So my mother's day was eh. I spent most o fthe day at home with munchkin. I went to my mom's for lunch and watched a movie. Then, Slava got hoem from work and gave me a beautiful card, a bottle of Cuevero Margarita, and a memory chip for my phone so I could do MP3 music...only to learn that my phone is not equipped for this. :( Again, he falls ( Read more... )

I hate to tell you this, but there are traditionally TWO sides of gift giving ( ... )

"The givee accepts the gift with grace and thanks." I do, and I have. I'm not an ungrateful bitch, really. Does it make me an awful and bad person that I'm admitting that just this once I truly did not like the gifts and I felt disapointed and let down ( ... )

Update & Thanks ldy_chameleon May 13 2008, 22:22:24 UTC

my hubs and I talked about it. We have decided that Kukla's idea of a list would be the best way for us to prevent similar situation againand would help bluntly show hubs what gifts I do want for the occasion. I think he should do one too, but lists aren't really his thing. So, in short he returned said memory chip thingy for the phone and took me to local garden center to buy 2 beautiful hanging hummingbird friendly flowering plants for my deck and plant food dispenser attachment for my hose when I water my big gerden up front. Thanks for the ideas, suggestions, and constructive criticism.
