3-leggedd pants in panel 2? Nope, gonna leave that one alone. Necktie? Wallet? Seasonal boxers? Good Lord, we’re back in Cathy’s BizzaroWorld. Maybe I should go back to bed until she recovers.
Morning Susan if you arrive today. Morning lightenup after church. We’ll see Mom! tomorrow—she’s at Gretchen’sGranma’s today. KFG withdrawal—can you treat that Doc KFG? lindz.coop Billy like ‘talking’ to you last night. gmforde may be here later? Cathyites – hope Cathy’s weirdness isn’t contagious. An eye roll usually solves that for me. :-D

Women do know how to shop. My mom always had great advice for me. Cathy is ADHD .. or a looney tune. Hard to decide.

KFG I think my Christmas scene of a day ago is of unknown attribution. I’ve found similar images but no artist credit. It isn’t a Thomas Kinkade though. We have the lighthouse series that he painted hanging up in our den because I’m is a huge fan of TK and lighthouses.

Wow! Thanks for including me in your list, AaronClaus. I am honored. The three legged pants are a little creepy. My husband shops just like Irving, even in the grocery store. He can shop and be done in half an hour when it can take me over an hour. He does our food shopping. lol I think Cathy is ADHD. I agree with the eyeroll idea. It came in handy more than once already. :-)

And this is the reason why electronics and hardware stores exist. My husband and I have this problem on our anniversary. While I certainly don’t spend a month searching for the “perfect” gift, I have a hard time figuring out what he would like because he either buys it himself or he wants a Ferrari. Whereas he has the “standard 3” to choose from and I’m happy: jewelry, chocolate or flowers.Hello everyone! Hi AaronClaus, Billy Kringle (great names! :-)), gmforde, lindz.coop, yentlsoup, nannygram, O-Kay, Nancy and all the other Cathy nuts! The non-stop craziness is finally over and I can relax this afternoon. The highlight was today with the Christmas pageant at church and where my kids read a prayer together. Sweet memories… Hi KFG! Your posts yesterday cracked me up! You were on a roll (with extra cheeze). LOL! I love all Inspector Gadget, although the TV series will always hold a place in my heart. Hasta mañana, GsMom! (or as I tell my husband: hasty banana!)

Love the Christmas names! Thanx too for including me in the list of “Hi’s”. I don’t always post because I usually am the last one on here, and I figure no one ever sees it anyway.

No WONDER I have such a hard time shopping for my husband . . . there’s absolutely nothing to choose from! And to think, all this time I thought it was just me being unable to shop properly!!!!!
lightenup: Same thing with my husband! If there’s anything he wants during the year and he comes across a good deal, he goes ahead and buys it for himself. That’s the biggest reason why I had to give up surprising him long ago and had to start asking him what he wants. It takes all the fun out of it but what can you do???!!!
gmforde: My husband shops just like your husband . . . in and out in no time — including the grocery store!
(btw: I’m writing this on Monday (12/12) because this particular comic just hit too close to home for me not to!)
