Niiiiiice.

Money.

more than I deserved

[Fundle_Bundle82]

Money, an iHome ipod dock , 2 Victoria's Secret gift cards (one from my family, one from my boyfriend's family) Elf on DVD, a page-a-day calendar of Shakespearean insults, some Victoria's Secret PJ pants, and my boyfriend got me an external hard drive to store my songs, and the special edition Harry Potter boxed set that includes all the movies so far, 2 bonus discs, bookmarks, and collector cards.

Sounds like everyone had a great Christmas! I'm glad so many of us received just what we wanted, like Scrantonbranch and her ring, Bubblewrap and her photo, and Mrs. Snooks' now nearly complete kitchen. And, Hottest, I think your new harp is awesome, too.

So far, I've received a pretty pair of earrings and an emergency radio (with weather band radio and cell phone charger!) from Mr. Ultra_Temp. Several friends added Hallmark ornaments to my collections, and I also was given a beautiful angel necklace and some great hand creme from Crabtree & Evelyn. We also got a Harry & David gift basket and the goodies are about gone. My best friend's kids sent me a Webkinz cocker spaniel because I always talk to them about their Webkinz pets.

No sign of the cowgirl boots slippers yet ... but Mom and Dad will be here soon with more nifty gifties.

I'm so haaaaappppyyy! I received the DVD of "The Office"(season 1) for Christmas. I was really surprised because I didn't deserve it, to be honest. I've been a nasty girl all year long.

[Fancy_New_Becca]

I got a chritmas card with cash in it. My uncle had it and didn't give it to me for a few days.

[StephanieC]

It sounds like everyone had a great Christmas. It's so fun to read what everyone got.

First, it's great that everyone in my family is happy and healthy.

Now on to the gifts!!!! Some highlights:

3 sets of adorable pj's, 2 robes,slippers
gap coat and scarf
a Dwight eraser I didn't know even existed
an Alex Woo dove peace necklace
itouch!! ( total surprise from my parents)

I feel like my family spoiled me way too much this Christmas. We don't exchange big gifts between the adults, but this year my dad for whatever reason decided to go all out for my sister and I. He got me an XM radio, all the accesories I need for it, a gift card to get it installed in my car, and a years subscription. I was so shocked! It's not anything I ever would have asked for myself, I just never would have thought of it in a million years, but it was such a cool surprise, and so overwhelming. He got my sister all new appliances for her kitchen, which looks so beautiful right now. The only problem is everything's so shiny and pretty, I don't think she's going to want to do any cooking in her kitchen now!

I got a lot of other really nice gifts too. My grandparents gave me giftcards to Target and Old Navy. My mom & stepdad gave me a subscription to Blueprint magazine and a gift card to Trader Joes, plus lots of pretty candles, candy and girly stuff. My sister gave me DKNY Be Delicious perfume. And from different friends I got Futurama season 1 and Extras season 2, a lot of books, and a Lomo camera (it's the Lubitel 166B, a medium format camera made in the USSR in the late 80's. I'm already in love with it, so I'm sure I'll be posting a lot of pictures in creative works.)

I know it sounds cliche, but really the best present this year was getting the time off to spend Christmas with my family. I've spent the past couple Christmases alone, and to be with them....well I just get choked up thinking about it. I was able to go to Christmas eve service with them, which was really nice. On Christmas Eve day we had a lot of fun going to the fish market to buy our Christmas dinner and then driving around the coast just for fun. We then just spent the rest of the day baking cookies and watching movies. And Christmas day was so much fun, playing with my nephew and visiting with family. It was so special, I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas.

Yes, a harp like that. Except mine's a lot smaller because I don't have a pedal harp. This is mine:


My dad also gave me partial ownership of my brother's cello because...I can actually play it.

Wow, that's great! How do you play the harp without pedals? I mean, I know you pluck the strings, but, can you play in different keys? An acquaintance of mine is the principal cellist in the Pittsburgh Symphony. I love the cello!

My daughter and I both got cash toward a weekend trip that we've been talking about for awhile. It's been a wonderful holiday

So where are you going? I'm glad.

I got a mix of good and bad.
from my mom.
-a electric tooth brush
-earrings
-a record device you hang on your key chain
-and yahtzee score cards(i kid you not). I have to give my mom credit cause I used some gifts early she bought me, the coffee bean grinder and hair dryer and she did buy me all that stuff when she won that money

Hey lizzie, it beats the light bulb she gave you last year!

And last night my nana gave me a framed picture of when she met Jane Powell in Las Vegas in the 50's. I've wanted a copy of this picture for a long time.( Jane Powell was an actress in the late 40's/early 50's-she was in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers ) My nana and papa were newlyweds and had just moved to Las Vegas (my papa was in the Air Force) and as sort of a promotional for that movie- seven new brides were invited to a luncheon with her. And of course my nana was one of the brides chosen. It's a really neat picture though and it was an awesome Christmas present

Wow, bubble that is awesome!!! I just watched 7 Brides again 2 weeks ago.

a page-a-day calendar of Shakespearean insults,

That sounds like a lot of fun!

No sign of the cowgirl boots slippers yet ... but Mom and Dad will be here soon with more nifty gifties.

*smacks self in head* I KNEW there was something I forgot to ask for! This site had a lot of great choices.

I received:
Special 10th Anniversary Edition of P&P
Seasons 3 & 4 of Quantum Leap
Monet calendar
Regifted Bath and Body works stuff from my sister (from her cleaning lady, in a scent I don't like)
Bob Seegar Greatest hits CD
Bon Jovi Greatest hits CD
Memory foam neck massager
Sarris (our local chocolatier) Chocolate covered pretzels
Chocolate truffles
Sarris Chocolate candy bars
$50 gift card to Lowe's

It's the first time my brother has done all of his own Christmas shopping - he got each of us a $50 gift card to Lowes. I guess we'll use it on the bathroom remodel. Although I could find lots of good stuff for myself at Lowes - I lobe that store!

[SharpSchruter23]

That's so sweet Queenie


My Best friend got home from Hawaii yesterday and today she gave me a christmas gift. They are black pearl earrings she got in Hawaii and they match my black pearl necklace I recieved for my birthday from my parents!

She's so sweet to think of that! I LOVE them!

I took a large portrait of she and her son last semester and I bought her a huge picture frame to display it and I bought her son a fisher-price noah's ark.

The look on his face and his reactions were priceless (he's 2 and a half) "OH boy! Would you look at THAT!"


LOL! I loved seeing that .

My granddaughter liked it too. Although, she has added her mickey and minnie to the ark, but that's ok. Disney is everywhere.

Hey...I pm'd you, so I hope you got it.

So where are you going? I'm glad.

We were thinking about taking the train to Chicago - shopping, zoo, museums. I would love to get on a plane and go a little farther away, though. Wherever we go, it probably won't be until warmer weather.

[vbarkley]

Pittsburgh has shopping (marginal), zoo (marginal), museums (pretty good) and VB (priceless!).

You mentioned Phipps Conservatory the other day . . . . Their spring show every year was food for the eyes and soul.
