Christmas Goodies

Events, ,

In which I tell you what I got for Xmas!

Christmas day was fun. I slept in, which is always awesome. Then I vacuumed the living room, helped G’ma with food preparation, set up the card table and found chairs. Around 1:30 the family showed up.

Presents!

We ate, opened gifts, and then had dessert. It was a lovely afternoon.

Behold the awesome goods I received:

  • a cute hand-crocheted hat
  • a wallet
  • a Dalek cell phone charm!
  • a gift certificate for a cut & color with my stylist
  • a towel and some bath soak
  • an Amazon gift certificate
  • $15 cash
  • a bag of food: pasta, brownie mix, candy, and more
  • a salad cook book
  • a gift bag with pens, oranges and cookies

A pretty awesome haul, methinks! Apparently there will be more when we see the rest of the family; G’ma said my aunt Sue has her gift for me, and my cousins and other aunt & uncle will probably show up at some point for belated gift exchanges. The damn weather kept half the family from coming to Walla Walla, so we still have a big pile of unopened gifts for them under the tree.

Which means we get to have Christmas AGAIN later! Yay!

How’d you all make out? Anybody get anything really wonderful?

Update: Also got a bitchin’ solar system poster from ThinkGeek!

Belated B-Day Goodness

Wishlists, ,

In which there’s a box in my box!

Yesterday on my lunch break I went to the post office to check my post office box, and there was a ticket that said, ‘Parcel too large for box.’

Yay!

I stood in line and the hawt red-headed postal guy took the ticket and in return gave me a box from Amazon.com. I came back to the office and busted into the package, and it was this:

Diamond Dogs

Diamond Dogs! Bowie! From Southern Expressions, who is SUPERIOR IN ALL WAYS! (Well, except for the way in which he lives somewhere warm so there’s no need for me to knit him a hat. I’ve been trying to think of something to knit him for a couple of years, but knit things and warm climates don’t really go together.)

Thank you, Brad! *smooch*
