It is the gift giving season, and I'm sure there are many of you wondering what the perfect gift might be for me. Honestly, I don't expect you to go to all that trouble, because gift cards are convenient and appreciated.

DeleteOh. Like the "wink" takes the sting away.
DeleteHa.
DeleteLove the Disney one. Couldn't Mike Henneke have written all of these?
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that I appreciate the new countdown widget.
ReplyDeleteOmigosh!! I have everyone of those!!
ReplyDeleteYou're my favorite, but you're hard to shop for. I guess I'll just send you my kids' handprints in plaster.

ReplyDelete"The Self Series: How to Tell People Who You Really Are"

ReplyDeleteAnd really?!?! A Hobbit countdown widget? Please tell me it's sarcasm again. Please? No?....*sigh*
#whyareallmyfriendsnerds?
Thanks for the comment Miss Self-righteous Hobbit Hater. Let's just say it is a vast improvement over my last movie widget, and I couldn't find one for "A Good Day to Die Hard".
ReplyDeleteHow'z about one for Les Mis? Huh? Huh? That would be totally boss and would get you a spot at the cool kids table!
DeleteAnd someone has to be the Hobbit Hater. Consider me doing all ya'll a favor and taking it for the team
:):):) YES. If I like Les Mis, does that make me cooler than him?
DeleteScoff.
DeleteScoff all you want. I think I just stole your seat at the cool kids table.
DeleteCool kids don't keep track of which table they sit at.
DeleteNope. They don't have to. They already know they belong there.
DeleteNo, the cool kid's table happens to be wherever the cool kids choose to sit. The kids make the table, the table doesn't make the kids. I'm sorry to have to be the one to explain this to you. ;)
DeleteSemantics. As of now, you're eating lunch in the library ;)
DeletemCat, does that mean I get to leave the library finally?
DeleteLet's not forget the following books

Pres. Uchtdorf called:
ReplyDeleteHe would like to meet with you. And bring your temple recommend.
I think you are bluffing. If he had wanted to meet with me, he would have told me this morning at raquetball.
DeleteNow *that* was funny, MMM.
DeleteI knew you and Mike would hit it off, but I never thought he'd get to be the author of a fictitious book, lame or not.
ReplyDeleteOK. So MIke didn't really write it. But he COULD have, if I hadn't been so demanding of his time on Facebook. I feel I owe him.
