Stop buying yourself gifts before Christmas

At this point in the game (meaning we are quickly approaching Thanksgiving) every time I hear you say that there is something you want. I make a mental note for your Christmas gift. Obviously, this is assuming that I buy you a gift for Christmas. No, I haven't won the lottery and no, I haven't suddenly become over charitable to give EVERYONE I know a gift. Although a lot of you have birthdays this time of year, so it doesn't hurt to still mention items you want. Just don't set high expectations for yourself.

My point is, Dave ruined my master plan. I have THE BEST gift idea. Something he has wanted and talked about since we met. Yesterday, he went to Target and bought it for himself. Seriously? After YEARS and I literally mean years of talking about buying this item. He up and runs off to Target yesterday afternoon to buy it before he left town for work. I guess it's a good thing he is gone for a few days so that I can spend every waking minute trying to come up with an idea that is close to being as awesome as that would have been.


Oh, don't worry - I totally made him feel guilty about it last night as I was creating a mental image for him of how shocked and surprised and elated he would have been if I had purchased it.
