Last night when I got home from work, I noticed something was… different.
Oooh! It’s a box! And look…
Whatever could it be?
Let’s open it and find out!
And in the box there was
No, really.
And inside the card… we have…
Awwww. Cards for everyone!
So, let’s get back to ME. It didn’t say “Miss Britt and Family” on the box. Let’s go back to the Box.
Oh my goodness this is a lot of opening.
Get through the second box and we have…
Good LORD this is a lot of work. Whatever is in here had better be good. We have some tissue paper, some more paper, some…
Oh my.
Here it is.
Quite possibly the best. gift. ever.
Right about here is where husband comes home and finds me squealing with delight. “Look! It even has staples!” I am absolutely cackling with happiness.
“What happened to you today?” he asks.
“I got a present!” gasping, wheezing, “Look! My friend Becky from the ‘puter sent me a present!” I collapse into a fit of giggles.
“What is that?”
“It’s a stapler!” I explain. (I mean, seriously. Clearly. It’s a stapler!)
“Ummm… OK” he is obviously still confused. “Why are people from the Internet sending you staplers?”
Thanks Becky. :-)

Oh that’s too freaking bad-ass. Go Becky!
December 19th, 2007 at 1:11 am
Becky is indeed awesome :thumbsup:

That’s a whole lotta peanuts. I hate them. They get all over.
The stapler is very pretty though. It kinda sparkles…
December 19th, 2007 at 2:41 am
that is, by far, the purrtiest stapler I’ve ever seen!
and you’re husband is cute, so avoid the face
December 19th, 2007 at 2:58 am
Shit. So now the penis bracelet drops down to #2.
December 19th, 2007 at 6:24 am
avitable: I think I’ll bring it to work. Just in case.
Amanda: it has flowers on it even!
Hilly: I know, I think he’s scared! LOL
Dee: definitely.
NYCWD: this thing was packed like nothing I’d ever seen before! LOL
Tori: me too - and hopefully we can stick with chest and don’t have to move to Plan B: forehead.
Mr. Fab: well, you know, sometimes things are nice and some things are just… nicer *coughCOLLEENcough*
Your penis bracelet was definitely the best gift I’d received up to that point though!

A diamond encrusted stapler. Makes me want to separate all my words with periods!
December 19th, 2007 at 7:01 am
Pretty, shiny stapler. I was cackling away as I got to the picture of your hubs holding the stapler. He looks like he KNOWS that it will be used in a crime against his person some day soon!!!
Congrats.
December 19th, 2007 at 8:27 am
Poor Jared!
It is a CUTE stapler though!
December 19th, 2007 at 8:45 am
i am thrilled that you are as happy with receiving it as i was buying it. the very same day that i suggested stapling a honey do list to your hubby’s chest (hi hubby! xoxo!) i walked into a cute little boutique store to pick up my aunt, saw that stapler and lost my mind. laughing like a hyena, i held it up to the snooty broad behind the counter and barely got out, “i don’t care how much, i must have this!” eventually i got it together enough to explain the reason behind my joy to aunt chris, who then couldn’t quit giggling as she finished her shopping.
love you, lady. happy stapling!
December 19th, 2007 at 8:45 am
Seriously he is still the good looking silent serial killer…. :lmfao:
December 19th, 2007 at 9:24 am
Don’t you love “the perfect gifts”s?
YAY!!
December 19th, 2007 at 9:51 am
Becky wins at life.
and the look on Jared’s face is PRICELESS.
December 19th, 2007 at 9:57 am
LOVE IT! That is the best EVAH!
December 19th, 2007 at 10:39 am
Hee hee hee! Yay, Becky!
(what a lurvely stapler it is, too)
December 19th, 2007 at 11:05 am
What a nice stapler that is… Haha! Good gift!
December 19th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
RW: I know! Like. totally!
ADW: oh, he knows. What he is wanting to know is “what the hell do you tell the Internet that they send you weapons?!!”
Kristin: poor Jared? Pfft!!
hellohahanarf: I was - made my whole night. And I’m going to leave it out in plain view as a constant reminder to giggle.
debkitty: this scares me, really.
Mom: I do! This kicks a gift card’s ASS!
Squeaky Wheel: wait, was that a contest? Crap. I’m totally too late to enter, I just know it!
(and yeah, she does!)
themuttprincess: completely agree.
wafelenbak: and it’s heavy! Top quality craftsmanship here.
Krystle: I know, I keep trying to imagine what purpose this thing had when it was made (I mean, aside from stapling my husband’s chest).
December 19th, 2007 at 12:59 pm
Chest? Staple it to his forehead. Backwards. So he can always see it.
December 19th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
:lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao:
And you even managed to get a picture of him with it. That is too cool.
BTW, yes, I’m STILL here. He’s now getting ready.
December 19th, 2007 at 1:34 pm
That is priceless!!!
Gorgeous stapler also!!! Go get em girl!
December 19th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
Uhm, forget the stapler. If you ever want to share your husband and he’s into older fatter chicks… send him to Louisiana. He’s quite cute.
Oh yeah so is the stapler. But back to your husband…
December 19th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
That is freaking awesome. I wish I had thought of it.
Um, your husband is hawt. I mean that in the best way possible.
December 19th, 2007 at 6:52 pm
Happy stapling sweetie!
December 19th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
LMFAO!!!!!! :lmfao:
The picture of hubby with said stapler is classic. I think my answer to him would have been the actual stapling of said list onto the masculine chest. ‘Nuff said!
December 19th, 2007 at 8:55 pm
OK, that is very funny, but where can I get a fancy-ass Victorian-like scroll-work embossed or whatever stapler? That’s pretty.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
annie…
i am in pittsburgh and found the stapler in sewickley. some fancy little joint called (i think) le chateau. or however you spell it at this hour! they had a gorgeous pearly pink and pearly white one, but it wasn’t as nearly as heavy as the pretty one with the roses on it. i figured for stapling important things like to do lists, one must have a substantial stapler. only the best for our miss britt.
December 20th, 2007 at 12:59 am
Finn: no there’s a thought.
AmyD: yeah, that was interesting “what is this?” hang on… let me get my camera before I tell you… LOL
NotaGranny: I know! YAY!
Lin: if you will do things to him that I won’t do - he’s pretty open.
Shelli: he gets that a lot from gay men. hehehehe
Wicked H:
Coal Miner’s Granddaughter: masculine what??
annie: see below, apparently.
hellohahanarf: I definitely appreciated the substantialness of it.
December 20th, 2007 at 8:46 am
He looks very calm, holding the stapler that will soon be the sources of serious chest pain.
December 20th, 2007 at 10:53 am
That is the fanciest stapler I have ever seen.
December 20th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
That’s one fancy-ass stapler. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anything like it.
December 20th, 2007 at 9:38 pm
I read this yesterday and busted a gut. That is soooo creative. I love it!!!
December 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 am
Your wee little blondie is pwecious.
