Ouch - nothing is better than what the MIL gives you. :) LOL at the marriage book though!
Great list! Happy TT.
Neptunebaby (aka: Toni)
Hey... at least she acknowledges you at all.. it could be worse...
Who the hell am I kidding?
I'd be rockin the tweety slippers though, just because I'm sure they were that obnoxious.
Too funny!
Sounds like MIL has the gift of giving the wrong gift! What a funny list!
A hyacinth? Surely you jest Toni! This list made me laugh OUT LOUD!
Dontcha love the MIL's.
Now you'll have to let us know what you get this year!!
On the other hand, you can rub it in her face that her precious son is having intimate relations with you. (I forget what your blog is rated, so I used a phrase suitable for a PG rating.) Dude, she hates you.
That list is a 13-part definition of thoughtlessness! The marriage book is the most insulting gift.
