LEGS also gets upset because Karmella will beg him at the kitchen table- but only him. I wonder if its because he gives her food? Do you think that could maybe be why? Food for thought....and pun intended.....
Our Anniversary is coming up. Every year I get completely strung out over his birthday present, his anniversary present and his Christmas gift, because I never know what to get the man. I struggle because all of his hobbies are highly specialized and expensive......guns, motorcycle's, speed biking, and he is super into gadgets/technology. So the idea of buying him anything is ridiculously intimidating and I am utterly clueless.......which makes it very difficult to surprise him.
(Side story: I love when people wonder why there is a nude drawing of me in his Marine Corps Jacket in our house...obviously this was in my early college days because I would never agree to this now...but if for nothing else it was to surprise my husband....which I should accept will never happen again- guess that is what happens when you marry a Recon Marine.....)
He knows what he is getting me, but he won't tell me. I have been working on him for days to give it up......teasing him, nagging him, interrogating him.....but he's like Fort Knox!!! I get frustrated because I already openly discussed a few idea's I had for him with him so I wouldn't mess it up and get him the wrong thing.......ITS JUST NOT FAIR.....the other night when we were going through this little song and dance- he said:
LEGS:" Tiffany, for once in your life I am going to surprise you. Your family sucks at surprises. When I was going to ask you to marry me I told your family and they told you, I was going to sing to you at our wedding (which would have been VERY entertaining EVIL LAUGH) but your family told you, Now I am just trying to surprise you with a gift and you won't even let me do that." MUHAHAHAHAHAHA........
He is right.......we suck at surprises......I am such a control freak I can't stand not knowing what is going to happened next..........plus we all have big mouths......WHOOPSY......I don't think he understands I need to rehearse the perfect reaction......in my mind I am like what if its a terrible gift and I have to fake being happy and excited??? Or what if my gift isn't as good as his gift? Or what if his gift sucks compared to mine??? Then I would feel sorry for him.....all of these emotions are making me really anxious......
I hate Christmas decorations down here in Alabama, because there is no snow. The lawns are brown and covered with leaves and pine straw, and then people put up this large blow up things in the yard. Everything about it says: CHEAP....Its like they left the decorations in their yards until spring....
I also can't stand when people spell words wrong on facebook, like basic elementary words......I don't really mind when its something that you don't say everyday or when its something where I am even like geez I don't know how to spell that...(like the other day I spelled Tetanus wrong- but how many times a year do you spell tetanus???)..but figure out how to spell what your saying- if you aren't sure- look it up!!!
I spent all afternoon at Mimi Marmelade's for 'Girlz Lunch.' Going over to Mimi's house is like spending the afternoon in a magical wonderland, we collaborated about Christmas presents most of the day, it finally got me into the Christmas spirit.
It is funny to me that the four of us girls got together and we were actually naughtier than most guys I know.......I was thinking today it must come with age because what was discussed today at Girlz Lunch would have never been discussed about 4 years ago......
Time to go, Margarita Friday- I have my priorities straight.....
Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife.......**
