For me? You shouldn't have!

Have I ever told y'all how much a just luuurrve presents! Most particularly when they're mine of course, which is why I had the most de-lightful time yesterday at a little party thrown in honor of mine and Sweetpotato's long-awaited engagement. Now I suppose these presents might have been intended for him as well, seeing as how his mother threw the party and I only knew about 10 people there, but really, what does he need with a decorative dish? Ever since the day he offered his idiot friend my Waterford bowl for an ashtray, he hasn't been allowed near any dish not made of Styrofoam.

And the thing about engagement gifts is they're just wrapped up so pretty and decorated with plastic engagement rings of gumball-size (truly the most appropriate size for a diamond in my opinion). Of course then you open them to find all manner of items, some recognizable, others not so much. The thing is, I know that one day I will absolutely need 24 wine glasses and 17 cheese trays, but at this moment I simply have no where to put them! Oh yes and the vases, well I love vases, and I do intend to keep every single one, but clearly people over-estimate the flower buying frequency of my Potato. Either he needs to get to the nursery or I'm going to have to start dusting on a regular basis, God forbid.

But the day was just lovely and though my apartment is now stacked with boxes, I am just too trilled to have all this new stuff!! And it's not even my birthday, I mean imagine, all you've gotta do is promise to spend the rest of your life picking up the stray socks of one person who can't seem to find the laundry hamper and you get enough gifts to sink a ship! (Of course if we didn't get the gifts, could we live with the socks?) So if you need me, I'll be writing Thank You Notes for the rest of the month because you know the rule is: you don't get another gift until I get a note for the first, and I'm hoping there are a few more gifting events in my future;-)
