By the gaming gods! Is it true? Have five days already passed since I last posted? Apparently, yes. Whew! Time flies so fast when you’re having fun. Unfortunately, my five-day hiatus had not been even remotely fun. Yes, you guessed it.

This past Christmas, I flat-out refused to buy my father his 733rd golf shirt and I didn’t care how many times my mother insisted he needed a blue one. And because last year I bought my mom liquid gold, otherwise known as Obsession (for all of you who were thinking, What? She bought her mom unleaded?), and she uses an average of five drops a month, there was no need to replenish her stockpile this year. Also, I was under the mandate that was repeated to me ad nauseam through the year, speciAnniversary Gifts
Last month, I had so much fun during the holiday, though I never got all I wanted for Christmas but it is better than nothing. Last month, besides the holiday my husband and I celebrated our 4th year wedding anniversary. At that day, we went out to buy our gifts for each other. I bought some new sweater for him though and he also bought some new shirt and sweater for me. As the days went on after we bought what we need, we went home for me to cook our anniversary dinner.
