The struggles of gifts

Quick update, hubby’s going to live – doc said his lungs looked much better. We get results back tomorrow, follow up on Thursday and another CT scan in 6 weeks but he was back to being annoyingly ridiculous yesterday so I deem him back to normal!
My brother got married Friday. His fiance’s birthday was last Tuesday. Then there’s Christmas. It’s a lot of gift-giving in a short amount of time but that’s okay. I’m up for the challenge.
I already said earlier I’m giving her address labels for her birthday. Now it’s time for Christmas.
My original gift was a Newlywed Cookbook (hey, my brother said she was on a cookbook kick right now)

And a cookbook stand (Amazon) $14.99


But turns out, great minds think alike and my mom already got her a cookbook stand :P (I guess we know where I got my gift giving abilities from?)
Plan B.
On to Bed Bath and Beyond!!
They had registered for white square dishes at Crate & Barrel. Problem is, there is no Crate & Barrel around here. Luckily, I found this pretty little serving set that I think will match their dishes.

Price tag is $34.99 but we know Bed Bath and Beyond always have super coupons, right? Put that with the gift card I redeemed from my credit card points and total cost to me = $0.00.
Oh, and if anyone is wondering…that Flashback Atari set? A total hit. One of my brother’s college friends was also up when we were doing Christmas and I got the high-five from him and the “How is this humanly possible?” from my brother. To put it into perspective, it beat out the bike Santa gave him when he was 5 years old. Take that, Santa J

Quick personal note.

Quick update...

I know I don't do personal things on this blog, but hubby is having some major health issues right now. They're doing a lung biopsy on him tomorrow morning so keep him in your thoughts and go easy on me if it takes me awhile to update this thing again. After his biopsy tomorrow I (and him if he gets his way) are headed to NC for my brother's wedding then final papers and projects are due next week along with hubby's test results from the bloodwork and biopsy. So...I'll be back when I can!
