I couldn't either a while back ... the hours were too unorthodox for what I do, and being a single mom made it impossible. That's awesome that you had the opportunity to check it all out, though.


My neice has the flu, and my brother started feeling ill with flu-like symptoms at dinner last night...I had started to feel crappy the day before, but I think all of the vodka I drank last night knocked it right out.

It was more about the money than the hours (J would have been working nights and weekends too if we moved back, and with no kids yet, it could've worked). It might just have worked with him going full time, but between having to pay for healthcare and an increase in rent by moving back, we'd be scraping it. Oh, well, it was still totally cool, and that was worth driving bacl for. . .

My mom has been sick since last Sunday. It seems to be working it's way out, but boy is she miserable right now. So vodka's the trick, huh? Who knew?


OOOOOHHHHHH!

I completely forgot about the greatest gift I got! We won six months of free rent, through a drawing my apartment complex did. We were entered into the drawing by paying our rent on time, apparently. And we won. Six months of free rent (the other reason I couldn't take the job - this will let us put money in savings and pay off a lot of our debt). That was a pretty sweet Christmas gift.

i also got a longhorn vest

Wow! That's 1000$ worth of stuff! Anyways, I just want to let you know the the Video Ipod is definenlty worth it. I've already used up 10 gigs on mine from downloading several movies and videos. The videos are very high resolution!

Well...I don't really plan on using it for video much. I heard all you can download is from Itunes, plus it eats up the battery like a mofo.

True, you only get 2 hours of video playing time. However, you can buy a car plug thingie. Also, you don't have to just watch Itunes stuff. You can download any video and convert them yourself. Apple just wants you to think that you can only watch thier videos.

I got my girl the complete Wonder Years series on DVD. It is all the episodes on like 16 DVDs. She loves the show but it was kind of for me too since it is the greatest television series next to Saved by the Bell.

Intersting side note, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, AKA Zack Morris, took Winnie Cooper to the 7th grade dance in the Wonder Years.

[ShoogarBear]

I got to see the Spurs kick the Pistons' asses . . . on the 2005 Championship DVD (my second copy, but I didn't tell the gift-giver).

[SequSpur]

i got a dvd recorder, 2 jeans, a james avery necklace, the new need for speed game for ps2 and some other stuff.

[T Park]

Im assuming you apologized to your wife, and got her something very nice as well.

right?????????

[SequSpur]

apologized for what?

yeah.. she got a new leather coat with a hood, some perfume, slippers, dvd, etc. etc..

its all good.

[Kori Ellis]

apologized for what?

For saying you were going to buy her pots and pans so she could bake you a pie.

[T Park]

lol exactly.

I would NEVER tell my wife (of course id ont have one, so what do I know)

that im buying her pots and pans so she can bake me food.


lol.

Damn Christmas time, you gotta freakin go all out.

Tennis Bracelets, nice clothes, the best perfume.

Nothing IMO would be out of bounds for my wife, when i get one, on christmas.

[SequSpur]

For saying you were going to buy her pots and pans so she could bake you a pie.

Check this.....

She made chocolate pie, brownies, rice krispy treats, fudge, bought an apple pie and a pumpkin pie.

I wanted to buy her a new electric skillet, but I couldn't find one, every store was sold out of the big sized one.

[T Park]

etc. etc

lol whats that!??!?!?

COME ON!!!

Did you get her some nice stuff.

Cause Ive met your wife, and she deserves freakin pure bars of gold, for putting up with you....

[SequSpur]

Our daughters usually clean house on gifts... Lorie and I buy our gifts last.

So its usually 3-4 things and 20 or so for them...

They are spoiled... But who cares.... I want to give them everything they can have or we can afford.

[SequSpur]

the best perfume.

I went with the new Obsession that is out.... Obsession night I believe..

[Carie]

Way too much, that is for sure. Both of our families did way too much. A sample:

Tons of jewelry, and most of it from James Avery. Always a good box to open My favorites were a charm bracelet (it's my third) and the number charms for all of the Spurs' starters, plus the spur charm. And a great gold & silver bracelet to match the earrings and rings my sister, my mom, and I all have. And some jewelry my sister made, she's awesome.

Kitchen Aid food processor

William's Sonoma serving tray

Lots of pretties to go around the house & to organize things

Book, music, DVDs

Scrapbooking tools

Tons of duct tape. Evil mother-in-law, she bought it because we'd never had any and she knew I didn't like it. Funny as though when I opened it.

John got a basketball signed by all of the Spurs players from last year's championship squad.

Don't be so quick to rule them out, it all depends on what she likes ... I love to cook, and it's something I have to do everyday ... and new pots & pans can get really pricy. I'd LOVE some knew ones. And I don't wear much jewelry, and I only like one kind of perfume....so getting that over and over every holiday is pretty unimaginative.

I got this enormous grill I wanted .... and I was ecstatic. Well, I'd be more ecstatic if he'd hurry up and put the damn thing together....I mean, everyone else has gotten to play with all of their toys already...

I like getting practical gifts that make my everyday life a little easier.

The flu also.

Bob and I really don't get each other anything for Christmas anymore.

[Samr]

The flu also.

I was damn near on my death bed Christmas Eve. Falling to sleep randomly, and often times inappropriately, voice sounded like the noise a fog makes when you step on it with the heel of your boot, and in general I was hoping that Santa would bring me some form of euthanasia.

Until I took some Zithromax.

One more dosage to go (taken once a day, for three days- strong ) and the only thing I have remaining is a minor headache. The flu has nothing on me!

Or Zithromax.

Thanks, Santa.

Aren't gift cards the best??? I love gift cards; it's nice to have 'free' money to spend on yourself.
