This morning my dad, brother, and I all went shopping for the perfect gift for my mom. We knew exactly what we wanted to get her...a necklace with a cross on it. Simple enough, right? Wrong. We spent over three hours going from store-to-store in search of this "perfect" gift. We saw probably a hundred different necklaces, but there wasn't a single one that the three of us agreed upon. My dad was overjoyed about my going along with him, since he claimed I could give him "a woman's opinion about this kind of thing." I was almost in the dark as much as he was. I mean, I don't even WEAR jewelery (except for my class ring and Promise Ring, that is), so I wasn't much help. There were a lot of things I LIKED, but nothing I LOVED, which I think is what my dad wanted me to find. Soooo, I have to drag my mom to town today to get some ideas, but as my dad told me, I "can't make it too obvious." Heh...riiiiight. And what is "too obvious," anyway?

I'm the worst person in the world at picking out gifts for other people. Then again, no one I want to get something for has given me even the slightest hint about what I can give them. Oh, well...hmm...

My dad and brother just came back with a Christmas tree. *sniff sniff* Mmm...the wonderful scent of pine...spruce...whatever it is...blueberry...I dunno. LOL. We're going to surprise my mom by decorating it before she gets home. *eyes begun to burn from the scent* Ow...This week I wrote the worst article I've ever written for the paper. I asked people from school what fruitcake's really made of...nobody knew.

Well, I'm going to decorate the tree now...yay!
