Damn I just inadvertently gave away what I was giving for Christmas

[proud2BlibKansan]

to my son's girlfriend. I went into his room and asked him what movie theater they usually go to because I was thinking of getting her a gift certificate to the movies. He started laughing. I am thinking wtf I think it's a nice gift when I hear her voice behind me saying "Yes, I would love that."

She had come in the house and I didn't even know she was here.

I guess I should buy her another gift as well now. Damn.

1. D'oh!

Hate it when that happens.

2. Looks like another iPod is in order.

4. They aren't married yet

They aren't even engaged. So she still gets inexpensive gifts.

Speaking of ipods, I am getting nervous. They still haven't come.

6. Go back to Apple's store.

You can get the shipping status. And if they've already shipped, you'll get a link to FedEx to track them.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Oh great

Here is what I got:
" We could not locate an order with the information you have entered below, please try again.:

[evlbstrd]

9. Did you get a confirmation e-mail when you ordered?

There's a reference no. in there.

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Okay I tried a different number

and FedEx says it has been delivered at 1:00 today. I used my mom's address. Let's hope they really have arrived.

I wonder why my mom didn't call me to let me know. That is odd.

[evlbstrd]

11. They did.

As soon as I signed for the package, the status was updated at the tracking site.
Maybe your mom sold them.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. LOL she tried to open one of them

but couldn't get the tape off the package.

13. I saw and replied.

It is wierd that one was opened. This model seems to new to have refurbished models shipping.
Hey, I'm starving. What should I eat?

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. That's what hubby said

"I thought you ordered brand new ipods!"

grrr - he could have ordered them himself.

Dinner - I just ate a lovely salad from the Hen House salad bar. I have about half of it left. Come on over. Hubby is eating meatloaf. He may have leftovers too. :hi:

[evlbstrd]

15. I was thinking of going out.

I've been in the house all day, waiting for the phone to ring. Nada.
I'm ready to get out of here for a while.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. I just got in

It's nice out. Not too cold.

Hey I just started a thread to you. Find it. :)

[evlbstrd]

17. Found it.

Bad odor there.
I think I'll wander down to O'Dowd's. Nobody told me I have high cholesterol yet. And I could use a pint.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Walk carefully

[evlbstrd]

19. Always.

3. I say don't sweat it and she'll still be thrilled and will use it.

It's not so much the element of surprise that matters as much as your thoughtfulness in getting her something, ANYthing, to begin with.

My two cents.

:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Yes she always appreciates what I get her.

She is actually a really nice kid.

8. Well there ya go.
