i brought on the bitchy this weekend, boy did i. it was either fussing about the fact that Conan asks for directions after he turns the key in the ignition and starts driving (so that we have to back track 2 blocks to see the damn White House Christmas tree), or making him come back to the table after he uses the excuse of Tivoing Desperate Housewives to take his dinner downstairs just so that he can watch football. um, sorry, there are 2 hours before the show starts, you just sat down at the table and for all of the lecturing that you do to The Governor about not spilling/talking nicely at the table you better have a bulletproof excuse or you can sit your ass down and eat, mister.
i told Conan that i'm like the federal administrative process: give me adequate notice and opportunity for a hearing and everything should go smoothly. but alas, Conan never took administrative law. he is also a) male, and b) the youngest of three children, and c) male, so ex ante communication is not his forte. i'm going to have to consult Dr. J0hn Gray on this just to learn how to cope. i know it's hokey, but it's something to hold on to.
i've turned into the hoarder from hell lately, feeling guilty about every single Christmas-related financial outlay. the solution this year is to give handmade photo albums from kits to extended family member groupings, and we have about 6 of these types of gifts to give. they fulfill my desire to give something handmade and heartfelt, but the total outlay for these is about $90. it's okay to spend $90 for a total of 12 people right? somebody tell me this is okay. please?
Posted by equilibrium-girl at November 28, 2004 09:03 PM$90 for 12 people is incredibly thrifty! Come on, that's only $7.50 per person, plus shipping expenses. We could all learn from this master gifting proposal.
