close call tonight.

so a bunch of gifts were getting delivered today. Wasn't sure if DH's would show up or not. So I run to the grocery store to get a gift for friend's birthday tomorrow. Turns out they have like, nothing. So I wait for 10 minutes in line to get her card, and only the card. Think about just leaving completely, but don't. Girl rings up apples at $12/lb and has to find a manager to fix it. Takes so much time.

Anyway, I'm getting home and thinking I'll grab the mail just in case the gift is there and then go in. My lights hit the mailbox. There's a person there! DH is getting the mail! WTF! He never gets the mail! And he's holding a package that I just know is his gift. Damn that grocery girl and her bad fingers! Two minutes earlier and I'd have grabbed the mail and he'd never have known. I ask what he has and he's like not sure, think it's your makeup, sender is "fanatics" (thank baby Jesus it didn't say mlb or sports fanatics!!!). I'm like, oh I don't know, let me see. He doesn't hand it over. Great, if he thinks it's my makeup gift, now he's going to hide it from me so he can wrap it even though I ordered it.

Get inside and I said I thought the gift he had was a mermaid tail blanket for one of the girls he's like yeah this other stuff came today too and adds his gift to the pile. Phew, now it's out in the open. He starts talking about something, IDK and walking away from the gifts. I walk over and nonchalantly grab the bag while looking at the other packages. He started reading the mail and I walk into a bedroom and hide the gift.

Now to make sure he doesn't notice that package missing from the pile.

This is quality posting similar to your dodgeball/kickball updates. I'll gve it 8.5/10. Fine job CG.

Were you at least on the winning end of it?

We obliterated them. This school has never had a good program. However, they only lost to the conference powerhouse by 10 last game. That team lost all its good players/seniors so they are basically relying on just one person this year.

Sister told me the school can't do any toy/food/clothing because they are operated by one of the churches. They also have 2 Christmas trees set up in the commons, but the have to call them 'winter' trees. They can't say 'holiday' trees anymore because apparently there's a couple students that don't celebrate any holidays.

Sweatshirt-shaped package?

I need to contact Fanatics and propose a packaging solution that could save them a bundle of money. I'm calling it "a box".

Also, I'm thinking of starting a band and calling it Sweatshirt-Shaped Package.

BTW, ribeyes were fantastic. However, an entire bottle of Rye on Rye should have been consumed over the course of two sittings.

I will undoubtedly remember my error and probably not learn from it.

Had to google. Beer in 750ml bottles with a cork? Another sign of the pending apocalypse.
