My husband is very supportive of all my crazy ideas and adventures. One bonus of signing up to do the triathlon is he had all kinds of new ideas for gifts for me. He gets stressed over the holidays which sort of puzzles me since here is the list of people he buys for:
1. Me!!
He claims that the reason he stresses is because once he comes up with a good gift idea he immediately has to come up with another because my birthday is in early Jan.
( Jan 4th to be exact if any or all of you want to send me a Happy Birthday greeting!)
On Dec. 26th the conversation goes something like this. “Oh no, your birthday is in 9 days…now what am I going to do, I am out of ideas” Geez excuse me for being born in Jan. By the way I have a special place in my heart for those born in Dec. and Jan..more on that in another xanax post.
In our family when you hit big with a gift we call it good gift giving technique…in other words you have put some thought and time into it.
I’m sure Paul thought he had used GGT on the following gift related to our upcoming triathlon.
Pay attention to the title. SLOW FAT TRIATHLETE!
Gee thanks sweetie, my heart is warm all over…NOT!
Fortunately knowing my husband we all got a good laugh. The added bonus is this is really GOOD book..its written with humor and really helped me get ready for my first triathlon. Jayne Williams is the real deal and tells it like is. She doesn’t gloss over any mistakes she has made , she shares them and moves on.
So while it was questionable GGT, I still use the book, still smile about it and think it ended up being a great gift.
More gift ideas for your triathlete in my next post!! Cheers, Jenn
