why i won't be getting a christmas present this year, or: how alvin worms his way out of shopping.

apparently, since i keep track of our money, if alvin buys me anything i'm going to know where he bought it. and thus, he's not able to shop for anything for me because it wouldn't be a surprise. (i told him the same is true of anything i buy for him, and he said: but i don't pay attention to our financials.)

i hope he's kidding.

i hope the pressure to buy!more!stuff! consumes him and he gets me something nice.
