Fun with Blogger!
I deleted this post, thinking it'd been a mistaken duplicate...then I *read* it...it starts off as the "Christmas" post...then goes off to become something else, from someone else. I don't explain, I don't understand, I just post it here for amusement. And I assert too, that I have never ever been given a cat shaped stapler.---original post---
As I sat there on the stairs tonight, looking at you playing and eating (my God, a vegetable!) a carrot, it made me wonder... I know you're far too young to really understand the whole conecause 1) I have a lot of business cards to use up before Dec. 30 and 2) I still had a little Christmas faith.
Last year, I got a stapler shaped like a cat. It wasn't even a nice-looking stapler shaped like a cat. Plus, I'm not a cat person. I thought I'd regive it this year, but I tell you, it's so not cute that I can't even think of anyone to regive it to.
I gave my person a DVD of an HBO movie that I got for free at a journalism conference -- maybe she didn't think that was such a hot gift either. And I was so jealous and disappointed because all the other recipients were shooting the whole newsroom a note saying "Thanks, Secret Santa! I love my [insert totally festive, cute or tasty gift here]." My person didn't post a thank you, and neither did I.
Still, I kept the faith, because odds were the cat stapler person wasn't going to pick my name again. I thought about regiving the cat stapler to my person, but I couldn't be sure she wasn't the one who gave it to me last year. So I picked out a nice desk calendar, appropriate for an editor type, and gave it to her. She sent an office wide thank you, so I feel good.
I was further rewarded with four blue and white tea cups and a gajillion chocolate coins. I tell you, I have been mechanically peeling and eating those chocolate coins for the past hour.
