I'm starting my end-of-year birthday and Christmas shopping.
And I can't take it.
I may just have to give some of the gifts early.
I ordered something for Jon today with his birthday in mind. That's just two weeks away, but I may have to give it to him early.
I just can't make it two weeks.
It's just so exciting to know exactly what someone will like and then get it for them! How am I supposed to hold onto it?
It's that time of year when I sell more on ebay just so I can turn around and buy that one thing that the kids really want for Christmas.
Jack's birthday gift arrived last week and if the boys would not have snatched it up and hidden it, I may have already given it to him. This child is going to freak out. As in run-around-screaming freak out. I'm dying to write what it is, but what if he reads this??? Jack, oh Jackie-boy, are you out there reading this? If you are, I got you a Barbie for your birthday. That's right, a High School Musical cd and a Barbie.
As for Jon's gift, I would so love to tell you about it too, and I would probably be safe because he doesn't read my blog. He only likes to read it when it's about a penis talking at Taco Bell or a fight with a hotel manager where his crazed wife yells out stuff about pubic hair (see old posts, April '08, if you are strangely interested. Then call for help.) Jon, oh Jonny boy, are you out there? If you are, I got you the platinum medley collection of southern gospel songs, all for you, my love.
So, does anyone else have a hard time keeping present secrets or is it just me?

I so have that problem!! I sometimes get it wrong though and the person doesn't love it as much as I anticipated. You're a good gift giver, right? Do you have a bad gift giver in your family? You have to smile big and not seem bewildered when you get cow slippers from your sister-in-law. Maybe it was a gag gift???
i just want to know what people have gotten ME!
my sister is like that, and I always laugh because I know that if she does Christmas shopping early (for her son especially), she'll have to do it all over again right before Christmas because she'll have given it all to him before December.
ps. my husband doesn't read my blog either. He never gets online, so I use that as an excuse. It COULDN'T be that he's not all that interested in my deepest (or mostly not so deep) thoughts. No way. He hangs on to my every word in real life so why would it be any different in internet land (ha).
