you?

:)

the 40-year-old Virgin. Funniest. Movie. Ever. :)

I haven't gotten anything yet. The presents are still under the tree and the smells wafting from the kitchen are making me ridiculously hungry. But none of the siblings are here yet. Grr.

Enjoy the anticipation! You will be well rewarded! :hug:

Merry Christmas, huskeriffic! :D

and the presents have now been opened. 7 kids under the age of 11. The flying paper was rather spectacular. ;)

Kept me up almost all night, and while I'm now on the road to recovery, but don't feel like eating and feel pretty beat-up, so I called off from my Dad's Christmas thing... they'll have other guests and family, and we'll just do our thing in a day or two. Good thing about being athiests/agnostics at Christmas -- unlimited flexibility.

On the upside, I'm saving my strength for a model shoot later tonight that should be great...

Put your recovery first, no doubt. :hug:

Best wishes with the shoot!

I got that on Christmas once, when staying with the family of some friends in Stuttgart. The Dad of the family had made a giant bucket of potato salad with beets in it... pink potato salad. It sat out too long because the bucket wouldn't fit in the refrigerator, and I was so sick. The Mom of the family wouldn't stop with the food, and was one of those moms who has *got* to feed you constantly, so I spent Christmas weekend puking a wide variety of interesting and novel German Christmas foods into the sink of the guest room.

It has a tail!

Almost as good as my original Iceland hat! :hug:

And a great picture of you too. Thanks. :thumbsup: :)

:evilgrin:

a new coffeemaker
a new cell phone
a winter jacket
tons of yarn for knitting
Simpsons 'Operation'
goose down pillows
egyptian cotton sheets and pillowcases
jewelry
candles galore
books
and a bunch of stuff i can't even remember :)

My mom pretty much bought me a new wardrobe of clothes, a beautiful new down comforter, a few books and a couple of other odds and ends. And I still have a bunch of stuff waiting for me back home in NJ.

Oh yeah I got an early Christmas present the other day. My mother and I were out shopping and she bought me 3 pairs of Doc Marten boots. Super on sale, I have enough boots to last me for the next 10 years!

and school photos of my daughters

Home Depot (yeah, I know, but hey, I need paint)
Starbucks (yeah, I know, but hey, I need java, and hey, I got TWO of them!)
Frango Mints (yeah, I know, but hey, butts are supposed to get bigger over the holidays)
Cookies (yeah, I know, but damn, they're homemade!)
Simpsons 2006 Calendar (yeah, I know, it's great!)
Arrested Development Season 2 (yeah, I know, it's the most under watched show on teevee)
Movie tickets (yeah, I know, what? I haven't seen a movie in months and so many to choose from!)
Slippers (yeah, I know, how traditional, but hey -- mine are ratty and these are so nice and soft)

So, I made a good haul. So did the dog.

I just posted this same thing. Anyway, a cd burner that I'm going to attempt to install myself, cd's and cases.
A winter shirt and a box of chocolates, and a southpark calendar.

My kids were broke this season. Just having them around and healthy, is a gift in itself.

wrong place!

And right back at the house tomorrow...I sure am happy to have posted Merry Christmas and see my dear friends are still around and met some new ones....Thanks for your great support and encouragement...and maybe you can post a picture of my house for me when I am done...I will send it to you. It will be awhile, there's everything to do and with my other jobs, including my mothering four min pins, my kids these days since Sarge is all grown up now.

My Christmas thread is my gift with the friends, and I am happy you are in it! I will check in from time to time on updates...and just to say hello more often.
ZombyW00f, A Very Happy Healthy New Year to You and Yours! :toast:

The Evangelion Platinum collection from mom and dad, some perfume and a scarf and stuff from relatives who have no idea what to get me, a lamp for my new room. A countdown clock to when Bush's 2nd term is over (if he's not impeached before that).

I still haven't gone home yet and seen my other grandparents and my friends and boyfriend yet.

Also a sound card for my computer and some chocolate. :)

you drill and screw a lot, then? :rofl:

Great gifts! Happy Holidays, Billy! Can't escape them. ;)

:D

Merry christmas Wesley. :toast:

Books, including an Indian cookbook, a list of Birds of the World (Sibley and Monroe!), Birds of Panama, Crows and Jays, Warblers of the Americas, four other books, the first two Harry Potter movies on DVD, slippers, tickets to the Peking Acrobats, a mouse for the laptop, uh.... I think that's about it.

