Day two of this and I am already suffering from writer’s block… Is it because there is now an audience of sorts? I’ve noticed a follower, thank you follower. I’m officially popular with one person. Woo and indeed hoo.
There was a re-gifting party last night… Before going, I asked myself if I really received something so atrocious that it required re-gifting. All in all I have some pretty cool friends and family members and really had nothing to contribute. I did indeed go empty-handed, not expecting to participate in the gift exchange. Well, I was shocked to receive a present anyway. Apparently some people receive more than one WTF present per year. Some examples:
· Donald Trump board game
· Hulk Hogan Biography
· Northern Reflections sweater in maternity granny style
· Whoopee cushion
· Fake red crocodile “purse” (this is the gift I was lucky enough to receive)
I truly believe we should be thankful for things that we are given but when the person giving the gift has absolutely no idea the type of person you are, what’s the point? I am not a believer in giving gifts just for the hell of it. I really have to like a person in order to exchange presents. A bottle of wine or something stronger is acceptable when going to somebody’s home but anything else is a little silly, no? “Oh here is a present I picked up at ____ because I don’t want to be rude. I really hope it is something that fits your personality as I got it on sale and can’t return it and because it was so cheap I don’t want to give you a receipt to return it if you do not like it.” Come on people, if you must buy a gift, just stick with booze or chocolate. Who doesn’t like those things? And if they don’t, they are very easy to re-gift or give to the host of the next event. And we have come full circle…
I also like dogs…this is my girl.
