Hmmm...I remember one of the most excited times of gift-giving was
ReplyDeletewhen I gave you a pogo stick...which I had to procure a second mortgage on my red 1968 red ford mustang...
sigh...
obviously you would have preferred ....uh, a second mortgage on a mercedes benz..?
i beg to differ... jazz is awesome (well, if you're talking about coltrane, fitgerald, holliday, glenn miller, etc.; not so much if you're talking about kenny g). but that's just one girl's 2 cents. :)
ReplyDeleteA diet dr. pepper poured into a glass full of crushed ice is heavenly.

ReplyDeleteI, for one, love hockey. I know I'm of the 2% of Americans who do. So, if you want to dump your tickets...
ReplyDeletehint, hint
I'm gonna have to disagree on the pool. We spend almost every night in the summer out there and it's a cheap entertainment for my kids. It's very very good, to us at least.
