tj got me tickets to a bulls game for my birthday - hopefully he won't be too surprised when i give him a divorce for christmas. i'm not sure what i would expect... here's just a few other gems from the past 13 years:
christmas 1999: a gym membership. according to him it wasn't because i had gained weight. according to the membership card i was 5'6 and weighed 120 lbs. either he was an idiot or he filled it out when i was in 4th grade.
birthday 2002: a scarecrow on a piece of plywood with a basket of mums attached to it. this would've been a great gift if i was 62, didn't live with my parents, and enjoyed shopping at craft fairs.
valentines day 2003: fresh off the scarecrow he redeemed himself with a pair of size S hooters sweat pant capris. i'm not kidding.
christmas 2007: cooking pans. he obviously didn't find out from my dad what happens to a man that buys his wife kitchen shit for a major holiday.
mother's day 2011:
(that last one was left blank because that's what i got... nothing. but, he made up for it this mother's day by going golfing all damn day.)
well, i gotta go now and eat the breakfast he made me... egg and sausage omelettes.
