Well, I chose my person to 'pay it forward' to. I bought them a couple of nice things (I think). I looked through many a wish list today and I found out a couple of things.
1) I truly wish that I had more money to spend on you folks. So many of you have such great things on your wishlists that I wanted to buy for you.
2) I don't know when I've had a better time than looking at your wishlists with the sole intention of buying something for someone I hardly know. It made me giddy. (Don't tell anyone that I used the word giddy please).
3) I was only able to buy something for one person. Maybe. I'm going to keep checking things out and may end up sending one more person a gift or two.
4) I'm getting all giddy again just thinking about it. (Please see #2 regarding the use of the word giddy)
5) If you receive something from me and have a few bucks to spare, please pay it forward and buy a little sumpthin sumpthin for someone that inspires, excites, entertains or otherwise floats your boat. Believe me, you will feel fantastic doing it. I know I did.
That's it for tonight. Peace out, my friends.
And, as always, I love you.

Yup :>
Gift giving is one of my favorite things. The only thing is that I really like to hear/see the person enjoy the gift, but even when I can't, I just enjoy the giving!
Sometimes it's also worthwhile to say "Hey, thanks for being around" just 'cause :>

If someone wants to PayItForward.... they don't have to wait for you to send them a little sumpthin' sumpthin' do they?

I feel vindicated now for using the word gorgeous once in conversation. You really learn who your friends are when you use that word!
