RE gifts for spouses: I told H I was ok not doing gifts this year. He doesn't believe me because I said that another year and got upset. I made him a list at his request and will give him a limit. I want to get him something but he doesn't want anything.
I still need to finish shopping for DH. He is so hard to shop for that I make him give me a list of things he wants. It makes me feel badly that I suck at shopping for him because I NEVER give him a list and he ALWAYS buys the best stuff for me! It is also his birthday on the 21st and DS's birthday on January 15th so I feel like I have so much to buy! Still no clue what to get DS for his birthday.
I feel ya! H's birthday is 11/22, he usually gives a list for both his birthday and Christmas, but it's always short and I have to share it with both our families. I've come up with some cool things in the past, but it's getting harder. I never give a list and he always gets me great gifts for Christmas and my birthday (which is in January). But he doesn't want/need much and whatever he does want/need he usually just buys for himself.
No way! That is my H's bday too! And my sister is the 21st, and the other is the 31st. I basically save up my money all year for December.
My gift to him was letting him buy whatever booze he wanted, no questions asked. He has a whiskey/scotch collection, so I am sure he went a little wild

That seems to be the consensus across a lot of the country. The weather we all have been having is ridiculous. This week we're supposed to be in the mid-80s, which is hot even for FL this time of year. Damn El Niño.
Tell me about it. I'm wearing jeans and a tank top.
My parents are taking DD to Downtown Disney on Wednesday to see my niece and nephew sing with their chorus. She'll be wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Very Christmas-y.

Nice! The 22nd is also MH's cousin's birthday and our niece's is on the 7th and our dating anniversary is on the 8th. The end of the year is definitely busy!
This year for his birthday I let him pick out a new recliner chair since my cat tore up the old one. So now I'm out of cool ideas for Christmas.
For your H, have you looked into month clubs? MH is really into beer so I've done beer of the month clubs where you sign up to receive shipments each month. You can stretch it out too, so I'll do 6 months of shipments but have the shipments come every other month. And with most places you can either pay by shipment or pay all at once when you first sign up. I believe I've seen scotch ones and I'm sure they have whiskey ones too. Maybe something to keep in mind for next year?

Ooh I love that idea! I do a wine of the month for me, I should let him on the fun too Thanks!

I switched up my usual Panera order and I'm really disappointed. Never doing that again!
ETA: Thai Chicken Salad and soup FTW! Chicken and Ancient Grains salad - not so much.
I'm so pissed at Panera right now. Last week I ordered through the drive-thru and when I got home I realized that they had forgot to put the apple chips on my salad - the Fuji Apple Salad. Come on!

I'm getting sewing burnout. I underestimated how long it would take to make 2 of everything. I decided to finish my cousin's daughter's first and DD's later. The most tedious stuff is left. Here are 2 recent pages I made. I am putting a bunch of barrettes and pony tail holders in the quiet book so the girls can play with the hair on the hair page.
I saw a Toys'r'Us commercial where a soldier mom surprises her kid on Christmas morning and starting crying. Then I watched Bones and cried some more. Apparently I'm just a mess of crying right now*.
Interesting. I like who Bieber is becoming. And I like Kourtney. Good for them. But didn't one of her sisters bang him too?
Back in the spring there were reports he was banging Kendall. But you are probably right in that this would be weird for any other family but ... they're the Kardashians.
I am a fan of the Biebs lately. I love his new album. Also if you haven't watch the Carpool Karaoke videos he did with James Corden for the Late Late Show. Hilarious and amazing.
