Hmmm well if you think "you are what you give," then stella's post makes sense!
....ok that was obscure even for me. They're tools. I was calling her family tools for giving her tools. Ye gods someone take away my caffeine.
I love you ladies. Way to make me feel better!





The mom rocks out of presents for my brother every year and this is the first year that she actually called and asked what I wanted. And my brother does the same with her-he didn't get me anything for last xmas or my birthday even. Some weird bro/mom codependancy. Or jerk-ery.
I'm a little jealous about the stuff people said they got here, but eh, I knew not to spend a lot on the family this year. I got them dvds and books. Cheap out on them Stella!

I think this is a great idea to do before you kick his ass to the curb. Give him some emotional abuse right back. Hell get one of us preggos to pee on a stick for you. Make that shit really Real. Then tell him what a total asshole he is and kick him to the curb. You DESERVE MUCH MUCH BETTER!! Every girl dreams of how her engagement will be and he is tainting it for you when you find the right man. WHICH IS NOT HIM!!
I'd sell the ring or give it back to his mom too!!




Someone got me a Haagenbath, but Im a bit nervous about using it after reading some posts about it here....

Wowza...nice haul, Mrs Vixen! The nice thing about getting those "of the month" subscriptions is that both of you can enjoy them even though they're technically "his" gift.
And if you need someone to field test your new paddle, y'know, just to make sure it's up to code and all....![]()

I got to have two Christmases!! One on the 23rd in Vegas with my family and on the 25th, my first ever Christmas w/ my man and cat (Pantera) in my home in Santa Monica, CA. First ever So. Cali Xmas!!
We had goose in Vegas and baked salmon in CaliAnd we spent the latter part of LA Xmas w/ my striking writer friends who lent us all kinds of films that are contenders for awards. We were going to see 'Juno" but I got to see it for free!
Now for the gifts:
I started planning Xmas stuff early this year, for once. I got my loved ones some very cool stuff and it felt good. However, I got the women at my work, (all the managers, bartenders and the dj) some Lush bath bombs and didn't even get a thank you![]()
Here is my stuff:
A new GPS for my car
snowboard pants
snowboard top (by SnowBunny, yay!)
cute set of Japanese bowls
a lamp
some tea
a mug for my tea
lots of candles
a beautiful, furry blanket
a gorgeous chocolate suade and fur jacket
lots of candle holders
slippers
A VS gift card
candy (lots of candy)
some Hello Kitty accessories
and make up pallettes galore!! (1 block buster from Ulta and 2 blockbusters from Sephora!)
(Btw, Ulta comes w/ tons of samples so now I am in love w/ Choco Lovers cologne and body cream)
Now this is what I bought me, (some of it I bought while I was buying for other people):
Five pairs of fuzzy socks
Lush Christmas massage bar (I'm so hooked!)
Three pairs of boots (Ok one was bought ten days before Christmas) some black stilletto ankle boots, some slightly over the knee red leather stillettos and a very subtle black/brown striped pair of knee boots w/ a shorter, elegant stiletto heel.
And a couple of things to wear out to the holiday parties this year which came in really handy:
A basic black, sequin tank dress that is not too short, and a beautiful black lace on pink/peach satin, plunging tank, lingerie top, and a not expensive but very interesting big, black and gold cocktail ring that looks like a space satellite and a not expensive, blue rhinestone chocker for work.
It was and still is a very nice Christmas!
(Formerly known as 'Korina')
Oh and I forgot to add to mine - I ordered a bunch of Lush for XMas but am still waiting for it - they say up to 3 weeks!
I cant wait for my first Lush bath - Im so ready to soak my pain away in sweet smelly goodness!

I didn't get anything from any family or friends.
But an unofficial Secret Santa sent me a 32 inch fiber optic christmas tree and some little ornaments, but what I found really touching was the handmade card with Egyptian symbols on it. It cost nothing but meant a lot to get.
I sent presents back, then tried to send another when I realized they wouldn't get there in time. But that won't make it in time either, lol.
It meant more to me to give the presents than getting anything.
Oh and I gave the bouncers and waitresses who think I'm a cheap ass for not giving them free gum every night (along with the dancers who still get it) a full pack of gum, lol!

A gallon of Jack Daniels.... I have a fabulous pirate bar in my house and host many get togethers, so I can never have enough booze. LoL.
Moola from my Aunt and Uncle..... but I wished they had gotten me a real present even if it wasn't worth half as much as the moola.

paintgoddess,
Knowing nothing else about you or about him, just on these facts, speaking as a man, I say that this guy is so utterly lacking in respect for you as a human being, he is a total jerk. You need to get it clear in your mind that he does not deserve to be with you, period.
