Title: The ongoing "Guess what I got?" WOOTIE thread!
Post by: asdf2231 on December 23, 2008, 09:30:25 AM
I am so freaking psyched right now.

I called my wife at her office just to touch base and she asked me if I was going to be around today because they were delivering something to the house today and someone needed to be here for it.  She is planning on leaving work and being here when they call her to give her a delivery window and told me to go forth and errand.

She bought me something that needs to be delivered!!  :hyper:

I asked her if it was something I wouldn't know about till Christmas and she laughed and said "Oh HELL no!" :-)

HEEEE!

Well, if'n you're lucky, like me, you've got something beautiful like this on it's way back home.

But since I'm the only one around with one of these, you probably aren't as lucky as me.

On the mend?

Remarkably so.  (and I apologize for the thread hijack by the way)

She's well enough that the nurses wheeled her down the hall to give her a shower.  Standing up - with the aid of a walker - and cleaning the grime off for the first time in a week (not counting the sponge baths  :p )

D6 if all men treated as well, fought for, took an interest in, and loved their wives as much as you obviously do yours, marriages would hold together happily for a lifetime. I'm glad to see she is making progress everyday.

(eta the obvious in treatment of husbands as well, but I think someone else covered that in the Dumpster thread earlier today :lmao:)

As for you asdf, now you got the rest of us all excited knowing as you are. You better not ditch this thread for the rest of the day now.  :-)

The above being said, lol, I am STILL on tenterhooks.

I have to pick the Mancub up and take him into Madison for his alergy shot right after school and my wife is on her way home to be here when the delivery guys arrive between now and 5pm.  :p And they haven't gotten here yet so I have no idea.  :hyper:

I am going to wild guess and say that it might be an Elephant or a Clydesdale.  Possibly a cement mixer.

Did you make the mistake of singing an extra chorus or six of "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" within earshot of your wife?

Those sound like good choices. There might be a lot of Clydesdales available for a good home since the eeevil Belgians now own AB in STL.  :-)

I want to echo Miss Mia's thoughts. You must have excellent doctors there and a wife with a strong will to get back to her family as soon as possible.

May you have a blessed Christmas.

But....the most important gift this season was news I received at the end of November.  I had been picked by a birthmom to parent her child.  After 2 years of paperchasing, the end is somewhat near. :-)

Are you going to be a surrogate or are you donated eggs?

Ohhhhhh I love adoptions!  They make me cry every time! :bawl:  Even though my BIL & SIL went through 2 different birthmoms backing out at the last second they were blessed with 3 perfect little angels!  Every time I look at them my heart wants to just burst. :bawl:

It took me FOREVER to get home with the Mancub from the shot clinic.  There was a 3 car accident with a rollover and two other vehicles off the road in the cornfields.  Some real industrial strength retard on the road with the ice and the snow.

ANYhoo...

I walked into the house to find THIS:

A 50" Plasma HD. 

:yahoo: :II: :bday:

Seriously just about the last thing in the world I expected.  My wife is SOOOOO getting lucky tonight, lol.

LOL!

The girls potty train easier and aren't so lively.  The drawback is that when the hormones kick in they become savage forest creatures with mighty powers.

Boys are more energetic. My Mancub doesn't walk across a room... He Swashbuckles! (A lot of diving and rolling, lol.)

It's ALL good! :)

Congrats, very happy for you. My niece and her husband have been going through the adoption route for a little girl from China. It's been 3 or 4 long years. I'm hoping they get good news soon. It's been so long for them.

Tell me about it!

I got her a Garmin Nuvi 205, a signed and numbered art print for her office that I got framed: http://freeny.deviantart.com/art/Pneumatic-Anatomica-53318794 and a red swingline stapler for her desk because she loves Office Space so much.  Also some ear rings and some odds and ends, scarves/sashes that match her dresses, bath stuff, etc.

Thank Gawd the present giving isn't a competition around here.  :p

We watched The Clone Wars on it and played some X-Box.

Papa bear is pleased. :)

Have to agree with an earlier post of yours though, I think D6 having his wife on the mend is better than anything the rest of us could get this year.

NICE present, asdf!  Flat-screens rock (but LCD's are better than plasmas   :uhsure:  ).

I think you did more than a good job on picking out gifts for your wife...Garmins are wonderful presents for us ladies. ;)   (I love mine, and will be making use of it tomorrow :) )

Having been on RCCL twice, and dearly wanting to go again, I envy you a lot.  Next time, it might be Disney for us, though, with The Heiress now getting around better.  She did two short walking runs last night--four and five steps, each time after lifting herself up from the floor.  The steps were only about an inch long, but she'll be all over the place by New Year's.

Disney cruises will hopefully be in my future.

This is my first RC cruise,,,,,I've done 4 Carnival cruises,,so will be interesting how they compare.  I want to try Celebrity too some day
