Good morning!
There are 2 kinds of people, those who are almost done with their Christmas shopping and those who are like me...I've thought about shopping, but that's about as far as I've taken it. I don't mind telling you that when it comes to shopping, I'm a Scrooge. Well, not so much a Scrooge...more like a guy. I don't mind spending the money, I just hate shopping.
I think I'm going to head out and participate in the annual brawl in the mall. I SOOO don't like that but sooner or later, it’s a necessary evil. It’s not as though I don’t WANT to have gifts for my loved ones…I would rather just wiggle my nose and have a pile of gifts appear under the tree. Unfortunately, that’s not gonna happen so I have to go shopping. (But…before I walk out the door, I’ll look at the tree and wiggle my nose once…just in case.)
I finally finished the inside decorations so all that’s left is the outside and that’s my son’s job. I have about 20 candles throughout the house and last night I lit them all. That was fun. But looking for all of them to blow out…not so much. The house does look nice with everything decorated…but it takes 4 times as long to take it all down and repack it properly. That’s why I end up with a Christmas house in March.
Does anybody know the rules on buying guys (or girls) gifts after you’ve dated them a couple of times? I have a couple of those and I have no clue what, if anything, to get them. I could keep an emergency gift for any guy who happens to bring me one. Maybe a nice wrench…ya think? What guy doesn’t need more tools? Or, is that like buying a woman an iron?
And sweaters won’t do, one of them is tall and thin and the other is tall and perfect. One likes all music and the other likes classic rock. Damn…I’m back to a wrench.
By the way, I went out with a guy Friday night. I’ve known him for a while and I’ve been wanting to grab him and grab him good. He kept apologizing for being all touchy feely. I didn’t mind one bit. I’m the same way. So, before the night was over, I was just as touchy feely as he was. At one point, I went to kiss him and he sort of offered me his cheek. Well, that did it for me. I figured that he just wasn’t interested. But he kept calling me and even hinted about having me make him dinner. I was thinking the same thing so I said, “Funny you should mention that…I was thinking about inviting you over for dinner.” He said that he would LOVE that so we have a dinner date now.
I guess I misread the cheek thing. You men confuse the hell out of me. I never know if I’m getting a shy guy or a guy who wants to get in my pants that night.
Oh well, I suppose it’s time to go get ready for Hell Week. I have to drive to the mall during Christmas-time. If I’m not back in 2 days…send help.
See ya!

this may or may not apply to the guy you dated...but if you were in a public place maybe he felt a bit shy? I know that's rare but I have seen men that are weird about the whole affection in public thing.
I'm done Christmas shopping, but I did it all online. I refuse to brave the idiotic masses at the mall. I'd end up slapping someone and it wouldn't be pretty.
I just shopped from the convenience of my own home and had it all delivered right to my door. All that's left is the wrapping, which we'll do on Christmas Eve. That way both Mr. Jaded and my mother in law can help and get it done in half the time.
I don't know if he was shy or not, he certainly WAS touchy feely in public. He could have kissed me good night at the door. He did give me a cheek to cheek hug. They all confuse me so it's nothing new. He's still keeping in touch so I guess I'll ask him when and if we get close enough to ask such things. I'll let you know!
And online shopping...damn, I think I'll do that myself. The onloy thing I should buy in person is toys...I may go buy toys and then go online and order everyone else I know a big tin can of popcorn.
:)
Chocolate body paint as a gift- not too subtle lol! No really- maybe aftershave?
AKA,
You know...that's not out of the realm of possibility but not one of them has earned that sort of gift just yet. Oh well, maybe next year.
:(
