So, where is it Nancy???

Nancy, it says here you were supposed to give me diamonds this year!  So where are my diamonds??  Plus,  you know that "seven year itch" thingy?  Well, I'd be pissed too if my DH gave me a flippin' pencil set!  NO MORE MARRIAGE FOR YOU!

But seriously, who follows this lame-o list anyway?  I think Mr. D would be mad (understatement) if I spent thousands on a new diamond encrusted Rolex for him to sport at the office.  However, I'd be tickled Tiffany Blue if I got a diamond encrusted tennis bracelet!!!!  End scene.
