    I’m sure that using the blog for personal reasons is highly unethical if not illegal.
    However, you can pick anything you want from the following stores…

    http://www.basspro.com

    or

    http://www.cabelas.com

    You got up at 6:30am to ask for that hideous garden trash? My 5-year-old could make something better than that.

    Spawn - go to school!

  • Amanda

    I gneed a gnome.

  • Nate

    This should be on her wish list:

    Wow. Family bickering. We’ve never had that before on our blog. I love it. I have to say Amanda, I don’t see much difference between a gift that would come from basspro and that garden gnome.

  • Amanda

    Bickering? We were just warming up…

    Ouch, Rebecca…

  • Carrie

    I concur, Rebecca. Bass Pro, Cabela’s, yard art… it’s all the same.
    You’re the scourge of the neighborhood, Amanda.

  • JT

    Fine.
    I see this as our only alternative…

    A)today is a horrible day to go to school
    B)which garden gnome is appropriate? The Solar powered mystical gnome?

  • Amanda

    I just want a tasteful friendly garden gnome…not solar, dearest Spawn.

    If loving gnomes is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

  • Rebecca Sherman

    Amanda
    There’s no such thing as a tasteful garden gnome.

  • JT

    Notice that Rebecca did NOT say that the Aquarium Toilet was un-tasteful.
    Therefore I have ordered one…sorry to spoil Mother’s Day and all, but you (www.amandatackett.com) started it.
    P.S. now that I have “blogged” about it can we write it off????
    P.S.S. Let’s blog about a new car next.

  • Rebecca Sherman

    The aquarium toilet is so hideous as to be beautiful, in its belle-laid way.The garden gnome, well, even Philippe Starck could not elevate…

  • Amanda

    Speaking of the aquarium toilet…does anyone remember those clear lucite wedge shoes that had live goldfish in them? I remember seeing a woman in Northpark wearing a pair when I was maybe 7 years old. My whole goal in life up to that point had been to meet Kermit the Frog, but after seeing those shoes, I wanted a pair. Later, I heard that the fish would get beaten to death if the wearer was dancing or walking a lot. I tell this tale of woe as a cautionary tale to my beloved Trophy Husband…aquariums, toilets, and shoes need to stay separate. And, if an aquarium toilet shows up in the dream house, I will sic PETA on you.

  • JT

    PETA doesnt scare me…
    I know the Barbi Twins, personally.

    Hate to say it but gnomes freak me out–but the aquarium toilet would be a lovely addition to the downstairs 1/2 bath–nice pick Trophy Husband (but please do not advice my husband re: Mother’s day gifts–I am hoping to receive the DG sunglasses and I am afraid he would think the aquarium toilet a better investment–since he would say I would end up sitting on both.

  • The Spawn

    Hey mom, can i borrow 20 dollars to buy your mother’s day gift?

  • Tallbirdmace

    Ahhhhhh… a friend to commune with your flowers and bees. Does he need a door? They come in several colours you know, and they are on SALE, it would almost be rude not to!
