Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about my husband's birthday present to me this year. I am notoriously hard to shop for, or so I am told. There are two reasons for this: the first is that I don't know what I want unless I am looking right at it, and the second is that if I don't want a gift I have just received, I have no talent for hiding my feelings.
After 19 years by my side, Jeff is used to this, because a man can get used to almost anything. Being used to a situation doesn’t mean you are happy with it. Gift-giving occasions are an emotional minefield around our house.
( Boom! )
