It Is The Thought That Counts

My father got me a fake iPod that never worked. Kind of pissed me off. Wound up buying a real one for myself last month!

Awww, man. My hubby did that, too. I've never liked iPods personally, but my hubby got me some anonymous mp4 player with a touch screen. We shall see how that goes. It's still the thought that counts, but I don't know what has him buying me random stuff, and he knows I'm picky...but appreciative.

I will admit it...I got each of my kids a Meizu music player. It costs about half of what an iPod costs BUT we are having major issues with importing music due to file formats. I will probably suck it up and plunk down the $100+

My mother lost her father when she was 12 and still hasn't dealt with what happened.

My uncle called me before Christmas and informed me that he had a surprise for my mother. When he came over for Christmas he gave her a painting of her mother and father. She was moved to tears and really loved the gift. The thing was is that it was a painting he had gotten done for himself and had hanging in his house for 3 years. I thought it was nice. My mom knew it came off the wall in his house, but she didn't care. To her it was the best Christmas gift she got this year.

My other uncle and his wife (haven't had the heart to refer to her as an aunt yet) saw the picture when my mom unwrapped it and my uncles' tactless wife says, "Isn't that the picture that was hanging on your brother's wall. His wife (soon to be ex-wife) don't mind?" My mother gave her a look that said, " And your point is...." So yes it is the thought that counts and I am glad it put a smile on her face.
