Anne Marie - I am sorry! But now you can come to our pity party. Then again, you have a VERY special day tomorrow, so maybe you should get to bed. I was telling DH that only having one child was probably a ding against us, especially since DS is almost 12. But apparently there won't be any rhyme or reason to who made it to the next round. Unless they went through the DIS and got rid of everybody with more than 300 posts!
I am getting ready to go shopping in the "Giant Catalog of Crap" to decide which of these utterly useless things will be the least useless. It is DS's band fundraiser and he is convinced that the earth will stop spinning if he doesn't sell some of these lovely gift items. Gag, gag.
Tom - I see you are gearing up to list on EvilBay!! I hope the auctions go well! One thing I happened to think of, though. You might want to read through the rules about selling items with copyrighted images. I think maybe the Mrs. Potato Head dress might violate that. We don't want you to get in trouble with the EvilBay police!
Speaking of police, we had a SWAT officer shot in the neck this morning right near the stores where DH is working this week. DH saw all the emergency vehicles. The officer was serving a drug warrant.
DH took everything out of his wallet except his DL, his debit card, and his insurance cards. He is working in a rough neighborhood this week and he is really worried about being robbed. Realistically, he is being very smart. I would much rather just deal with the loss of the debit card than with multiple things. I would imagine DH would be more likely to hand over his wallet if he knows there isn't much in there.
Would you like to hear about the edible crap, or the inedible crap?
Edible: Nuts, chocolates, dried fruit mix, peanut brittle.
Inedible: Candles (lots of them), ornaments, note paper (not all occasion cards which I would actually use), sticky jewels to decorate your cell phone, tissue paper and ribbons for gift wrapping.
There are also magazine subscriptions but none of the magazines are ones I would read.
Heidi - There IS something that you and Vicki might like. It is a Build a Bear magnet set. 2 animal magnets (one bear, one bunny) and 39 pieces of magnetic clothing to dress them in!
Actually, if the pieces weren't so tiny I could get that for Princess. But since they scream "choking hazard" I guess I won't.
The form has to be turned in tomorrow. DS just looked through it again and he didn't see anything he wants, either. I think I am going to go with the cinnamon scented hot pad/coaster thing for my coffee mug. I just hope it doesn't smell gross.
