I try not to bitch about her weird gift giving, because I know she means well, but it's like she doesn't understand that other people might not like all the things she is currently obsessed with!

But I am a bit taken aback by this. Ah well. That's what eBay is for, right?

I can't get the clicky links to work on my phone, but now I am very curious about what they are.

some of his stuff is on ebay -- keep it in the box.

folk art, sj. not horrid, but not to everyone's taste

I'm glad that TCG and Mom know my taste because the rest of my family doesn't. My aunt got me a sweater in a particular color, because I liked that color at 13. I think she got 13 and 31 confused.

Well, considering I was convinced I wasn't getting squat from my mother this year, I ended up with a very nice pair of earrings. Not necessarily a pair I would've chosen for myself, but nice enough and versatile enough that I'll definitely wear them.

She seemed to like her gifts well enough. At least she didn't make outright faces and answer noncommittally when asked what she thought.

This is an improvement over previous years.

We made it through more than 24 hours without mention of my father although she managed to mention every other relative on his side of the family. I'm afraid she's working her way up to it.

I just need to survive until very early Saturday morning.

only odd gift were these naked clay dolls from Thailand. teeny , miniature things. naked.

So who else has to work tomorrow?

I'm closing tonight and tomorrow.

Worked today, working tomorrow. At least today, with the group home empty, the hard part was not actually snoring in case anyone came in.
