Nope and Nope.

So, did you go anywhere?

Nope.

Did, you do anything?

Nope.

...

I'm driving Lady G to a convention center which is where a birthday party is being held for someone turning thirty. The invite is a professional job, mailed in an envelope that is the Tiffany's blue. The invite states that it is for the bearer only and not for the bearer and the bearer's guest. It's a solo affair.

A discussion starts about including Tiffany's as a place to register your birthday gifts. Included in the invite was a smallish piece of paper (crudely cut with scissors) that informed the reader that the birthday girl was registered at Tiffany's, Crate and Barrel, and Bed Bath and Beyond.

I said Tiffany's has some reasonably priced items, some stuff around a hundred bucks. I think that a normal birthday gift shouldn't be more than a hundred but this one seemed like they were trying to make it extra special.

Lady G tells me one hundred dollars is too much for a birthday gift. She says, with a smile, it's okay to buy her items that expensive but not other people. She asked "Would you buy your friend in the office a gift for that much?"

I asked "Which friend?"

To which she got a serious-like attitude and said "The fat one" then shut the door to the truck and walked away.

Well no, not the fat one ...but the other one, maybe.
