A Blogger Christmas: A Photo Essay

by Miss Britt on December 19, 2007

Last night when I got home from work, I noticed something was… different.

What is this wonderful looking thing?

Oooh! It’s a box! And look…

Miss Britt Gets A Box! Yay!

Whatever could it be?

Let’s open it and find out!

Open The box

And in the box there was

A Card for Miss Britt

No, really.

I told you it was a card

And inside the card… we have…

A card in a card in a card - OH MY!

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.

you see where this is going, right?

Oh my goodness this is a lot of opening.

Get through the second box and we have…

this is the song that never ends

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.

A beautiful intricate wonderful STAPLER!!!

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?”

Honey Do THIS! hahahahhahahahaha

Thanks Becky. :-)

    Oh that’s too freaking bad-ass. Go Becky!
    :clap:

  4. Dee December 19, 2007 2:41 am

    Becky is indeed awesome :thumbsup:

  5. NYCWD December 19, 2007 2:41 am

    That’s a whole lotta peanuts. I hate them. They get all over.

    The stapler is very pretty though. It kinda sparkles…

  6. Tori December 19, 2007 2:58 am

    that is, by far, the purrtiest stapler I’ve ever seen!

    and you’re husband is cute, so avoid the face :D

  7. Mr. Fabulous December 19, 2007 6:24 am

    Shit. So now the penis bracelet drops down to #2.

  8. Miss Britt December 19, 2007 7:00 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* :evil:

    Your penis bracelet was definitely the best gift I’d received up to that point though!

  9. RW December 19, 2007 7:01 am

    A diamond encrusted stapler. Makes me want to separate all my words with periods!

  10. ADW December 19, 2007 8:27 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.

  11. Kristin December 19, 2007 8:45 am

    Poor Jared!
    It is a CUTE stapler though!

  12. hellohahanarf December 19, 2007 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!

  13. debkitty December 19, 2007 9:24 am

    Seriously he is still the good looking silent serial killer…. :lmfao:

  14. Mom December 19, 2007 9:51 am

    Don’t you love “the perfect gifts”s?

    YAY!!

  15. Squeaky Wheel December 19, 2007 9:57 am

    Becky wins at life.

    and the look on Jared’s face is PRICELESS.

  16. themuttprincess December 19, 2007 10:39 am

    LOVE IT! That is the best EVAH!

  17. wafelenbak December 19, 2007 11:05 am

    Hee hee hee! Yay, Becky! :clap: (what a lurvely stapler it is, too)

  18. Krystle December 19, 2007 12:37 pm

    What a nice stapler that is… Haha! Good gift!

  19. Miss Britt December 19, 2007 12:59 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).

  20. Finn December 19, 2007 1:21 pm

    Chest? Staple it to his forehead. Backwards. So he can always see it.

  21. AmyD December 19, 2007 1:34 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.

    :banghead:

  22. NotaGranny December 19, 2007 1:47 pm

    That is priceless!!!

    Gorgeous stapler also!!! Go get em girl!

  23. Lin December 19, 2007 3:17 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…

  24. Shelli December 19, 2007 6:52 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.

  25. Wicked H December 19, 2007 7:50 pm

    Happy stapling sweetie!

  26. Coal Miner's Granddaughter December 19, 2007 8:55 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!

  27. annie December 19, 2007 11:37 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.

  28. hellohahanarf December 20, 2007 12:59 am

    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.

  29. Miss Britt December 20, 2007 8:46 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. :wink:

    Shelli: he gets that a lot from gay men. hehehehe

    Wicked H: :heartbeat:

    Coal Miner’s Granddaughter: masculine what??

    annie: see below, apparently.

    hellohahanarf: I definitely appreciated the substantialness of it.

  30. Heather December 20, 2007 10:53 am

    He looks very calm, holding the stapler that will soon be the sources of serious chest pain.

  31. Poppy December 20, 2007 12:49 pm

    That is the fanciest stapler I have ever seen.

  32. sourpuss December 20, 2007 9:38 pm

    That’s one fancy-ass stapler. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anything like it.

  33. The Absurdist December 22, 2007 8:02 am

    I read this yesterday and busted a gut. That is soooo creative. I love it!!!

  34. Kristi December 29, 2007 1:25 am

    Your wee little blondie is pwecious.
