The Christmas season is fast approaching- or at least that’s what all the department stores are telling me. I’m trying to get prepared early this year, because my ankle surgery has been scheduled for December 15th. I will be out of commission after that day, so all of my Christmas tasks must be finished by then. The kids are easy. A couple of My Little Ponies, maybe a princess dress or two, and they’re good to go. My husband, however, is a completely different story. He is so hard to shop for. He says he wants power tools. Which… yeah. I’ll get him a saw thingie or something but I don’t want to get him just power tools. What do you get for the guy who’s kind of but not really into sports and likes power tools but hardly ever uses them and isn’t really into any hobbies that require store bought accessories?

And also?

How can I convince a man who despises animals to get me a sweet widdle puppy for Christmas?

A cute widdle fuzzy puppy who I could love and snuggle and kiss and who would protect me from all the bad bad robbers? A darling widdle puppy that never needs to be walked when it’s raining and only has to poop cute widdle poops at times that are convenient for me? Puppies like that exist, don’t they?
