It's that time of year again we search high and low for the perfect gift for everyone who know. While some of us are lucky enough to find that hidden gem of perfection for at least one of our family members most often we end up settling on a gift that is little more than a shiny trinket that will be put away in a drawer "for safe keeping" or re-gifted next year. So when I was asked for a list of what I wanted this Christmas I said "I need floor mats for my car."
Today I gave that question a little more thought. I'm single now after 8 years of marriage and 2 years of a divorce. Everything I own fits into my 2003 Honda Civic, a fact I have become very proud of, and I am living with my sister and her boyfriend. I bought myself a new coat and sweaters after Thanksgiving, it's much colder in Indianapolis than North Carolina, so as far as those things go I think I'm set.
A job would be a great Christmas present but are to buy. So this Christmas all I want is a Pap Smear : ) Sounds a little silly and really who would consider that a good present? Well, when you're recently divorced, unemployed and without health insurance you think in more practical terms. And what could be more practical than that!
