I did get the ring. I was expecting it for Christmas but did not get until Valentines.
His Mother had told my Mother that I would be getting a ring for Christmas and of course my Mother told me.
It turned out that his Mother had offered to provide the Diamond and assist Him in picking a setting and she backed out at the last minute. DH didn't want to make a last minute purchase at the height of Diamond price inflation season. Of course I didn't know about The Mother in law's involvement after I did get the ring.

Once when working retail I had helped an older lady out for an hour and when I was ringing up her purchase she thanked me for being helpful and slide something in my hand. I looked down and saw $10....

play money.. She smiled and said her family loves it when she puts it in thier birthday cards....good thing she paid with a credit card.

My best gift ever was for Valentine's Day this past year. DH gave me season 5 and 6 of Scrubs (I'm a Scrubs-aholic) and peppermint patties (my fav) packaged in a reusable Target bag. DH knows me so well. He thought out the bag thing. I hate to waste anything. He realized that the reusable bag was cheaper than a gift bag, and it fits in my purse

I love that man

My worst gift was back in the 80's. I wanted a Cabbage Patch Kid sooooooooo bad for Christmas. I woke up to some reject wannabe doll. It was scary looking. I always hated it. My parents had been unable to find or afford one. As a parent now, I understand. But dang, just thinking about that creepy looking doll wigs me out

The toilet bowl brush "gift" came from a man who's father used to drink a bottle of hard stuff all night on Holiday nights such as Christmas and then drag his wife and children from their beds in the middle of the night, demand they stand in a line like the military and berate them for even thinking this was a holiday... I was so sure I could help this person heal but every time he came close, it would feel uncomfortable to him and he'd revert to what he was used to. Our daughters and I have tried to learn from our experience and we are strong, caring women but help each other not to repeat history blunders

The funny thing is, I can get animals past their past torment(s) and heal, develope into wonderful and happy companions, no problem​

My dh gave me a box of them for Sweetest day and I thought they were like hockey pucks.
He usually gives Marie's candy but I guess he forgot what the day was.
I acted like I really appreciated the Whitmans
and each day would throw one piece in the trash so he'd think I was eating them ewwww
