It's that time again!  Time to ask the girls to start making up their Christmas Lists.  The hardest part of shopping is figuring out what they want or like.  So a few years ago I started asking for lists.  It was so much easier when they were little to go to Toys R Us and fill up the cart with all the toys they saw advertised on Saturday morning cartoons.  Now, it's like pulling teeth to get a list from them.  Up until last year, even with their lists, I was able to surprise them with a really nice present they didn't expect.  But, I'm afraid those days are gone.  The well of ideas has run dry.  Sigh.  
So what do I get two girls, 21 and 24, who have everything AND if they are missing something, they have the money to get it?  Even if I ask them right now what do you want, they answer "I don't know."  Not very helpful at all.  
So this year, since our phone plan is up, I have decided on Smart Phones for the girls, whatever they are!  My older daughter says the words "smart phone" at least once a day.  That must mean something.  So far I have gathered that with these phones you can access the internet and email and also use it as a GPS.  These phones are probably too smart for my husband and I to own.  We just want phones that ring when a call comes in or goes to voice mail should we have them off.  Of course, if they ever invent a phone that is smart enough to do laundry or cook, then I'm sold!  
New Smart Phones for Christmas will not be a surprise though.  I willI to go to AT&T with them, one day soon, so they can decide which phone is the smartest!  I don't want to surprise them Christmas morning with "dumb" phones, and ruin the holiday.  Meanwhile, my husband and I will settle for the best "Flintstone" model they have available this year.  
It's 11/19 and I still have not gotten their Christmas Lists! I am hoping to get them tonight, I laid down the law last night for the tenth time! Wish me luck!
