holiday scrambling
I've been running around doing last minute shopping. I haven't written cards yet. My sister came in today, so I had to wrap her sweater really quick. Our gift exchange at work went really well. I got a Mr. Coffee Cocomotion hot cocoa maker. Crazy Woman says I'm always heating a cup of something in the microwave. Crazy Woman got the AC/DC hoodie that I got her, and her son promptly stole, and a Notre Dame hoodie from the office manager. Office manager got my mexican food gift card, and and hat, glove, and scarf set from Crazy Woman.
My friend Karry and I have a long standing debate whether our old orthodontist died or not. He's alive all right. He came to our store for instruction how to use his cell phone. He had a little pad and paper and Crazy Woman walked him through steps of operation. It was undoubtedly him, perfectly filed teeth and all. Every time I see him it looked like he was wearing hospital scrubs. I just figured that's what they were, and many retirees volunteer at the hospital. So I checked out his pants when he was in there store, they weren't scrubs at all. They are aqua-colored denim. They must be his absolute favorite, he's wearing them every time I see him.
I finally got a chance to wrap some gifts, at least take them out of the bags. I had hardly anything for my husband. He said he was having a hard time this year also. He never had a hard time picking out sweaters or knitted tops for me. He couldn't find anything this year. It seems that ugly is in style this year. All I have to do is buy gift bags and I'm done.

I meant to ask you this weekend how your boss liked the toilet paper gifts. I forgot, musta been all that beer and such.
Karry, I know what you mean about our orthodontist. He was a cocky dude back then, not very kid-friendly. I wore my headgear every day and every night, and he yelled at me that I wasn't. Every time I see him he's wearing those same pants and driving the same car (not a fancy one either!). He was extremely sweet to my co-worker, she was helping him! He just seemed like a feeble old man now.
Carrie! My office manager's husband LOVED his shittens. He got the joke upon inspection.
