And I totally understand why that pillow was such a meaningful gift. I'm not sure what it says about our expectations, though, if we are impressed simply by the proof that a man pays attention and listens to us. Shouldn't we assume that they are listening and paying attention? (At least when football isn't on?) Sigh...<BR/><BR/>Jamie--You're right. The eye shadow that came with that thing sucked. And please don't ever demonstrate for me the acting-out of the word "missionary," OK? I really don't need to see that. ;-)Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128238432671375399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-1167251215532213442006-12-27T14:26:00.000-06:002006-12-27T14:26:00.000-06:00Stef, I wish I'd read this before consulting your ...Stef, I wish I'd read this before consulting your Amazon.com wish list for gift ideas. I'm one of those crazy people who would actually give a Chia pet as a gift. One Christmas, I gave a Chia pig to my sister (who loves and collects pigs). She managed to keep it alive for several years. All wrapped up in Christmas lights, it was adorable.<BR/><BR/>I also had one of those Barbie heads, and learned (or at least tried to learn) how to French braid on her hair. The fun lasted until the aforementioned sister colored all over her face with a blue crayon that I'd been artfully using as eye shadow (since the make-up that came with her never actually stuck).<BR/><BR/>Your best gift ever got me thinking. Something like this would be great for a family member, too. The same sister will woop with laughter anytime we hear the word "missionary" (a word drawn as an "act out" card when we were once playing Cranium; nuff said). Oh, and remember when Jan tried to act out "nibble"? Which reminds me, over the holidays, I heard my other sister (the one with triplets), who'd forgotten to bring nipples for the baby bottles, call my other sister to ask, "Hey, do you guys have any nipples? You do? Two each?" ... And this isn't even counting all the funny quips from my nieces and nephews. (Upon asking my 2-year-old in-potty-training nephew if he needs to use the toilet, "Nope, I'm good!")<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I hope your gifts this year were great, if only near as cool as the ones mentioned in your list...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-1167235225758541522006-12-27T10:00:00.000-06:002006-12-27T10:00:00.000-06:00I will admit to secretly wanting a Chia pet of som...I will admit to secretly wanting a Chia pet of some sort.<BR/><BR/>One of the best gifts I ever got was a bed pillow. From the guy I was dating at the time. I had randomly remarked some weeks earlier that my neck hurt, and I thought I needed a new pillow. I was so touched when he bought me one for Christmas--I couldn't believe he actually listened and remembered that.lizgwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907508137794025189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12047376.post-1167226292117253692006-12-27T07:31:00.000-06:002006-12-27T07:31:00.000-06:00"I'm not going to suck your jug."Wow!

It's the 26th now as I'm typing this, so perhaps I should wish you a happy Boxing Day?<BR/><BR/>Anniina--Yep, but I didn't have the Barbie Dream House or the Barbie swimming pool (which I really wanted), so you don't have to get TOO jealous or anything. I didn't have an Easy Bake oven, either, though strangely I don't remember ever really wanting one. Ah, my fate as a lazy and disinterested domestic was sealed early, it seems.<BR/><BR/>Metalia--The Chia Man head is a little too over-the-top absurd for me, but I appreciate the whimsy of it nonetheless and I certainly would respect you if you owned one. I'm still all about the elephant myself, though.<BR/><BR/>Digital Janitor--I know, right?
