12 Days of Christmas: Days 6-8

(Click on the photos to make printing more legible) 

Day 8 - an 8-piece meal from Popeye's.  Oh, I can't even believe I did this.  In his mind, this one rivals Day 1 for best gift.  You see, he LOVES Popeye's chicken and I don't love Popeye's chicken and pretty much I refuse to go there.  But if you haven't heard, all KFC's in California have been taken over by Popeye's, so that convenient place on the corner on  my way home from work is now Popeye's -- and he's thrilled. 

 

Day 7 - A size 7 [and a quarter] hat.  This was actually on his wish list -- although I bought grey instead of blue because I liked it.  Unfortunately, sounds like it will be going back for an exchange because he's a traditionalist and he said, "When I go to a Dodger game I don't want to wear a grey hat - I want a BLUE hat."  He's right.  So we'll go trade it for blue (after the Christmas rush).

 

Day 6 - Six mechanical pencils.  Believe it or not, pencils disappear off of this guy's desk even faster than the pens.  And each time they're all missing, I seem to be the accused - probably because when he comes looking, there is usually at least one or two in the bottom of my purse, by my prayer chair or on my nightstand.  So I'm stocking him up - and this should hold him for awhile.
