OK today is officially the busiest shopping day ever, the Friday before
Christmas. So guys, if you love and appreciate your girls (mom
included) then think of something nice and deliver. Don't just promise
things like spa certificates or give them a 20 now and then, really
think about what they like and what would make them happy (besides some
quality time with you of course) and come through. Don't have to spend
alot, just know them well enough to appreciate them. It's Christmas
and it's a time for giving, your thoughts of them come through in what
you give. You know they deserve it! And I'll bet many of them have
given to you all through the year - done your biking laundry (phew) and
cleaned up after you in all ways. You know it too!
Stay tuned for whether I get to ride on Christmas; Christmas Eve is now
going to be a major cleaning day at my household as I may be getting
some company...my doggies may get more than a rawhide each and get some
playmates instead.
