(Obligatory Christmas Post)
I’m known in my family for being completely unable to produce a useful Christmas list. My list this year consisted of one item–an exercise ball.
In my defense, I have some legitimate excuses. First, there are things that aren’t easily transported between Upstate NY and DC. My parents don’t buy things online and rarely come to vist me, so anything in this category is usually excluded. My second excuse is that there are general things that I want (e.g., a cardigan, black flats) that I’d rather pick out myself. This means gift certificates–lots of ‘em. They’re useful, but they kinda take the fun out of opening the presents. Hey, I like surprises. I think my mother knew this because while I didn’t get the now standard pile of gift certificates, I also got a new digital camera! Didn’t see that one coming.
In case you’re wondering, I did get the excercise ball.
