She wants that reaction. Also funny, I ran into her at Target doing her shopping with who else, your sister and her 2.<BR/>SILAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-32010723894132060682008-10-18T13:02:00.000-05:002008-10-18T13:02:00.000-05:00We don't generally do anything for our anniversary...We don't generally do anything for our anniversary, either. There's a lot going on at that time of year, and frankly, never enough money to go around. <BR/><BR/>I love Japanese food!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying this to defend your mom, who is obviously a dipshit, but rather to maybe make you feel better - is there any chance that she's just worried that she doesn't want to overlap with something he either already has or something you might be planning on getting him? Or maybe she wants to coordinate? Everyone in our entire family always asks that exact same question, and frankly, I'd rather they asked, especially my mother, who has been known to get some truly awful gifts when left to her own devices. I mean, really, really bad, like itchy, ugly clothes and stuff that they would never use because it's crap.Astartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.com
