Havent thought seriously about any gifts for H, but came across 2 today that would suit him just fine. The perfect gifts for him...

a shirt at Target that simply read...

"It's All About Me"

and a keychain at the dollar store (thats about all he's worth spending on...Oh yeah, I didnt even spend the dollar <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> ) that read

"How Nasty Can I Be and Still Get Into Heaven"

Did you get your EX anything this year????

I did buy my stbx a couple gifts over the last few months. Things turned pretty nasty between us this past week, but I'll still give him the gifts and the gifts for my step children. I'll probably drop them at his mother's house though.
I did think about not giving the stbx the gifts, but I'm the sort of person who can go beyond the anger.

sorry...This was supposed to be a humerous vent. Should have said, what would you like to get your ex this year.

I would never buy or give anything nasty to anyone, although I am finally having a smidgen of pity towards OW (make that tiny, tiny smidgen) and toyed with the idea of making a copy of my journal to give her for Christmas. The notes that lawyer is going to bring up at divorce trial. She will have to be there anyway, but hell maybe it would save her months and months of agony of being involved with my H or possibly even save her a tragedy if H has her D in the car while he is under influence.

Well, sunrise, if that's the case then I'd probably get hauled off to jail for what I'd like to give my stbx!!

What my x needs for Christmas:

- support for the large gut he has growns since moving out

- braces/suspenders to hold his pants up better

- more supplies for his home lobotomy kit

We joked about getting mine some very nice surgical scissors. 36 years is a long time to be attached by the umbilical cord.

Hmmmm. I would like to get a tire pump and a syringe so Deucey's new OW, Ms. Family Values, can save money and do an at home lip inflation. Show deucey how resourcesful she is. After all, his former OW, Ms. Monkeyho had to go and get the injections and pay for them.

I would like to get Deucey a thousand mirrors for Christmas. And place one at every turn. That way he would have to be forced to look at himself in the mirror. I would also like to give them a gift as a couple. A crystal ball so they could peer into it and see how they caused hurt and pain in the lives of their kids by acting stupid and selfish.

And above all, for Deucey a lifetime supply of condoms in assorted colors and a new tag for his luxury vehicle. To match his other vanity tag: Goldmember. Isn't that perfect for his shagmobile? And a CD: The Devil Went Down to GA by Charlie Daniels. Oh and folks, Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo is on tv tonight.

And of course, a DVD. Goldmember. The Ladies' Man. Nite at the Roxbury. And of course, Unfaithful. These are all top picks for Deucey.

And for me? A little black book for all of my dates I shall have in 03. Must have alphabetical tabs in it. Have to have a logical way to keep up with all the guys.

I bought a few small things from my boys, for my ex. Usually do something small for Christmas, B-day and Father's day from them.
I almost have to, because he ALWAYS has something for me from the boys!!

what to get the x? Hmm. The wizard will know.

A brain? Like he'd know what it was for.
A heart? His is already full of love...for himself.
Some nerve? He's got plenty of that.

OH! I know! A personality!

<dusts hands off> Well, thanks! My shopping list is done. You guys are great! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
