We all know that I’m a pretty cheap frugal person.  It would take a lot to get me to spend a f*ckton of money on designer anything (have you seen my car?).  When I lived in LA, I loved buying knock-off stuff for like $15.  I really can’t imagine spending crazy money on something that will be out of style in like 15 minutes.  Oh and I was in law school and really poor (poorer than I am now, if you can believe that).

I’m pretty sure you’ve realized that G really likes his designer EVERYTHING.  I remember when we first started dating he bought this blue long sleeve t-shirt thing I could swear I’d seen a million times at like Old Navy or Target.  It was $60 and Calvin Klein or something else ridiculous.  Seriously.

Anyway, all this nonsense leads me to tell you about the standards for our little creatures.  When G and I got married, we got some great gifts.  Two of my favs (besides this) were from these fine gentlemen:

My dad and his partner, Jon.  I don’t know why I’m making that face…probably because we’d just taken some pics like this:

Sorry, those were inappropriate pictures to post.  Oh wait, I’ve posted pics of Playboy…nevermind.

Okay so I got a few cool gifts from them, but there are a couple that I still find a bit amusing today.

Take a look at these:

These are dog and cat dishes.

I think they’re pretty cute!  And Jack and Bing (and our old cat, Sunny) LOVE them.  But here’s the best part:

They are f*cking Kate Spade!  Most of the time I don’t even use a dish when I eat and my creatures eat out of Kate Spade’s pet china!

Nothing but the best….

THANKS DAD AND JON!!!
