It's Just Sad

Blatantly stealing from Jodifur's post today because I can't crawl out from under my own conundrums here is what is "Crazy Sad".

- I asked for a Polder meat thermometer for Christmas. I would rather it not be a gift but since I can't cook a chicken to save my life, I might actually need this thing.

- Asking for a meat thermometer makes me feel like I'm 87 and should be named Pearl. I think patent leather box-shaped handbags are all the rage.  My best friend's name is Madge and she smokes Salems.  My 14 cats hate her and our long games of Canasta.

- I can't for the life of me think of what to buy a one year-old at Christmas.  Still I would feel just awful if years from now she didn't see any photos of her unwrapping a present, just photos of her eating the wrapping paper.  Hm.. I think I see a roll of green colored paper under the tree for her.  Sweet! That stuff is wicked cheap!

At least I solved one problem for the day.

  1. I asked for a meat thermometer for Christmas a couple years ago, and amazingly my family actually came through for me (they never get what I ask for because it's always weird stuff. Like the dry shampoo last year.)

    I'd get The Comedian a new outfit and a book. She won't care what she opens and TD won't want to play with her sister's stuff if it's lame ;)

  2. I can relate. I also had no idea what to buy for your one year old for Christmas. I gave it my best shot!

    Love the rest of your post, Pearl. I'm always asking for old lady domestic stuff these days and it depresses me.
