Success in the gift department. Totally failure in the booze department

lyndausvi

So I left work early to go shopping.  DH wanted a ski rack.   The store was having a  20% sale ends today.   Didn't know that when I went in.  So I got the rack.  Then I just had them install it now because, well, that is not really DH's thing. 

I went by his work so he could have the car (we only have one car).    The boy kept looking all around INSIDE the car looking to see if I got him a gift (he knew I was going to Aspen, just didn't know where)   It was pretty funny.  He totally didn't see the rack on the roof.  Ha.  It took about 10 minutes before it clicked.

Anyway he took me home and went back to work.  I just checked the fridge, 1 beer. I checked the wine fridge, 1 glass of wine left.

Sigh.  Now I'm here with no booze or a car to get any.  

Please have a drink for me.

I didn't think FI would be right by the basement door when I got home, so I had to boogie past him superquick so he wouldn't see the external drive I bought for his Xbox. He probably would've just thought I got another one for my computer if he saw it, I just don't want him to turn it over in his brain for too long.

Ima have some ciroc berry and lemonade for ya.

Ughhh man that sucks. I'll have some peach cremant for you.

I'm slow getting caught up on all the posts today but from what I gather, this is a good thing. Three drinks and we'd have to check you into rehab, apparently.

Ya you're better off with alcohol.... you wouldn't want to get drunk and destroy your marriage and your home and your life because you're clearly an alcoholic.

such party poopers.

Just noticed there was enough wine for a fairly large glass.  

On another note I just whacked my right knee HARD on the coffee table.  It hurts so bad right now.

Oh and I'm watching Christmas Vacation.

I'm linking all threads in one since I can't catch up. I think you should make having a larger stockpile of booze your New Year's Resolution.

I was going to put on Golden Girls but I think I'm going to join you in Christmas Vacation viewing.

CLASSIC.

We have lots of vodka, tequila, Jack, Cognac, fireball and Jager.  Of that list I only like the Jager and then in only like this:

When I was looking for the above picture I found this shot of DH.   It's like something is telling me to drink wine:

Christmas Theme Song this year:

I paused the movie so I could jam to this while I rearrange some furniture.

lyndausvi

Love it.

So jealous you can rearrange furniture.  I would love to, but our place is too narrow and furniture is too big.

Into the merlot here. Your husband is a celebrity!

I've switched to eggnog with Caribbean spiced rum, Rumchata, and Vernors. It's only appropriate for watching White Christmas.

just finished Christmas Vacation.  Now onto White Christmas.

Three things:

• Gridded wrapping paper is so satisfying to use.
  
• Glitter wrapping paper looks SO NICE.
  
• Glitter wrapping paper gets glitter everywhere if it's not sealed. Fuck.

LOL beethery.    

I change it to Frosty.  Miracle on 34th street is on next.  But I like the older version better.

Oh and DAMN YOU AMAZON.  I ended up buying DH another gift.  Ski boot and glove dryer.  Now I really need to stop shopping for him.

It looks like a fairy was eviscerated on my kitchen counter. Red glitter everywhere. I hope a swiffer and tape can take care of this.

lyndausvi

Totally agree. We switched it to hockey.

And damn, way to make me feel old.

I thought it had some kind of clearcoat on it. I've seen glitter paper that didn't shed, this wrapping paper was noooooot it.

I'm a good person, I don't deserve this!!!!!!

Update: I am done shopping for FI.

• 5 TB external drive to be used with his xbox
  
• Hogan's Heroes complete series
  
• Finish nailer
  
• Jigsaw
  

I now have to find mags for my dad. The ones his neighbor suggested are out of stock from the retailer he linked.

lyndausvi

Way to go.

DH got the ski rack.

He is getting  

 a ski boot dryer

ski boot bag

Keysmart key chain

a metal pocket flip-note thing with extra pads

candles (he loves candles)

Jet's Tervis 24-oz cup with a lid

He is done.

H decided today that he wants to exchange little gifts, with a $50 limit, rather than just taking a weekend trip together like we were planning. 

Crap.
