Haha…. well played.

Woah!!! Yeah – a whole other set of problems with that one! So interesting how many nuances there are with this stuff… Nothing’s so cut and dry these days, haha…

I’m so giving gifts to people unexpectedly now :) and glad your husband has caught on!! (it takes us a while sometimes, haha…)

Too funny, haha…

And I agree – Raisinets are the bomb. (Though I never really see them anywhere?!)

“Don’t make me use my teacher mode.”

I want that mug and I’m not even a teacher!!! :)

I think that’s a perfect way to phrase it :) Because it gives them the WHY which helps a lot. I’ve told people I’ll just get mad at them if they ever reciprocate on the few times I’ve ever given unexpectedly, but usually that still doesn’t work so I’m going to steal your idea for the next ;)

(and actually – all this is reminiscent of trying to pay the bill for people at dinner or coffee or whatever! It’s nice to be able to do them a favor, but almost always they will try paying the next time which then cancels it out :( )

That is true :)

Maybe we can just mail people little notes instead of gifts so it’s a Win-Win all around??? Haha….

Wine for me, please :)

OOH that’s a good idea with the picture!!! Never thought of that and will totally spice up my text thank yous!! ;)
