He chose black Friday to shop at JoAnn's. He tells me there were 7000 women in the store, although I do think he might have exaggerated. Probably because he hates to shop.

He called this evening to proudly tell me my list was complete. Remember how specific I was? Well, he couldn't find anything actually on my list, but was happy to report that he found close substitutions. Instead of Ironslide, he bought an ironing board cover. Instead of 505 spray, he bought June Taylor. It goes on, close but no banana. Poor guy. He's happiest alone in his workshop with only the deer to keep him company all day and there he is in a small house full of various and sundry family gathered together. In the midst of the background chaos, his wife is yelling over the phone "take it back, take it all back, I don't want any of it, don't you dare bring it home".

Maybe my SIL can use the stuff. Right now, I don't care! But, reading about the great things everyone else picked up makes me jealous!!
