Heh. Most of my coolitude is due to my having a Palm. And not having kids of my own, I guess. But man, when the Palm stops being impressive, I don't know what I'll do.
Thing is? Technology prevails. It's worked for me for 16 years with the neicelet and 9 with the nephlet. There is always a new toy.
But when he gets older I'll become A Bad Influence, and that's gonna be awesome.
Best. Part. Ever. It's awesome, really.

Kat, you are totally in charge of my accessory-buying missions from now on. Mad shopping skillz. Also you can brave the lines which is admirable.

Speaking of shoes: I'm still dying for these: [link] But Fluevog needs to make some hunter green shoes and stat.

I only gifted my former officemate, with things like a magic 8 ball, flyswatter and whatnot. He was almost a work spouse, in the sense we'd vent to each other about work AND life.

My mom just gives stuff to her favorite people and figures screw the rest. Though this year, she'd really like to send the reading coordinator and one second grade teacher some nasty poison.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My work does not gift and my last one did secret giftees only. the job before that we did gift/card within our small 5 person office.

You need those, Kat.

Well, one pair of mine are olive... I really like olive, actually. I'm just bent because I didn't get the olive shoes in black as well before they sold out. Stupid me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ugh, I forgot to give a gift to our messenger on our floor. I am the worst at christmas-- I leave whatever gifts I am going to buy until the very last minute (this year, it's Friday) and forget to get gifts for friends. I look forward to the day I'm a real grownup like msbelle.

Do people at your job gift and card each other? Or is it a school thing?
I've seen it happen in a lot of places. And rather randomly. There's usually a person or three who give out personalized wee gifts and cards. Makes me feel guilty because I am really not that person no matter how much I would like to pretend.

I keep clicking to links of shoes that are adorable but that I can't see myself buying. I can see myself borrowing them from a friend (like, say, from the friend of mine who loves fun shoes and then lets me take them out for an evening) and adoring them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's me, too.
