my brother does that, too. Not to me, but my mother is gonna pull her hair out.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

ISTG, people, next year I'm doing the cards and all the Christmas stuff in AUGUST. I can't deal.
I finished shopping early this year and I have to say it is annoying me. I can't stop looking and adding little things here and there for the kids (they don't need MORE). I'm also going a bit nuts waiting for them to open their presents. I'm tired of keeping the secrets. Heck, I even bought K-Bug's birthday present already and that is over 3 months away. Gahhhhhhhhh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Socks, gift cards, and a goat from Heifer.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Also, when someone asks you what you want for Christmas/birthday/whatever, (and someone is me and you is my sister), and you say, oh, I don't want anything! or oh, I don't care, anything is fine... that's not actually helpful, okay?
Next year my bro and SiL get a goat from Heifer. Because they do the "I don't know...anything I want I just go ahead and buy...just get me whatever" thing. And so then I do get them whatever, and then feel like my love/worth as a sister is measured in the fact that I bought my bro a water bottle with Cthulhu on it instead of, I don't know, an iPad.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The first year I heard about Heifer I was discussing presents for our mother with my sister. I proudly announced, "I got her half a sheep" ... and, after a long silence during which I KNEW my sister was thinking, "do we have room in the freezer?" "we don't like mutton, or even lamb, that much" and, generally, "WTF?", I explained that it was Heifer and how it worked. She was relieved to find out it wasn't going to be something she'd have to find room for.

Socks, gift cards, and a goat from Heifer.
The trifecta of perfect gifts for the hard-to-buy for.
And the perfect trifecta of gifts for me! Seriously, I would be totally thrilled to get some cool socks, a little gift card for books (or whatever), and a charitable contribution in my name. Sounds just right.
