wtf*
do you know what you should be proud of? well. i'll tell you. buying gifts well in advance. we did that this year for one birthday and christmas. we got a friend his birthday gift in august. and it is an awesome gift for him. i even showed it to his wife to get her approval.
we got my mom a gift, some nice yard art, and we got my dad a lovely golfing shirt. months, and i mean months in advance of christmas.
do you know what you should be ashamed of? well. i'll tell you that too. you should be ashamed of losing those gifts somehow while moving into the new house. we have absolutely no idea where they are. i have searched every closet, every nook, every cranny, every inch of this house. i have looked in every unpacked box three times over. no gift. and his birthday is tomorrow. this sucks.
*wtf said backwards makes just as much sense, and is actually funny. ftw!
Good luck! I hate it when that happens....what's that saying? "No good deed goes unpunished." I think that's you!
Oh good, you're not dead. Then you'd REALLY have trouble finding the gifts!
Ouch! That really stinks!! I am so far behind in this year's purchasing, but at least I haven't had much opportunity to do what I usually do. Hide stuff from myself...only to find it after the holiday/event, when it's too late to use it. I have a HUGE bag of ungifted items that I never seem to move quickly enough, but do, occasionally, provide a great last minute gift.
Good luck finding your stuff. That's frustrating as Hell!
