Christmas was a complete disaster. It was so much easier when my kids were small. At least I did well with my mother. She liked the orange juice machine that resembled a Ferrari. She usually hates everything. I don't know how things went so completely wrong. I think it is because I purchased jewelry. My daughter asked for a bracelet, which for some reason was very difficult to find. The few places that had it, were sold out. Oh, please understand this is an, "Internet only" operation. I dropped off my daughter at a local shopping mall and suddenly I began to feel overwhelming compassion for serial killers. For the good of humanity I do not visit retail establishments during the Christmas season. I finally located the item and it was fine, except that it arrived the Monday after Christmas.
My son wears several rings, so I decided to work with that. Following the instructions I read on line, I carefully measured his fingers. I know what you are thinking, but when I took college chemistry my lab work was pristine. Well, apparently that is another skill I no longer have. I don't know how I blew it so bad. One ring was so large, it didn't even fit my father and he has huge fingers. Perhaps it would work as a bracelet?
Maybe it is time to turn over the cash? Either that or hire a professional shopper. I have had much better years. Fortunately my kids just laugh.
