Ways to disclose yourself as Secret Santa....
Send an email to the office letting them know that there's some treats in the lunchroom (leftovers from a party at Liz's house and she asked me to let the office know about them). Your Santa Victim sees you and says, "Oh, hey! Thanks!" You immediately respond with, "For what?" and try looking innocent. S/he replies dubiously, "Er, for the treats?"
Doh.
More Evil in the House of the Sheepsters. In the form of expansion packs for The Sims.
For Christmas, I'd bought Rob a copy of Livin' Large. One night he and I were in the mall and he sees it on the shelf and lunges for it and I shriek, "You can't have it because...er...er...." and he laughed at me, so I tried to pretend I'd really gotten him Hot Date, but of course I hadn't. Rob's really good at figuring things out from shards of clues and figured which one I'd bought which sort of takes the fun out of entirely. Friday night, however, we were in another store when he saw the EQ expansion and rushed to get it, so I handily tossed in Hot Date as he's paying for stuff. "Oh, so do I get my copy of Livin' Large when we get home?" he smirked.
He did.
Hot Date is fascinating. I need to get him a copy of it so that I can borrow his Livin Large. The other night we were both playing and I whined when I saw all the cool new items he could buy that weren't available in Hot Date. He wants Hot Date because he thinks it's cheating to play the other neighbors just to make some friends and so wants to go downtown to meet people. Unfortunately we can't just swap CD's. Once you install Hot Date (or so the package says) you must always play using the Hot Date CD. Therefore, he cannot use mine. Therefore, I must get him one of his own.
The drawback in Hot Date is that while you get new neighborhoods to build in, they don't connect to the same downtown so that your new neighborhood guys can meet any of the folks from the old neighborhood. Yeah, yeah...this is all mindless drivel unless you too have been sucked into the Sims void. :(
We went to Liz's party Saturday (from whence the leftovers came) and had a nice time. It was a wine tasting and we'd forgotten our bottle of wine in the fridge. Rob noticed a 7-11 on the way to Liz's and wondered if we should stop to get something with a screw-top. At the party, I say something like, "Rob and I think corks are so pretentious." ;) This morning Liz tells me her dad distinctly remembered Rob telling him that he had played football in college. I blinked at her. "Well, Rob didn't say two words to your dad and he didn't play football anywhere." Then we started giggling, trying to think who else in the party her dad had mistaken for Rob. It's not like there were other tall dark and sheepish men there!
