I just got a jewelry birthday gift yesterday, and I keep having the urge to post on Facebook to tell my friends how happy I am with the present from my husband. However, I keep thinking this will be seen as showing off/bragging or hypocritical seeing as we've been very open about how we're working hard to pay off our student loan debt ASAP. I don't want to justify my gift, I just want to enjoy it as the special thing that it is.
What do you do when you get a new piece? Show it off to friends/family? Say nothing and let them notice for themselves? My friends know of my jewelry obsession (heck, I've now helped 5 friends buy engagement rings) but my social anxiety is off the charts when it comes to this. My birthday isn't until the end of the month, so I'm nervous for when people ask, "What did you do/get for your birthday?" I am always inserting my foot directly into my mouth and just want to have something gracious to say (for once).
