Nancy the whiner...

So for months and months Nancy has been whining about the fact that she wanted an ipod but couldn't afford one. Everyone she knows has one, shoot some people have two and even my nephew has a shuffle. So since I didn't get her a birthday present and she gifted me with my bookcases for my birthday (as you can see, I'm not great on the birthday presents, LOL) and I'm now employed I decided to get her a nano for Xmas. I know, one for my brother, one for Nancy, am I made of money? Hell no! I shopped on Apple's website and bought refurbished ipods. I wish I would have known they sold refurbished macs before I bought my new laptop, d'oh! Anyway, I thought for some reason when Nancy received her pkg she would know right away what it was since I was ordering off of the Apple website but apparently it wasn't marked as such.

I had given her the opportunity to open it early but she wanted to wait until I got my gift from her. Something to motivate her to mail it (not one of her strong suits). Everyday she would ask if I had received my gift, and everyday I would tell her no. On the day she thought for sure it would be there she actually brought her gift to work (it was taunting her at home) so she could open it there. My pkg did come in that day. Of course I had to taunt her but she called almost as soon as I emailed her. The funny thing is she didn't get my email. I made her wait as I talked a little bit and then I made her wait while I opened my present (a waterproof speaker for my nano). Since she knows I am not much of a swimmer this was surprising but she wanted something for US to use while on vacation, LOL.

Finally I let her open her present and she was extremely surprised and happy with her gift. Now here comes the funny part. A couple of days later I asked her if she had told her parents what I got for her and she said no. I told her I bet they got you an ipod, remember the whining, LOL. So Xmas eve I told her to tell her mom what I got her and watch her reaction but Nancy decided to play it safe and not tell her. Too bad her mom decided to ask, LOL. Because I had planted the seed she watched her mom's face and there was a flicker. So the next morning Nancy opens her present and her mom is like, it's not as cool but her mom had gotten her an 8 gig RED nano. Way cooler then the black 4 gig I got her, LOL. All of a sudden Nancy the whiner goes from no ipods to two! But it works out in my favor because MY nano is 1 gig so I'm taking the one I bought for Nancy and giving her my old one (it's only a few months old) so she can sell it to her brother and buy herself a new present, it's a win win situation for both of us.

And how does Nancy repay me? Well I sent her parents a Xmas card and they commented on the fact that it looked like I had lost a lot of weight quickly and they were worried. Dang, I love them, LOL. So what does Nancy do? She proceeds to argue with them and tell them the secrets behind my self portraits! So what if it takes 30 pictures to get one where my face looks thin, LOL. She showed off the chin tilt and everything, although her dad did point out my chin was pointed down, not up, ha ha! That girl had to go and burst my skinny bubble damn her! I'll have to put some serious thought into what I'm getting her next year, or not!
