5 gifts that would not make me cringe

This post goes along with the spirit of the last post, and was inspired by today's featured article on MSN that discussed "10 gifts that will make her cringe". The article mentioned things like wilted bouquets from the supermarket, stuffed animals, trashy lingerie and small appliances. I thought it was interesting. And so, in that vein, I offer 5 gift suggestions that would definitely not make me cringe.

(Disclaimer: this list is purely for wishful thinking purposes. I already know that Master Fob can probably not afford any of these things, unless he has a secret Swiss bank account that I don't know about. I'm actually looking forward to freshly barbecued cheeseburgers and a nice "foot" massage)

1. A few nights at Ko Olina resort
2. A pound of Godiva chocolate
3. Dinner for 2 at the Melting Pot
4. Tickets to the upcoming Michael Buble concert
5. A couples session at a day spa where we could get massages and facials

I do have a secret Swiss bank account, but I was planning on using the money to buy you several hundred wilted bouquets from the supermarket. Bad idea?

It's only a bad idea if you don't include any mylar balloons or stuffed animals.

I was going to comment, but I'm laughing too hard after reading your comments!

I read about The Melting Pot in the paper once. I decided it sounded pretty tasty. The article neglected to mention the price. So I dragged my friends from Provo all the way to downtown Salt Lake one day (we were doing something or other downtown but I can no longer recall what), and we stopped by The Melting Pot and looked at their menu. After a bit of drooling, we determined to all come back in 20 years when we're rich enough to afford spending that much money on a single meal. Too bad though. Sounds like fabulous food.

I, in turn, have heard that the only reason people want to eat there is because it is so expensive--so it must be good, right?

I've never had a fondue meal though--I can't quite imagine it without gross films covering everything, so maybe that's why I only remember the bad stories....

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".

Coming Out in Public

A little over 6 years ago I was on my mission in Madrid. I was transferred to new area at the same time as another elder. I remember asking him if was really from Hawaii, since he was so tall and blonde. We ended up serving together in the same district for nearly seven and a half months and had a lot of good times together. He was actually nice to the sisters and a hard worker, without being too zealous and overbearing. I knew he was going home just a month before me and planning on being an English major when he got back to BYU. When I was transferred out of that area, we exchanged emails and addresses and promised to get back in touch some day, like I did with a lot of other missionaries. I got home in January and started trying to contact some of the people I'd been friends with back in the mission. I emailed this particular elder and found out that he had gone to the computer lab that very day in order to email me. We started emailing each other and talked on the phone a few t...
