Where's my Colouring Book?

So, this colleague of mine got some cake (left-over) to the office today. It was her daughter's birthday yesterday. Well, I got the cake. Evening, when all of us, were collecting stuff to get packing to home, she started walking around the cabins, handing over gift-wrapped items to some of my colleagues. She came to the cabin right in front of mine, but skipped my cave. She had colouring books(return gifts even though nobody from office was invited at home). I did not get it coz I do not have kids. Home Running the Message? I am stating this incident as a matter-of-fact, not as a matter-of-hurt. I think she could have been a bit subtle about it. But what can be expected from a batch of uber-fertiles? ^WiseGuy^

Here are the instructions: 1) Look at the list and put an 'X' (and bold) after those you have read. 2) Add a '+' to the ones you LOVE. 3) Star/Asterisk (*) those you plan on reading. 4) Put a # (and italics) by those you've started but not finished. 5) Tally your total at the bottom. The first thing to do with the rules is to mess them around. So rather than putting different pug marks, I chose to colour code my reads. Red is for books that I have read. Green is for books I began but never finished. And blue is for books I want to read. What can I say? I am a colourful person… 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen [Enjoyed the book and the different adaptations of it into TV Series and Movies. Least favourite adaptation: Gurinder Chaddha’s Version ] 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4 Harry Potter ...
