Besides the honey I started a thread about (it is just that good!) I got cash and gift cards.
Now I have some money. The killing can begin...
Eat and live well roaches, your days are numbered, muahaaaaahaaa, MUAHAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!


ETA: For those not familiar with me, I mean actual roaches of the bug variety, not some strange code for I am going up on a clock tower later. Just wanted to make that clear!

That's awesome! As I was reading the first few posts in the "sad Christmas thread" I thought to myself - "all these Texas people without family around should hook up for Christmas"...apparently I was not the only one with that thought!

My boyfriend got me an 88 key keyboard and the keys feel like piano keys! I'm going to teach myself to play.

I also got a new umbrella that looks like a Tiffany lamp shade (it has dragonflies on it and is uber cool), slipper socks, a silpat for making cookies, a buisiness card holder, a insulated thermos, a sewing kit, and some cash from my mom.

The best part was spending time with my family

My parents didn't want to do Xmas this year gift-wise, they wanted to use the money for bills & told us to do likewise. I did give them some pictures I took of Chassis and Caliper with my new DSLR though. The DSLR was my early Xmas gift from Rob back at the end of October.

I bought a pair of cute, warm fuzzy boots for myself on Xmas eve. Hubby got me a mug I really wanted that had 5 black cats and said "Everything tastes better with cat hair" and a 365 Days of Cat Naps calendar. The kitties got me two Chicken Soup for Cat Lovers books and a book mark with a tabby charm on it. MIL and FIL gave us a shopping spree at Sam's Club for house stuff we need. Also a stocking with Ferrero Rocher chocolate, an entire case (36) of Kit Kats, two bottles of TGI Fridays strawberry daquiri mix, an angel pin, and a book called "Cats Letters to Santa". The BIL & future SIL got me a bottle of Cruzan banana rum. Cousin-in-law gave me a travel mug that said "Coffee and Cat Hair" on the front and "I never leave home without them" on the back.

I gave Rob a 1.75L bottle of Sailor Jerry rum from the cats, a 365 Days of What Your Poo Is Telling You calendar
. Cant remember the other stuff he got from other family members though. In October when we gave each other early Xmas gifts, I bought him two Ingersoll Rand air tools for work.

We bought his mom a sun decoration with a lighthouse in the center because she's from Maine. We got his cousin a pink South Carolina hoodie since she wanted a pullover hoodie like crazy. Got his brother a magnet pickup tool, and he gave him a bunch of his tools he doesn't use at work anymore. We got his dad a pick up tool also and a new set of drill bits because we broke most of them when we installed my pole in April. Got future SIL a mug to go with the frappacino machine the MIL bought her, and gave her a thing of Jelly Bellys.

Fur babies got a new cat tree since Hoshi monopolizes the one in our room whether he wants to be in it or not. They got cat nip puffs, cat grass that I'm growing, a catnip pouch toy, a tweeter feather ball, loads of Whisker Lickin's cat treats, and a self-cleaning brush they absolutely love.

It was a wonderful Xmas
We had enough food to feed 50 people so there'll be leftovers for a week.

Beside the wonderful gifts I got from my SS (Packers' t-shirt, kitty horoscope book, yummy mint chocolates, cucumber/melon lotion, & a melon candle), I also got a Packers' combination clock/thermometer from a good friend of mine, and a candle, socks, & fragrance diffuser from our next-door neighbors. My s/o got a webcam for me
, and handed me the money to get a ruby ring I've been drooling over for the last six months which I've had on my "wishlist" at JTV:

I waited till after Christmas to purchase it, because I knew it would go on sale - plus I had a 20% discount coupon to use that I've been hanging on to, so I got a really good deal on the ring.

But the best gift of all was my son telling me that they'll be coming to visit in March!!

Lots of goodies.

A coat, two pairs of jeans, some jewelry, a shirt, a book, a throw, a hand mixer, a wok, a great cookbook, some perfum, some makeup, a sweater, and the Ultimate Version of Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. And lots and lots of homemade cookies/breads.
