Hey Stepharoonie!

[goofygirl]

I'm just dying to know what kind of gifts you got this year after your stories on the "bad gifts" thread!

Especially want to know what Ex MIL (aka The Frozen Dog Lady) gave you!

Hope you answer!

Hey Goofygirl!


It's so sad, I've been working non stop that I haven't had time to finish my Las Vegas with the In Laws story. Phooey! I'll try hard to finish it tonight or this afternoon. Or, I'll just post what I have.

I was surprised that I received anything for Christmas this year, considering I'm going through a divorce. But, this is what I did receive this year from the Grandmother and the ex MIL (yes, the frozen pup lady):

From the ex Grandmother:
A silver rose picture frame. The glass was dirty and smudged, and had some goopey substance on it. The roses were tarnished. The black velvet on the black had something with the consistency of oatmeal on it.

A photo album. Now, this I'm going to have to take pictures of to show you guys, because it was truly bizarre. My boyfriend was disgusted and threw it across the room while I laughed myself silly after opening it. It's one of those OLD photo albums that are made of some funky plastic vinyl with pictures of a Fall forest all over it. In crumbling gold letters, it says PHOTO ALBUM on the cover. Well, duh. What else would it be? The pages inside have that sticky stuff that keeps pictures inside...at least, it WAS sticky once. It's not covered with the remnants of old photos. It came with an added bonus: a page of coupons attached inside for Eckerd's. The coupons have an expiration date of 12/31.........1982. Whoops, looks like I missed that one.


A Christmas card. Ooh! It was so old, it had her name inside, but someone dated it 12/25/89.

Oatmeal. I guess this is where the oatmeal on the picture frame came from. A Tupperware bowl of cooked oatmeal. Cold. The consistency was very close to concrete.


From the ex MIL (and I have to admit, this REALLY surprised me to get anything):

Cow soap. Soap in the shape of a cow inside of a cow box. It smells....well, like a cow. Kinda gross. Maybe she was telling me I'm a cow or a stinky person for leaving her son?

A box of thank you cards. One was missing. The "BIG LOTS, BIG MARKDOWN!" sticker on the back said it was 50 cents. Woot!

A card. My name was misspelled. It said, "To Step. Love, Mommy in Law!" Uhh...ok. Well. I guess that was nice. But no one has ever referred to me as "Step"

As an added late Christmas gift, my ex FIL tried to get my 2 year old daughter to clean up dog poop diarrhea off of his porch yesterday morning when I dropped her off (in case you were wondering, she goes to Church Sunday mornings with them as I have to work). He handed her a poopy filled dustpan and a poopy filled brush and asked if she wanted to clean up poo poo as her Christmas gift. Now, why in the world would anyone ask something stupid like that? And why ask a 2 year old? Luckily, Miss Maddy ran away screaming about touching poo poo. That's my girl!
