Another B'day Brain Fart!

Well Crap! I just missed my niece's b'day a few days ago and today (I just discovered) is the 17th of August which is, not so coincidentally, my dad's 50th birthday. I didn't forget. I swear I didn't. Well...not really anyway. I was perfectly clear on when his birthday is...just let it sneak up on me a whole lot sooner than I expected. Luckily, he doesn't get home from work today until 7:30 tonight. So my husband and I have about 4 hours to put our heads together and decide what in the world we get a 50 year old man who eats, sleeps, works, occasionally messes with the computer and frequently plays tennis but has everything he could possible want for that particular sport (and according to my Mom probably shouldn't have bought in the first place!) LOL. My mom and sister got him a cake and a computer game...so that takes care of the eating and computing part. Guess I'm stuck with the tennis. Dang! Now what? My brain is zapped from working on my online Avon ad most of the morning and I now find that I have reverted to "toddler talk." You know... the basic "see spot run" language that my kids understand completely and my husband is irritated by when I use it on him. (Sad thing is..it usually work better on him than the kids!) LOL Any good ...did I mention inexpensive...gift ideas? Come on..I've only got 4 hours!

Thanks Birdie! I did actually look through my Avon stuff, but there really wasn't much that would have appealed to him. I can't wait until C20 when the new Mens' Catalogues are supposed to come out though! My husband thinks he's tired of being my guinea pig for men's products now..just wait! LOL
