Oh boy the blissful moments of marriage I DON'T miss!!!! My ex never put much thought into things. He would wait until the last minute and then go shopping and expect a full list of things. Me on other hand think why should I give him a list? He knows what I like and a "list" takes out of the originality of gifts. He always did better on his own anyways. I missed not having gifts from a husband, but you know what it was the first Christmas I got to see my family in 6 years that was the best gift for me!

First of all, I LOVE your sig!!! I'll drink to that!!!

He asked me what I wanted, and I told him the Duran Duran DVD and maybe some slippers from the girls. His explanation was that he didn't want to get me Bath and Body Works stuff since some people would be getting me that, and he didn't want to get me wine since other people were getting me that. Apparently I DO have to give him a full list of potential gift to get me, since it seems next to impossible for him to think of a personal gift, rather than one that we need for the house. Sorry, I'm venting. I'm better now.

Also included...where to find such items, and size/color if necessary. Then he can choose what to buy from that list. It's still I surprise, because I don't know which items he'll pick. Works for us.

Wow, a list. lol.

Oh brother. That was one of my BIGGEST complaints about my ex, totally no imagination or incentive to do things. I always felt that Christmas was a hassle for him, it took all the joy out of it for me!
