Sherri Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I just found out I'm not getting anything for Christmas. Just because we agreed to no presents? NOW she chooses to listen to me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Oh that's classic, Sherri! Sherri: "OK, we're agreed. No presents this year, right?" Friend: "Well, if you're sure about that, OK." Sherri: "Eee-yup, I'm sure. NO presents." Later that same day... Sherri, to herself: "What the hell have I done?? She really didn't believe me, did she? Naaaah, she's gonna get me stuff. Yeah, she will. I'm sure of it. I really didn't mean it anyway. She knows that, right? Sure she does. She should, at least..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherri Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Yep, you pretty much nailed it Sobo. Doesn't everyone know that "no presents" means "you should know me well enough to know that I want something without having to tell you I want something and you should know what that something is and have it nicely wrapped under the tree so I can be suprised that you got me a present.?" It's like that REI commercial where the girlie tells her B/F "oh, just make me a card...AND PUT IT IN A KAYAK." This isn't rocket science here people, for Pete's sake. Girls have needs, material needs, that cannot be fully met in just one gift-giving occasion per year. That's why we have birthdays AND Christmas. It's a system you don't mess with just because somebody mentions something in passing about "no presents this year, right? Yeah, yeah, blah blah, whatever you want honey, blah blah." Of course, to complicate matters, I DID get her something. Something very special, in fact. Not a "present" in the technical sense--it can't be wrapped up or bought, so I was abiding by the "no presents" contract in theory--but it was something I did for her from the heart. Now my Christmas heart is going to have a big ol'crack in it the size of a #5 Camalot, which happened to be one of the presents I didn't want to not get.

Putting the seat down after you flush does NOT qualify as even a non-present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmncwrtr Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Aw, G-spotter :kisss: I love that clip! Thanks. Bummer, Sherri. That's happened to me and it sucks. Hugs, sweetie. We checked NoradSanta, read a couple of books, left out cookies and milk for Santa and celery and carrots for the reindeer. The wee ones just went to bed, now to wait for them to fall asleep.

Sherri Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 That's awesome, Muffy. We used to have rigatoni for special celebrations back when I lived in Pennsylvania. Way to keep it real! We had our "white elephant" gift exchange with our dearest friends for Solstice. We came home with a poodle trivet. But we got rid of a wool macrame owl towel rack(I AM NOT kidding. The thing was butt-ugly scary. Even had real feathers stuck to it. ) Peace and love to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was living in Az. there were several people from Ohio and they brought those to a cookie exchange. I was so glad the recipe was included. And we've polished off the cookies and milk already. Sounds like a fun time, Muffy! You can't beat Italian food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
