[frenchiemama]

enclosed was a $40 gift card to the Olive Garden. *sigh*

Oh well, maybe my husband can take his mom out to lunch or something.

You could always "regift" to a friend

[frenchiemama]

Oh, someone will be able to use it. I know that they have a couple of gluten-free items, but a) ew, I don't like my choices and I don't trust them.

Interesting, that smiley face was supposed to be a 'b' with a close parenthesis ')'. Whatever.

Yeah, they do. I've tried and I found the choices to be very bland and uninteresting. Plus, I was not impressed by the competency of their staff (I really, really hate it when I explain my needs to the waitress and she says "Oh. Ok, well would you like to start off with some breadsticks?")

I know how you feel ... my sister gave me a gift card to Buca di Beppo for Christmas, the card had a picture of a plate of spaghetti on it ... at least your realtor had her thoughts in the right place! I know there's stuff at Buca, but it's the trust thing ... too many crumbs in the kitchen! Sounds like a good Christmas/birthday/anniversary gift for someone! I'd say to re-gift, then you at least get some kind of benefit from it! You can spend the $40 you would have spent on the gift on yourself!

[frenchiemama]

Yes, it was nice of her to send it. I actually do appreciate the thought, I just wish it were a different restaurant. Oh well. Hey, maybe we can use it to bribe our friends into helping us move.

Hey there's an idea. Nothing wrong with a little bribery. It was a nice thing for her to do but I much preferred what our realator did when we bought my house. She gave us a pen and watercolor painting of the house done by a local artist.

Bummer I know, it reminds of you of all that beautiful gluten food, but, thought that matters
