crap crap crap...

Excuse the language, but I am seriously freaking out here !! Chris's b-day is on Friday and I have no clue what to give him. Okay, so he was given we some hints, but come on people, how fun is it to buy a saltwater fishing reel? I am sure I will end up giving in and getting him one ( however, he is NOT getting the 280.00 one that he has his eye on !! ) Why do men like such "manly" stuff? Girls/women are SOOOO much easier to shop for. Buy them a purse, spa gift certificate, or some jewelry and they are happy as a lark. If only things were that simple with men.

There is a big group of us going out on Friday night. I am thinking Big Texas or something like that. Wherever we go we are sure to have a night of fun. Even though we are getting up there in age ( ack, quickly approaching 3o !! ) , I am happy to say that I can drink most 22 and 23 year olds under the table. ( However, this is not open for betting or discussion come Friday night. I am merely making a point here !! ) I am hoping that I can get my hands on a regular point and shoot camera for that night. I REFUSE to bring my good one.

Okay, back to the b-day thing.
Here is Chris's wish list
1. Saltwater fishing reel ( BORING !!! )
2. Waders ( those horrendous pants/suspender thingies that men wear while duck hunting or fly fishing !! )
3. A new tackle box ( Again boring, but no matter what I get I will get the WRONG one !!)

Here is what he truly "needs"

1. A lawn service to come pull all the weeds in the flower garden, b/c we are never home, nor do we want to do it ourselves
2. A 300$ gift certificate to HOme Depot so he can finish the "shed" ( aka, the open doghouse with a roof right now ) that he started back in January !!
3. A cleaning crew to come in and clean the house and do all the laundry ( whoops, that is for me, but he will benefit from it too right?? )

Anyway, any ideas are appreciated. I have run out of them all.
