Presents!

Hey, just finished opening presents! I got all great stuff, but my two favorites were: tarot of marseille reproductions , and a card saying "$25 have been donated to the animal care society in your name." Isn't that the best thing to give?

So, what did you people get?

Those are great presents, Wesley, especially the donation. I'm glad to hear you got your tarot cards. Now you have to practice this week, so that you can tell everybody's fortunes New Year's Eve!
I got a black fleece jacket from my husband, which I wasn't expecting, since he'd already gotten me some software I'd wanted, "Madagascar" from our nephew (in English, no less), a bird drawing from our niece, and money for new sheer curtains from my in-laws.

I got 90 euros from my parents
and a few days ago i went to Douglas and bought my self a make up bag and made them wrap it for me

Hey, those are cool too!

Yeah, i already "told" my dad and sister using the little booklet. Now i just have to memorize them all.....

Now it is off to the christmas party with me, to see my annoying cousins....

We had Christmas Eve last night with my family (they asked where my boyfriend was, way to go on informing the family, Mom...insert moment of awkward silence) and today I'm alone I was offered to come to my mom's fiance's house today but I never felt comfortable there, plus I have a cold so I declined. I'm spending Christmas Day with my fur family. My parents and brother and I always spend a special day with just each other, no other family, and with our schedules, it will be next Friday, which is cool because I get to take advantage of the sales tomorrow, since I'm off! So far, I got the Sex and the City trivia game, (anyone wanna come play?) some earrings, some vanilla scented "no flame but they light up" candles from my grandma (she was thinking of the cats there, awww) some coffee and a jazz CD. I don't like jazz but my aunt does and she gave one to everyone, trying to get us to like it. I was in such a bad mood because I burned my soup and wasn't bringing my boyfriend so my mom gave me one of my gifts early: Larry the Cable Guy's Christmas CD, which made me laugh! We didn't exchange gifts this year, we are all broke!

Jeff and I must have been really good this year because Santa brought us lots of goodies!

We got clothes, socks, a set of binoculars, a portable CD player, colgne, a crock pot (looking foward to homemade chili) , a spice rack, candy, bath stuff and the list goes on and on!!

I got a very surprise gift from my husband (oh thats wierd to say) a SceneIt! DVD game that I wanted. Had it shipped in when I wasn't home and wrapped it right up! We normally dont wrap stuff for eachother just buy things throughout the year and this REALLY surprised me!

Oh, I have that game, it is SOOO fun!!!!

Some of my favorite things that I received - 4 pieces of all clad, a Waring Pro Professional Model deep fryer, new 12 inch Kitchen Aid non-stick pan, a gift certificate to my favorite clothing store, Chanel #5 , my first Santoku style knives, some anime, the sound track from Haibane-Renmei - Hanenone, the complete boxed set of The Chronicles of Narnia, ah....a Megatokyo throw - "Sad Girls in Snow"...

Much to be thankful for this Christmas, Patrick actually snuggled with me last night, and did "knuckle bones"...where he rubs his eyes, nose and cheeks all over my hand Something he doesn't do when not feeling well.

I have been incredibly spoiled this year.

ok - you recall the thread about the worst gifts you've recieved? My best beloved bought me two pairs of men's thermal underwear!! it's the thought that counts (I'm in them now, so at least I'm not freezing!!)

10 speed blender, and a food processor, a new hat and wrap for winter and new boots for the barn-

We did our major gifts early, in that we each had birthdays recently and did a major electronic "toy" (Rob got a new cellphone, and I got a new PDA) that counted partly for Christmas. But we still put some stuff under the tree: I got some really nice kitchen utensils and CDs, and Jr gave us a couple of special occasion bottles -- he does nice things for our wine rack most years and Santa brought chocolates and other goodies. All in all, very satisfactory.

New pj's and an air popcorn popper.

I got kitty socks, a salt scrub bar, kitty calender, silver hoop earrings and chocolate from a friend.

Another friend sent me an Amazon.com gift certificate (my new books have already been shipped).

The twins gave me some handmade Tahitian Ginger soap.

I went to Sam's parents' house and had homemade tamales. (I'm an honorary Mexican).

I had an okay time at the home of the cousins. It wasn't too bad. But the best part was i told a bunch of people's fortunes with the new cards, and i got a lot of it right!

Cool, now tell me mine...

Okay Shannon, you discuss or negotiate your point of view for some time before giving up. You adapt well, but should be in for a pleasant change anyway. You act like others, and are competitive in some way.

It would be much easier if i met you, but i did my best. Was i anywhere near?

I dunno, that's kinda confusing!
