we are rarely in the same frame

We went shopping Wednesday. Me for a housewarming gift (#3 this year!) and him for a pasta maker (to make a "congrats on spawning!" dinner he's throwing for friends this weekend). At the advice of a kind salesperson he ended up getting just a rolling pin to try rolling his own first and then maybe coming back to get the expensive machine. I had to talk him out of choosing the French rolling pin (the more expensive and bigger item, wonder why he liked it? *insert me rolling my eyes*) and instead opt for the regular one.

In the next few weeks we have the aforementioned housewarming party and dinner party and also a graduation/going away/congrats on your registered partnership party. What exactly does one get as a gift for that last one? I doubt they need more stuff to lug across the country, and a gift card would be fine but boring. I don't know, I really don't know. Meanwhile I'm frustrated that I'm so frustrated with all these parties. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for all of these people. And while I rationally know that there is enough happiness to go around, I can't help but feel like everyone else is hogging it. Where is mine? Where is it, damn it??? hahaha

But seriously. I don't even want to buy a house (ever) or have a baby (maybe eventually). I just want something to celebrate.
