christmas is cancelled.

   {not really, but i feel like being dramatic right now. 

even though i am really not that mad i kinda am but i am over it. sort of

oh and michael says that on the office when carol breaks up with him}

so a couple of weeks ago, i went out of my usual bubble and exceeded even my

own expectations. i went christmas shopping. early. as in not on christmas eve.

i was so excited because i had gotten sean something that i knew he was not expecting.

sean used to have a pass to a certain well known popular gym. rhymes with.... bolds. anyway, it expired shortly before we got married. well sean has been complaining a lot lately about his gut. i think it

is fine, but he is kinda the girl in this relationship, and really wants to get in shape.

so i went in to this gym and was like,

"here is the deal, i want a gym pass for sean. i don't want to pay more than

this much." they were like,

"well are you interested in getting a pass too? we offer great deals for couples."

and i was like,

"hahaha, that is really funny. but um, no. i bought one before and i used it like 6 times.

in 2 years. that is like $100 for every time that i went. and i was only there for like 10 minutes each time. biggest waste of money i ever spent. well i will be honest, i pretty much

 just bought it with my sister so that we

could get the keychain and at least "look" like we work out. i paid big bucks for that.

i think it worked though.. i would flash those babies anytime i wanted to look like a

person who worked out. i am sure after further investigation, it would appear

that i never actually used the pass..but that is besides my point. so yeah. wait. maybe

it is my point. i will never use it."

so they were like "okay, well we can offer you this deal.....blah blah"

and i was like "alright, sounds good. so i want this to be a surprise. do you understand?

it is a christmas surprise."

the lady says,

"oh yes! of course! we will not have any contact with him until after

christmas. usually we have a trainer call to set up an orientation, but i will make sure

that they wait until after the 25th."

me:

"perfect. this is awesome. he is going to be so surprised."

WRONG.

today we came home from work and there was a letter in our mailbox.

and it was from this gym. addressed to Sean.

and it said "Congratulations on your new membership!"

well look at that.

i was so angry, and i got all pouty and sean wasn't even sure what was going

on and i totally threw the letter and threw a fit and went and laid on the bed

and said "christmas is cancelled! it is over."

then i thought sean was just trying to pretend that he didn't know what it was..

which i later found out, he really didn't know what it was..

so i was like "Merry Effin Christmas."

and i gave him the gym pass.

then i felt bad for saying that.

but then i cursed the gym and vowed to never

ever, ever, go christmas shopping early. ever again.

because if i had waited til the last minute?

this never would have happened.

christmas would not be ruined.

and i would have saved money because

i would have just got sean that gun he wanted

and not the un-refundable gym pass.

also, i vow never to go to a gym again.

they ruined christmas.

and that is not cool. not cool at all.

sean says, "you should go in and tell them. maybe they will offer you a free pass."

oh yeah sean. good one. what the heck am i going to do with a gym pass?

* oh, and then i went to the mall because i was so depressed and spent way too much money

but did get some cute stuff so it made me feel better but then i felt like a total scrooge

because i was buying stuff for myself but then i remembered that it is the gym's fault. not mine.

i felt much better after. and all is well.
