Thursday night I gave my Secret Santee her gift. She seemed to enjoy it. Thanks to everyone that suggested a Nordstrom’s gift card. I got one in silver for her. I got a Borders Gift Card from my Secret Santa, and I purchased the Joy of Cooking with it. A post about cooking will come soon.
I got some good gifts from the family, and I gave some good ones too. Everyone seemed happy with them. I still spent more on myself than I did for others, but I didn’t skimp pricewise for anyone. I feel good about that.
Well, I'm probably the 50 billionth person to show this video to you, but still! I think this is a very romantic gift for that special young lady in your life...
I agreed to participate in Secret Santa at work. There are only two people in the office that I can’t think of a good gift for. Naturally, I got one of the two people. Before we picked at random, it was decided that each person would put down three things they are interested in on the slip of paper that had their name. This would help the Secret Santa figure out what to get. What did my person say? “Surprise me”. So much for that idea.
I’m one of those lucky people that has a gift for gifting, but it’s a talent that only works when you talk to someone a fair bit. In a worst-case scenario, there are certain “safe” gifts. These are things that work for a large number of people, but are often the sort of thing that someone doesn’t know exists, or is something that someone would never buy for themselves. Unfortunately not every safe gift works for every person, so I guess I’ll try to figure out something this weekend. Too bad popcorn on the cob is out.
Here are shows that I don’t watch and/or I have never seen:
Lost Any CSI Any Law and Order Desperate Housewives Grey’s Anatomy Scrubs ER
I only started watching 24 last year, and I’ve never seen a complete episode of Friends. I do watch TV. I’m just not watching what everyone else is watching. I also have moral opposition to any show that takes place in Orange County, CA, but that's another post.
