I'm going to blame you for the fact that I just learned two new words:
vajiggle jaggle and beautimous

When she compared a vagina to a Hardee's biscuit I almost died.

Me too.
But if there's one thing that I really like about these people, it's how proud they are. While they may be perceived by outsiders as a redneck science experiment gone wrong, on average they seem to have high self esteem which a lot of people simply do not have. There are some cases of poor body image, but that seems to be a separate issue and not necessarily unfounded. Also they're a very close knit family and supportive of each other without blowing smoke up each others asses. Those things definitely enhance the show's watch-ability.

I may have a shopping problem. . . or maybe it's early onset dementia.

Yesterday I picked up a package at the mail room that I have no memory of ordering. 8-D It was from Gymboree and things that I remember putting in my virtual shopping basket. I just don't remember placing the actual order. I don't have my credit card information saved, so I had to have placed the order. . .

Unlike Sibil, evidently I don't have a problem spending my DH's paycheck.

[Beeps (WOT?*)]

I went to Facebook and saw that DH's cousin's husband posted for Oreo's Birthday Cake cookies. His wife is pregnant and due any second and someone asked if she was craving. He said no, he was. I ordered a package of two from Amazon. He's getting $17 worth of cookies on Tuesday. Yup, $17 for two bags of Oreos cookies.

I figure he's been put through her cravings so he should have one satisfied before the baby's born. He's also a doll. They'll be great parents and that will be one spoiled grandbaby (DH's aunt who didn't want a child dotes on her daughter, DH's cousin, so I can just imagine how overboard she'll go with the grand.)

Sounds like you have a shopping problem--a benevolent one though! That is very sweet! I am certain that he will appreciate your gift!

Last night I went to a birthday party that MIL threw for herself. A few weeks ago she was telling everyone "oooohh I don't need any gifts blah blah" and then she looked directly at me and said "I WANT CANDLES FOR MY BIRTHDAY!" I was a little more than pissed that she not only told me to buy her a gift, she specified what it had to be.

Since H was there he insisted we actually get her what she asked for. I took the passive aggressive route and bought her a candle entitled "Be Thankful"

That is classic.

And yup, I have a shopping problem. But it's fun. I was giggling the whole time I was on the phone with MIL to confirm his mailing address. (I cleaned out our drawers and wasn't sure if I had the most current info; we get mailers from DH's other aunt every year with current addresses for all family members and I tossed out about a thousand of them.) I figure $17 is cheap for the warm fuzzies that ensue.
