I have a problem. Well, I’m sure I have plenty, as we all do, but the particular problem I’m addressing today is the fact that I suck at buying wedding presents. Not that I don’t know what to get people. Hell, with registries and whatnot, it’s really a no-brainer. My problem is actually purchasing the present. Yes, yes, I realize that etiquette dictates that you have a year, but let’s just say that I have missed that deadline more than once. Many more times than once. So many times, in fact, that I am firmly convinced that if I ever do actually get married, I will probably get no presents at all (I hope that doesn’t discourage any potential suitors). The good news is that, with the exception of a KitchenAid mixer (which I don’t really have room for at the moment anyway), I pretty much have all the major kitchen stuff I need. And for those of you I still owe presents — you may still get them one of these days, and it’ll be sort of a fun surprise/anniversary present. I will note for the record that I did actually buy a present for the last wedding I went to, but I’ll admit that it’s because I joined forces with my family, who is much more on top of these things than I am.
What’s your dirty little secret?

wait till it’s your kid’s birthday and you have to decide how long to wait until you can give all the presents she gets to the School Christmas Fair. Now that’s awkward. Love your blog.
