In diapers, that is. We are here, holidaying at Patrick’s family’s place, with babies and dogs and loved ones all ’round. The tree is full of pressies, the belly is full of ice cream/chocolate/fried chicken (ahhhh, sweet December), and I am maxin’ and relaxin’. I hope you are, too!
See you on the flip side.
What up G :)Blackened your eye did ya? I have two funny black-eye stories: 1) I\’m about 13, playing darts with my brother, wearing eyeglasses (me, not my bro), and he says something that just cracks me up! As I laugh I double over, and WHAM head-meets-back-of-chair, my eyeglasses are pushed into my face and I blacken my right eye. Awesome. 2) I\’m playing frisbee on the beach last year, partners with my friend\’s son. He goes to catch a frisbee, misses, but it hits his hand and ricochets into my face, right below my eye – boom, bruise. Funny for everyone who saw it, but for people I waited on at work? This is all I got, "Where is he?!" Har har. Funny. Assumed domestic abuse is, apparently, hysterical. Anyways – on your hypothetical questions. We had a friend watch and feed our parrots last year for a week and we bought him a t-shirt and hat, total price about $25. But he\’s an adult. If it was a kid? I\’d probably toss him $25 – 35 bucks upon return…therefore he learns \’good work has a reward\’ and you feel good. About the woman who keeps adorning you with gifts? First, how sweet of her! Second, no, you shouldn\’t feel obliged to return the favor monetarily, but maybe bake her some cookies or bring in some treat that you know A) she\’ll enjoy and B) you\’ll feel good giving. Otherwise you\’ll end up in that weird cycle of give/take/give.Happy Holidays!! Enjoy the time with family and that cute son of yours!!!http://thoughtsat34.blogspot.com
