(to name just one not-cheap present we didn't particularly want but that made us feel guilty anyway.) i hate that we feel guilty for giving gifts that required more time and work and thought on our parts than the random mall-crap otherwise exchanged. bah. /comment-jacking bitchery<br /><br />the kitchen set is really lovely, by the way.Bionic Baby Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14308646591208692676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36650952.post-53244905045343321652011-06-04T22:33:39.004-04:002011-06-04T22:33:39.004-04:00Bunny: yes, the consequence of quitting my job is:...Bunny: yes, the consequence of quitting my job is: now with more POVERTY.

Very Maria von Trapp! You do very nice work. It's unfortunate, though, that you get to be tired of it AND feel guilty. If you can dispense with the latter, by all means!