A good haul! :D

Merry Christmas everyone! :bounce:

An iPod Nano from Heidi with 'Om mani padme hum' engraved.
A new stereo from my mom.
(It's all for worshipping Kylie Minogue! :woohoo: !)

A handmade wooden bowl from my brother in law. (He made it.)
Felt slippers and a book about mysteries from my sister.

'The Last Emperor' DVD from my nieces.

I'm thankful. Peace.

wrapped the presents yet! Maybe they are for next year...

And my mom put a scratch lotto ticket in my stocking, which resulted in me winning $100.

Oh, and junk food. A whoooole lot of junk food. :)

An electric blanket (now I can really keep the thermostat down at night). The cats will adore it. They get to sleep on it too!

A new down pillow, chocolate, a monopod for my cameras, slippersocks, a portable NOAA weather radio and a small portable fan from my mother to manage my hot flashes. (She's a kick!?)

My most treasured gift was running into people last night at church who said and did exactly the right thing. It's amazing how the right 2 or 3 words can change your perspective. I hope 2006 is as good as I hope it will be.

Next?

The Faery Oracle
A beautiful shawl
A gift certificate for Yoga classes
A handmade Mayan purse

My dad got me:

Seasons 1 and 2 of Titus.

Books:
Replacement copies of A Game of Thrones and Wisdom of the Fox to replace my worn-out ones.
Clausewitz's On War.

We're also going shopping for new shirts tomorrow.

And since the thread I posted it in sank pretty quick: Merry Christmas, guys and gals! (If you don't celebrate Christmas, insert the appropriate holiday. ;) )

Remote control...it's really cool

I think it was more for the spouse's benefit than mine. And a subwoofer for the radio. I only listen to about not more than 6 stations. (Maybe I was getting a 2x4 clue)

Santa paid attention to what I wanted. :D

You DID promise new pictures after Christmas. Hmm...

Santa did good, you lucky girl.

It's a gentleman's scarf and it matches my fedora. It's the first time she's sent me something that's actually to my taste and not something girly that she might like. That scarf is a Very Big Deal :-) thanks, mom!

The 30th Anniversary Edition of "Born To Run" I can't wait to see the concert DVD, from the Hammersmith Odeon in 1975. I'll get to watch it tonight, after dinner.

Oh yeah!

I also got the 4th season of 24 and a $100 Am Ex gift card.

From my sister and her husband: The basket of sin..

It's like a fruit basket with a little naughty..
--A six pack of tall-boys and a fifth of vodka
--A few packs of smokes
--Some dirty magazines
--A bottle of Astroglide
--Condoms


From the SO:
--Shoes
--Leatherman
--A new Digital Multimeter

But I am waiting on the xbox 360, all the stores are empty.

:bounce:

I haven't received a real honest-to-goodness big kid type of present in years!

I'm so excited!

Watch out for my parents and the way they drive if you're out on that new bike!

Don't say I didn't warn you. :)

Enjoy!

And I appreciate the warning about your parents! :hi:

I'm only going to ride it on the quiet side streets and trails. I'm a total wimp about riding a bike near cars; I freak out 'cuz I don't trust drivers!

M-O-N-E-Y! :D

you're becoming resistant to broad spectrum antibiotics

Next time it would have to be Cipro. ;)

three of the things that you goy, I also got. I got the Seinfeld episodes, 40 year old virgin, and a bottle of Jack. I also got an i-pod and a couple of Mediterranean cookbooks

I have that one! It is GREAT!

enjoy it!

RL

:) :woohoo:

A couple fantasy books, for one thing, including Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, which is like the best ever, and so I am very glad to own a copy of it. The other main haul was CDs.... I nabbed 7 (!) in total this year, 6 jazz (!!!) and one solo piano, but not really jazz related. Oh well. I got my fire; I got my 88s; s'all good.

Hope you all had good hauls this year, too.

:toast:

Ok, so it's a deferred gift, I have to wait until June.

My sister announced that she's pregnant. :bounce:
