this year, my dad asked for a book like every year

my mom asked for a CD of my favorite/memorable/best pictures of the last 5 years, cuz she has been on the other side of the country until now and just recently came back into my life.

something sentimental is always good for a mom gift, and dad's seem to like things that have to do with a hobby of theirs, tools, books on sailing, etc.

dvds are always a good way to go if you cant really think of other stuff they may need.

i hit my parents up with a $25 gift card to Ponderosa steakhouse...

they dine a lot, its different from their routine, and its more meaningful than cash / nothing

two birds, one stone

i got my dad some board game that involves lasers. its sweet. something about moving mirrors to try and hit the opponents dude with a laser. the warning label that read 'danger. class II lasers and harmful laser radiation' is what caught my attention though. lasers, possible bodily damage....in a board game? fuck, i'm in.

it probably has something to do with said snow shoveling
and said bug wheel
which makes it so you don't have to lift the snow off the ground

its been a while since i've seen ski pimps line spaces typing
which he said helps to get a thought out of his head
and onto a new one

i remember that from a while ago.
i must love skipimp
i love skipimp.

damn, a shovels not really a bad idea. i only have 9 dollars though.
i bought my dad a shaving kit thing from walmart, i really didnt know what to get him.
he doesnt fish, ski, snowmobile, play hockey (anymore) he isnt into computers or video games or woodworking, golf. so ya he's kind of hard to shop for.
my mom i have no clue what to get her either. we usually get her plants but like, idk if she actually likes them..
