When Meg's and I got married we were very generously showered with duplicate gifts. Many would consider duplicate gifts a pain in the side, BUT NOT US! We made our duplicates work FOR US. We decided to convert our surplus into gift cards.....oh the joy that are gift cards!
Target has been the recipient of the bulk of our gift card joy and has been for almost a year and a half. This week we realized the finite measure of our "free" shopping. As we invested in the odds and ends (FYI-and for my conscience-Megs and I are quite sensible. We respected each dollar that was gifted to us and only bought the essentials.) needed for everyday living we realized that we were quickly running our endless cash cow dry. SO what practical decision did we make?... MATERNITY CLOTHES!
My wife is going to be one HOT PREGO MAMMA! all thanks to Target and duplicate gifts. Now just to find out how Karleen's can work for us....doilies....crap!
P.S. There really is opposition in ALL things. As explained yesterday, the wife loves herself some JnK+8, but what she doesn't like is "Little People, Big World." The problem with this is that it has replaced the JnK+8 time slots the past couple of days.... it has NOT been pretty. I don't think her dislike extends itself beyond the actual show, but I have tried to keep her away from little people in general. It just keeps things less messy.

CLARIFICATION: Megan does not dislike or have any harsh feelings towards little people... just the show "Little People Big World."

Way to be PC Megs.
And WHY are you buying maternity clothes when I have an entire closet full still waiting for you?
Do I have bad taste?
