So yesterday while I was wrapping some presents the wife mentions for the 100th time that you are so hard to buy for? I say why is that I gave you a list of things I would like to have (the usual hobby supplies, boxes of cards etc.) She says you can buy those yourself. You know what you want. I say but that is what I would like.

Hmmmmmm sometimes they just don't understand

Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project.

She asked me for my list today and of course the things I want are way too expensive. Once we shop for the kids (aka $100 a pop it seems UGH) the last thing I want is ........ well anything. >(

I want a new TV for the mancave, I am still using a 19" tubed TV from the 90s, works fine but its remote is dead and the picture is SO small. But IMO too expensive ...... I like buying / giving ..... hate getting. Always have and not sure why. Oh well I guess I had better get at it. =/
