kyburgJim found all his Christmas presents in their hiding spot last night. Didn't even have to try hard.
*blows air*
Guess I get to start over, try to think of a better hiding place...and oh yeah, think of something else. This year is going to be a toughie - he either has everything he wants, or it's out of the budget range this year.
AUGH.
Me?
So far, all my birthday presents have been for the kid. Yanno, the one we're adopting? Maybe? Someday?
I might also add - my Amazon list is largely used for reminding me to get things I want - you can use it for a guide, but they are largely things I'd buy myself. Eventually.
It's not that I'm asking for anything, mind. Presents are optional, etc.
But let me make a few suggestions.
1. You wish to gift me? Gift me. Not something to be used by me for someone else, okay? (Is this a hard one? I feel stupid for having to say it.)
2. I really hate gift cards. I lose them. Always. Want to give me cash? Give me cash. Attached to a brick or something I can't misplace.
3. I really hate bell peppers. I'm allergic to mangoes. Take a risk on something you think I might like to try, that I haven't. I get very locked into routines - breaking me out of them is a Good Thing. Seriously.
4. I'd love some favors. Volunteer to wash my car or help me clean out the closet. Seriously.
5. Think of something we can do together after the holidays, set a date and let's do it. I don't care of it's pie, coffee and karaoke. After hosting all the parties lately, my social bar is full but my fun bar is completely in the red. Let's not talk about how low the energy levels are, 'kay? All I wanna do is show up for a change. I do dishes -
It really is the thought here, guys - I'm a very cheap date, just be clever.
And that is the whine for the day. My to-do list runneth over.
