointed because, well I guess not everyone sees it quite that way.  Oh well, I've learned not to expect much and enjoy what does happen.  Anyway....

I think you nailed it when you said that it was more about the last time.  You were probably hurt, disappointed and pissed off too.  Try not to let that cloud this time.  Know that you had every right to feel that way but try and let it go.

Now I don't know if this is possible or if it is something that you would want but maybe the answer is having your brother all to yourself for lunch on your b day.  Go along with the plans for tonight and try and arrange a little one on one to celebrate your day.

Well, I don't know if any of that helps much but I truly hope that you have an amazing birthday!!!!
