Bong-Man Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 There might be a mutual appreciation if you show her your 'LARK' !!!! I'd have to give her the telescope. She'd never find that little guy with her naked eye ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterwitch Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I got a couple of turtlenecks from my sister... which I wanted... except they were colors I already have... so I exchanged them for different colors tonight. I got a toaster oven... from my sister... and my friends just gave me one like a week ago... so she's taking it back for the cash. I got a pretty ring... from my sister... which is identical to one I already had except a different size... so I kept it because I have more options for which finger to wear it on now. I got a counter-top paper towel holder from my sister... which was put to use immediately. I got an awesome mixed CD from my brother... which I haven't had a chance to listen to yet, but I already know I love everything on it (it's all old blues and soul). I got a scented oil reed diffuser from my sister... which I haven't put to use yet but will soon because the 2nd bedroom of my new apartment still reeks of cat urine from the stupid former tenant. I think that covers it, really... I can't think of anything else. I still have the birthday celebration comin' up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoso13zeppelin Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I also got a used beach bag from my incredibly insincere aunt. She always sends me stuff her kids didn't want. She once sent me a box that was locked. With no key. Like I wouldn't ever figure that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockthing Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Various members of my family still send me stuff. They can't break the habit. I don't mind. Very happy about this: My aunt hit the jackpot with this and a $50 itunes gift card! I still don't have an itunes account, though. I'm nervous about them scanning my HD to see what songs I have... (How's that Buffalo Springfield song go again?... ) and very pleasantly surprised by this: My other aunt said she heard James Joyce reading Finnegans Wake on NPR (National Public Radio) and became determined to get this for me. I was in the middle of reading that the last time I saw her (about a year and a half ago) and made her sit through a few passages of me reading it aloud. My grandfather, her father, was in the hospital at that time and I thought anything would be better than nothing. I'm glad it gave her something positive to take out of a really tough time for all of us. The rest is some much needed clothes. My family knows I hate shopping for clothes and will just continue to wear worn out things indefinitely. They're image conscious. I gave a set of Savarez nylon strings to my partner and extra 1 and 2 strings since neither of us have ever strung a Spanish guitar and I'm sure there will be mistakes. We also went out to the sushi restaurant down the street and I treated us to Tokuzushi (the "Special" Plate). Man it was good. I also mailed out shows I taped to the musicians in Tokyo, Seattle and San Diego who let me record them. Apparently they arrived on Christmas Eve. So it was lucky timing. I was holding out to see if anyone would gift me the TSRTS in any form, but it didn't happen, so I need to get online and order that baby. I'm so happy, my husband finally got me an engagement ring!! When we got married last year, we didn't have a lot of money, so I didn't have one. But my wonderful husband sure surprised me this Christmas!! He even put it on my finger and asked me if I'd marry him I can't stop looking at my hand He also got me a few movies that I wanted That's sweet! I got a very cool telescope. I guess I'm supposed to be using it to star-gaze, however the blonde across the way had her circus undies on last night. I couldn't resist taking a peek. Ole Scratch....he would have been proud. ^ Switch up ! You don't want one eye getting bigger than the other ! Do you think the neighbors might get suspicious if I go out and do some strategic tree trimming ?.....my view is currently slightly obstructed. I immediately thought of this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Look for them at REI or a similar camping store. Smartwool socks are the cushiest, most well made socks in the world. I gave four pairs myself this year. Try them, your feet will thank you. (I guess they're branching out into shirts now- I like the one I got . . .) I have a few pairs of Smartwool socks myself. I wear them when I go snowshoeing or snow mobiling. They make a whole line of long underwear, too. They're supposed to be really good. I stick to the old Air Force-issued polypropylene that Dave gives me. (except that I need new long john pants because the ones that I wore last year are too big to fit under any of my pants!)

waterwitch Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Oh yeah, and I got an agreement from my mom to take a little shopping trip with me on New Year's Day (since I'll be off work and she's retired). It's not really for Christmas, it's for my birthday... which is the same day... so I think it counts. I happen to know that one of my sisters got me an Old Navy gift card ('cause I told her I wanted one), and I also know I'm getting a gift card to someplace else... more general than that. It was a bad year for me kind of spoiling the "surprise"- but shit, when you're 29 and you can't think of anything in particular that you want, it kind of kills the surprise element anyway! But I'm excited to do a little shoppin' with Mom. We always have a good time, and we haven't done it in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Potter and the Order of the phoenix DVD Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to complete my collection of the series (See, I had never actually wanted to own those books - my flatmate had them so I finally read them....after all those years she had tried to talk me into it , but after I bought the last book this summer, I finally realized that it's rather silly to have just Deathly Hallows, so I finally decided to get the rest.) a fancy leather purse an USB flashdisc and an optical mouse William Shakespeare - Complete Works, edited by Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen (Royal Shakespeare Company edition) some sweets .....and an overcoat - it was supposed to be for Xmas, but I've been wearing it since November Edited December 28, 2007 by Katuschka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
