...Advertising wondrous things.
God rest ye merry merchants,
May ye make the Yuletide pay.
Angels we have heard on high,
Tell us to go out and buy!
Nana comes home from the hospital today. I know that her cancer is in an advanced stage, but I don't know...no delicate way to put it...how long she has left. Please no sappy comments.
Dim and I are going out! To a movie! I don't know which one yet; there are several I'd like to see. Bean is going to Tia Luli's house to be babysat. Bean loves Tia Luli. (Luisa)
Christmas shopping is done, with the exception of Dimitri's surprise present. He knows what I'm getting for him, but I like to give him a little gift that he's not expecting. It's tough, though, since he is the HARDEST person to buy for. He has very finicky tastes, and if you give him the wrong thing, he'll complain about it. He complains about bad gifts (bad in his mind, anyway) that other people get, too. I know. Tacky.
Any suggestions?
I'm expecting a visit from Dim's cousin Peter and his marvelous girlfriend Aisling this weekend. We're all going to go see the Bodies exhibit at the Tropicana (again.) They're very excited to come to Vegas to see dozens of expertly dissected and preserved cadavers. They're a bit strange, but I love them just the same.

***STOP READING HERE DIMITRI***
as far as a present suggestion goes, here is what I got for my bro's family. Sue says she saw it at Costco for eighty dollars. Anyway, a bit pricey for a surprise present and depends on his taste, but hey, might be good.

Posted by: Jen Rodis at December 17, 2006 1:24 PMI think as a whole the more you know someone the harder the gift giving gets. I am trying something new with Nicole. We are getting a set amount to spend on Xmas. YOU have to spend at least that amount and not much more. This helps avoid somone spending far more than the other person. She wants a Nintendo Wii but they are hard to find right. Any ideas on that one?
