Cara: Gift cards are always a good way to go! Some of my gifts involve that. I got my younger sister a gift card to a little clothing boutique near us, for my older sister, who is 8 months pregnant, I got two cute onesies, plus a gift card for take-out food for after the baby comes, for my mom I got top shelf scotch and whiskey stones, for David I'm getting an engraved pocket watch, and for my dad, we're all chipping in to get him a Wii (because he really wants one!) I feel pretty good about my gifts this year!!
Sassy - I actually thought of this same episode when I first read Lucy's post!
That is hilarious!
Sassy - I am not able to tolerate nuts, or any high fat foods at all yet. I tried a peanut butter granola bar for breakfast yesterday, and my insides went spastic. DH and I generally get in a decent meal in the evenings (protein, rice/starch, and usually a green vegetable); I just struggle a bit with getting stuff in throughout the day. Plus, I have been nervous lately about missing work (double whammy on the tummy issues); so, I am overly cautious with what I eat when I am here. I have less than two weeks now until I see the GI doctor, so if I can just hold on until then. Who knows? I may even be further on the mend by the time that appointment comes around!

epi/ shiona: hi girl! long time and missing you!!
Lucy - Those all sound great! The Wii is so much fun! Also, the watch is a great idea! CRF is going to love it!
Glad that you are feeling better this afternoon, lizo!
Lucy - Sorry, your work sounds worse than mine! :P Those are good gifts!
I never ever know what to get people. It's almost always a gift card. Oops. I do bake a tin of cookies for every household in my immediate family for christmas. So hopefully that makes up for my lack of creativity in the gift department!
I actually found something more interesting I could do to put off my annoying tasks. LOL I swear I was putting this off too so it's ok!!
And now it's time for me to leave, Yay! Have a good day girls!
