not your mom's socks.

Clearly, we are dogs.

clearly. there seem to be a lot more of us than I thought...

I have 20/10 vision - is that dog too?

Can I ask for some gift ideas?

What are some good gifts for a couple with a new baby? Not baby gifts but something they'd appreciate. Both of my brothers' wives are expecting new babies in the next month and, boy, it would make my gift-buying job easier/more cost efficient if a) I could get them each something as a couple rather than one for each brother, one for SiL and b) if I could get both couples basically the same thing.

I thought about movie tix along with an offer to babysit but am blanking on other good ideas.

this is a great idea.

a girlfriend just gifted another new-baby couple with two merry-maids cleaning gift certificates. That was WAY appreciated.

can you offer to make up a bunch of meals-to-freeze or a TJ's gift basket with emergency rations? We've been living on the frozen chow mein lately.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Tonight is my work christmas party.

I am wearing a stupid suit and heels.

BLEH.

Kristen is my date, and there's a Yankee gift exchange.

I purchased a seamonkey aquarium and a set of famous pirate playing cards with a "gold doubloon" that comes with a lead warning.

Waiting for Kristen to tell me which gift she wants to give.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

lisah, how about food delivery gift certificates?

I continue to be grateful that my work party is in the afternoon on Monday.

I want the seamonkey aquarium!! i was going to get one for my desk at work, but i keep forgetting. you pretty much have to buy them online these days. some cowrkers didn't even know what they were. tragic.

this is a good idea. uh...if maybe a little expensive for just me to do.

Friends gave me a Merry Maids cleaning gift cert for my birthday...which I've yet to use because I keep thinking I should do it before having a big party and also that my house is too much of a mess right now for someone else to clean.

This is a good idea too. I just need to figure out places that will do this in Raleigh and out in Frederick.
