Looks like I'm going back to the store to do some exchanging. Thanks for the heads up!
Good idea, anonymous. SWNID is still in the doghouse for giving me a curling iron for my first college graduation. Not that I'm still bitter or anything.
I know this is the end of the semester and all, but I was wondering your thoughts on the yet-to-be official appointment of Arne Duncan as Education Secretary. If you're interested.
A CURLING IRON!!! You have got to be joking ... ok, I am now giving SWIND [who is noticeable absent from this conversation] my confused face as I attempt to understand how this debacle could have occurred. Seriously!! a curling iron!! This is why: (1) all men should have to obtain gift-giving clearance prior to the giving of any and all gifts; and (2) Men should never be allowed to shop at Walgreens. I'm with the Mrs. on this one, SWIND needs to spend some time before the Doghouse Parole Board. And it is never too late to do proper penance.
Look, the statute of limitations is definitely applicable on the curling iron, OK? We believe we have managed a couple of moderately decent gifts in the intervening years.
All y'all ladies are like Inspector Javert to our Jean Valjean!
Ummm, Dynitta, he's not being totally up front--I got an electric blanket for our 25th wedding anniversary. Of course, I did also get 25 red roses "for every perfect year," which was a lovely gesture. I do admit to being miserably cold in winter--but still an electric blanket?!?!?!?! Oh, yeah, JB, but I'm not still bitter or anything.
We didn't say that all the gifts were perfect, just some of them. We're trying! Really! Limited budget . . . limited imagination . . . limited by the idiocy of our gender . . . God grant me (and my wife) the serenity to accept the things I cannot change . . .

Oh, he did NOT! Tell me that isn't true! - Angie
Mrs. SWNID: Sounds like you hold a grudge for a very, very long time ... I mean ... wait ... .
Sounds very thoughtful to me...had to make sure his lady looks good :-)
Yeah but can't you just picture a young SWNID poring over the various curling irons trying to find "just the right one," for his lovely lady?
