’tis the season to be shopping | November 30, 2007

I have had nothing but holiday shopping on my mind lately. I was struggling with what to ask David to get me, because this year he didn’t want to guess and because he told me exactly what he wanted, a Nintendo DS with Brain Age2. It was only fair. It couldn’t be anything for the house (which I totally would have taken, because I want this place to look finished and fantastic), it had to be just for me, and something that I wanted. Usually it’s hard for me to get or ask for things I want if I don’t need them. So, I looked and looked trying to find something that I actually liked, and finally settled on the actor John Barrowman, as boyfriend #2.

But, David said 1) he’s gay, and 2) no. So I cried. Then I told him to get me a beautiful diamond ring instead!

(pause for dramatic effect)

No don’t freak out, I just wanted to get you excited, it’s a right hand fashion diamond ring, very pretty. Then I also found a great gift for my mom that I am very excited about but I can’t tell you what it is because she comes and visits my blog sometimes, Hi Mom! (i’ll post pictures after the gifts have been exchanged) I am nearly done with all of the gift shopping, even Mojito got a new scratching post which he loves. Thank god, because he was “loving” our new textured fabric chair with the blue throw pillow.

Other shopping news, I don’t have a new dress to wear to my company’s holiday party tomorrow. I have been busy and tired and slightly sickly with nothing substantial enough to call a “cold” but crappy enough to make me feel like poop. And you know how much I hate poop. So I haven’t felt up to trying to figure out what to wear, or up to getting too excited about the party. I guess I’ll go look through my closets and see if I can find something. If not, tomorrow morning I’ll drag David to the mall, he needs a new blazer anyways. Maybe we can finish our final gift purchases at the same time.

Hope you guys get all your shopping done quickly and with enough time to relax listening to some choice holiday music!

Hahaha. Oh, I loved this post. I think I cracked up about four or five times. Tell David you should totally be allowed to have a gay boyfriend. All the cool kids are doing it.

Also. I hope you find a super cute dress for the party that you can wear repeatedly!

and a diamond ring is much better than a second boyfriend in my opinion ;)

Gay boyfriends are great fun. But diamond rings? Much better. ;) Have fun shopping! I hope you got a great dress.

I’m SO excited to start my Christmas shopping. I’m totally starting this week and I can’t wait! I would like, however, to shop exclusively at a shop that sells both gay second boyfriends AND diamond rings (of course, I’d only wind up getting stuff for myself…)

you know what would be even better. Have him get John Barrowman, and then take his wallet + the gay guy and go out shopping for that diamond ring.
