She did it to me again!
When will I learn?
My mother asked for my Christmas List and I gave it to her:
A Magic Bullet Express Blender to make my smoothies and energy drinks.
A Thumper Mini Pro II Massager which will cut down on my Chiropractor visits.
A Polar Heart Rate Monitor in Pink of course.
And a stylish winter coat.
The response was,
"What do you want that for?"
"I don't think it's proper for you to ask your mother to buy you this."
"NO!"
"I never know what you like"
"I'm not getting you any of this why can't you ask for normal things? I'll get you a gift certificate for Stop & Shop (is that really a gift for me or my family?) and maybe something else."
And on the other side of the fence I asked Zorba to get me something "girlie" and he said he doesnt' do girlie he does practical.
Just once I'd like a "diamond ad" Christmas.
You know what I mean?

At least you have a list. I can't get her to say more than "You know." And I say "I don't know." And she says "You know" again.
i definitely got you something "girlie" and for YOU only!
Typical me - until I followed those links I assumed that they were all sex toys :o)
It's a such a shame that so many around you see you as a mother rather than a woman.
this is why i hate those diamond ads at the holidays! (and the car commercials. puh-LEASE.)
here's hoping santa brings you something really special.
I don't see anything wrong with any of those things, and if I hadn't heard about your mother before, I would wonder what is wrong with her.
so what would be on your "girlie" list?? you deserve it.

Uugghh . . . the annual struggle. Over time, I've come to assume that if it's something people really need or want, they'll either buy it themselves, or they'll tell you, as you've told her. I would LOVE to get a nice, clean, succinct list like that.
Of course, I would need to add my own special surprises, but that's the fun of it, anyway. ;-)
My list would have exactly one thing on it . . . seeing you in your little "I Dream of Genie" outfit again, on Christmas Eve . . . kids asleep . . . sitting in by the tree . . . fire in the fireplace . . . Dean singing "Baby It's Cold Outside" . . .
Okay, maybe that's 5 things.

Good Morning Dark Lady,
Remember diamond ads are made to make people want, do you really wish to be wanting?
Don't let the marketers get to you.
I know what you mean. You don't really want the diamond--you want someone to look at you that way, to think about getting a gift that will be yours and yours alone, one that he obviously spent a lot of time (which is more important than the money involved) choosing, that expresses to you how he sees you and how he wants you to see him at the same time...
A gift that you will forevermore look at and remember that special, precious moment of love.
I love giving gifts like that. I tried to do that for my wife. Most of them were then given to her dealer in exchange for crack.

Hi DL,
Hey-- if you absolutely have to have a pink HRM, doesn't that limit the variety of HRMs you can choose from?
XOXO

I think you misspelled daiquiri as "smoothie."
