Have to reply to this one. I told my husband I wanted stuff for the house. I received a set of plain towels. 2 towels 2 wash cloths and 2 hand towels. ALL wrapped in seperate boxes.
He is my EX husband. Now you know the rest of the story! LOL |

Also to those of you that have gotten various appliances,you should have followed my sister-in-laws' example. She told her husband. "If it comes with a cord, it is an appliance not a present." |
The absolute worst was an ugly piece of driftwood that was suppose to be a work of art from a local artist. It had a special name plaque on it which made it even worse. The annoying thing was that it was from a husband/wife studio and their other speciality was wonderful unique wooden clocks. Why couldn't he have picked the clock? It was even cheaper!

I can think of two times my husband really blew it. When we were first together, well, he is/was an athlete, and I am not. He always had really cool workout clothes, and I thought (silly me) that maybe if I had some cool clothes maybe I'd be more inclined to be active. So I asked him for a sweat suit.
He got me a pair of basic, gray, baggy sweats. Couldn't have been more unromantic or uninspiring. Some years later, I told him I wanted a bracelet, but I really wanted a bangle, because I DID NOT want a chain bracelet. Yep, I got a chain -- because bangles were too expensive. I cried that time, but I wore that darn chain until it broke (finally). On the bright side, he remembered a ring I had liked in a jewelry shop and got one for me (custom made) some 10 years later on a big birthday. He gets top marks for that. And he bought me a beautiful inlaid necklace (looks like a quilt almost) while he was on a golf trip in Hawaii. I didn't feel he owed me anything, but I guess he did. All in all, he's a keeper! |

I got a shiny new 42", zero-turn riding lawn mower one year for my birthday! I figure since the lawn mower is mine, I can tell others when and how I want them to use it! :oD
