X-mas, Mr. Joe's New Power Tool AND the..............GPS!!!!!!!!!

When my boys were younger, I would take them to the store and let them pick out whatever they wanted for Christmas. Thus they would get something they REALLY wanted plus a few surprises.

So when I asked Mr. Joe - What do you want? A Drill - so I picked up a One/Half Inch Keyless Chuck Cordless Black Max Drill at Sam's Club. When I showed it to him, "he said I did pretty good considering the fact that I don't speak "Power Tool Lingo" HOWEVER he wanted a one/half inch Keyless Chuck drill WITH a cord. The Cordless Drills keep losing power thus the corded drill is good for back-up.

No Big Deal- The Cordless Drill wasn't that expensive. I'll buy him a second drill at LOWE'S so I drove to LOWE's and found everything BUT a , 1/2 inch Keyless Chuck Drill with a cord. When I asked the Power Tool Sales Woman about it, she suggested that 1/2 inch Keyless Chuck Drill with cords are Dinosaurs. It's like the box shaped Televisions. They don't exist anymore. I opted to buy him a LOWE'S Gift Card so that he can find his own Antique Drill and she expressed the fact that was a
Marvelous Idea.

After the shopping adventure at LOWE'S, I went to I-HOP for Lunch. They were offering $25. Gift Certificates with a $5. Coupon. That is the perfect gift for the Prospective Step- and in Law.

So.............I wrapped everything in Newspaper with elaborate ribbon decoration. I've been wrapping X-Mas Presents like this since I was a . My family expects it.

Mr. Joe presented his presents in the shopping bags. Wow! A New GPS. I left enough hints about what I wanted and told him he asked me directly. I like Jewelry especially Amber but a GPS for the car would awesome.

It turns out that the Prospective -In-Law wanted to go to IHOP but the Prospective StepSonInLaw wouldn't take her. Now they have a Gift Certificate so he has to. Heh Heh Heh!

We used the New GPS to find our way to the Golden Corral in Charlottesville. We actually know the way but hey, lets watch the GPS do it's work. It actually talks, Turn Left, Turn Right, Redirectiong the Route. It's Awesome. The Golden Corral was closed but the Chinese Place was open.

Sushi for Christmas. Woo Hoo! I changed the direction to Victoria Secret's. No we are not going that way, Mr. Joe told the GPS so I gave it our home address.

Now, Mr. Joe will be using his Wal-Mart Gift Certicate to get his own GPS. It was be a Business End of the Year Tax Deduction. I will be using the Michael's Gift Certificate for Next Year's Business Tax Deductions. It will buy a lot of dreamcatchers. I am also extending my business to essential oil. The first one I am making is LUST OIL!

I also won TEN Dollars on the Georgia Lottery Ticket that my older sent.
