I know... it sounds rude and uncalled for but seriously... I just don't like it. I'm very much talking about the Christmas gift my Mother-in-Law gave me this year... well, not THIS year because it's only January but you know what I mean... the most recent Christmas gift from her. It's a jacket-like piece of clothing. It's plaid but in white and light blue, which isn't really my cup of tea or color of choice. It doesn't go with anything I own and doesn't look like it even belongs in my closet at all. As bad as I feel about complaining, she's known me for over 15 years and knows me well enough to know that what she bought me isn't something I'd like. That's not even my real complaint. My mother-in-law was in Italy over the summer and as I was texting with her, I joked that I would love a sundress from Italy. She replied, "Haha, maybe not that but I was thinking of getting you and the other adult women (her 2 daughters, and other daughter-in-law) an Italian crossbody purse for Christmas." I LOVED THAT IDEA... and I let her know that I would literally love anything from Italy. Whelp, here came Christmas and I got this disappointment of a gift and the explanation of "Well, I just couldn't find anything in Italy that screamed your name"... NOTHING? Nothing at all, in the entire country of Italy, seemed like something that I MIGHT like? Yet, this overshirt, jacket, what-the-fuck-ever, seemed perfect for me? I feel like such an afterthought at this point. Like she may have gotten me something better as a gift but forgot about someone more important to her than me so they got whatever she got me and I got this POS what-the-fuck-ever from a wholesale, warehouse store (think Costco or Sam's Club). I know I shouldn't let this bother me but it does: I have petty thoughts and a bitter taste in my mouth. Oh, and just for clarity... I gifted her a storm glass for Christmas...It's a diamond shaped glass containing a transparent solution that is composed of a number of chemical substances. Crystals will form different shapes within the solution according to the temperature and weather. Cool, I know. I give good gifts lol. Thanks for listening to me bitch and moan. Enjoy your day! Find some time to relax and give a little kindness if you can spare it! Do well. Be well! I guess it's called a "Shacket"...whatever.
