anyone else blow their own presents?

[mtemm]

my dh was unexpectedly running out to do errands, including some christmas shopping, late this afternoon. I asked if he could stop by barnes and noble and pick up a book I want to give my mom. He comes home with the book and I ask if he thought to get a gift receipt...he said no. I just grabbed the regular receipt out of the bag to see if there was anything else on it and could just send it to my mom in case she has the book already.

Well, there are 3 books on the receipt. One for my mom, one I know he bought for a foster kid program they are doing, and a third one. I figured he bought himself something and I called him on it, but he said no, he kept saying it was the one he bought for the foster kid, etc. I keep arguing saying I can see the one he bought for the foster kid, but they accidently charged you for a third book. Fianlly he gets mad at me and it hits me....oops! its for me!

oops!

OMG yes!

a few years ago, a Tire Store called here, asked for DH, I asked for a message 'tell him vic from tire store called, his rims are in"..so I say- WHAT rims..(3 weeks before xmas),,,he says I don't know what ones, I ask WHAT SIZE??? he says- 16"....first thing pops to my head, DH's Cadi had 16" rims..

I call him at work, LIVID that he'd buy rims 3 weeks before xmas etc.... after he says "no must be DBIL's"....must be DFIL...the guy called the wrong house etc... I'm still LIVID...he finally says

FINE THEY ARE FOR YOUR TRUCK....HAPPY NOW???

oh I felt like a HEAL!!! then what do ya say.."gee it wasn't okay for you to spend the $$ on your cadi, but if there for my truck, it's okay"..

Happened just today...

I was out and tried to use my cell phone but it wouldn't work - said something about not having any service. Huh??? So when I got home I asked DH if he had done anything with my cell phone - such as buying a new one for me for Christmas. He wouldn't tell me but I guess I know...

Oh yes but, the gift I'M getting was supposed to be our FAMILY gift. Real original. Anyway, I was checking our credit card bill online and, there were 3 Best Buy transactions. I knew about 2 of them but, I had to call about one of them anyway..duplicate. So, in my conversation with Best Buy, I asked about the 3rd. Day after Thanksgiving, location of store and, items purchased were all given to me......WOW, I was amazed. Anyway, it seems DH bought the family gift, for me, and got himself something as well. I told him I hope he wrapped his gift because that's all he's getting, too! j/k

In case you're wondering, MY family gift was a DVD player. He got a DVD/VCR player. Fine by me.

I went to go get something out of DH's trunk and there was a Toys R Us bag in there...I thought, "Wow, he actually went shopping for the kids" (he usually leaves that to me or we go together) so I peeked in it. It was the cutest Disney Castle Kid Clips player that I had whined that I wanted when I saw it in a Toys R Us add AND the Little Mermaid clips to go with it. He doesn't know I saw it, but I KNOW he must be quite pleased with himself that he got me something I like so much. I don't want to wreck it for him. The funny thing is we bought DS2 the little Disney Kid Clips radio and I bought a TON of clips- DH even said, you need one of those for your desk...and that's when I blathered on and on about how they had a CASTLE player that came with It's a Small World...etc.. what a good guy!

A package arrived in the mail from Old Navy yesterday and I thought it was my order. I opened it up and found a sweater I didn't order. I'm thinking "Oh no--They sent me the wrong order" Then I check the mailing label and it was addressed to DH. OOps! I had never thought that he might have ordered me something from Old Navy.
