Today's moral dilemma: A box shows up on my doorstep. It's not something I've ordered. Do I open it? Hmmmm... might be a Christmas present for me.

So, no, I shouldn't open it.

But... I'm no good at waiting.

And if I don't open it now, my husband will get home and HIDE the box. Then it will be a whole month before I see what's in the box.

So, yes, I should definitely open it.

Or no.

Or yes.

I glance at the invoice. Doesn't look like anything for me.

Ha, I'm safe. No dilemma.

So I open the box.

And guess what is in there?

NEW BOOTS! My husband has ordered me black lace up Harley Davidson boots!

OMG! And they fit. I LOVE 'em!

So... okay... now I've snuck into my Christmas present. Do I wrap them back up, pretend I didn't see them? Do I pretend I just didn't know, just opened the box up accidentally? Do I tell the truth--it was a BIG FREAKIN' BOX and I'm like a bad kid who can't wait?

Oh, delimmas, delimmas.

He said he's coming home early.

What should I do? Wrap them back up or leave them out?

Oh.....those are so cute.

Even if you do wrap them back up will you be able to pull off acting like you don't know? lol

LOL! He did good, didn't he?

I had decided to keep them out so I could wear them but put the box back (together with an old pair of boots for weight) and pretend innocence. I figured that as long as I took them off by 6pm (I never wear shoes in the house anyway) I could get away with fudging until Christmas.

But... he caught me in the act because he came home early.

oops.
