Subject: So, what did Santa bring you?

Written By: Reynolds1863 on 12/25/09 at 6:32 am

Santa was very good to me.  He left me a gift certificate for Barnes and Nobles, some stuff from Bath and Body works and a box of cookies. :)

I got a Margaritaville Machine, and some margarita glasses, On the Border Margarita Mix in A Bucket, and some wine glasses ( :-\\ is there a pattern here :-\\)




I wonder if next year I am going to get a Gift Certificate to AA :P




Sad thing is, I loved all of these gifts better than the diamond "bangle" Jason got me for our Anniversary :P

This was the best Christmas ever!  After years of being given stuff I couldnt use nor want  (from the stbx) the people I love got me things I need and want.  I love them all!!!

A small digital camera, a portable hard drive, a gps for the car, a watch, wool socks, memory cards, a bathrobe, wine, a bcbg max azria dress, a book on ski technique, some good sweaters, and a small flat screen t v.

Very technical...but very very useful and great.  My mom and dad have been so generous and wonderful to me this year and I look forward to repaying them.

;D  more likely you'll get a GF to Starbucks so you can provide the coffee for your first (free) AA meeting... perhaps they'll stick a flyer for the closest meeting in your stocking... with any luck they'll host it at your school so you wont even have to drive to it.  ;) 

sorry about the bracelet be in LTE soon read more.

I got my Guitar Hero Drum set
the first Dexter book (it was a book before it was a series)
a framed 8x10 of my parents from their last cruise
something stupid (a stuffed animal computer screen cleaner).... it might be a frog maybe I will send it to dag! 
a sweat shirt I will never wear
$80 gift card to Barnes & Noble... I wasn't supposed to get that but my mom and I were in the store and their friend usually sends enough for all three of us - when I jokingly mentioned  being left out this year she gave me her portion  ::)  I tried to give it back but she wouldn't let me.

oh I forgot my mom told my dad's god daughter (she's two years older than me, moved to AZ this summer, and has a 12 yr old son who my parents have adopted as a grandchild  :) )  anyway she asked my mom for gift ideas... my mom told her to check out my amazon gift list... I don't know who's gift list she found but she bought me a baking cooling rack... I haven't baked in like 5 years.... even those hershy's pies I make were all about melting and refrigerating but it was nice of her to think of me.... anyone want a cooling rack  ::)

All I got was a bunch of PS3 games.  I already know what I get each year now, so the suspense is no longer there for me, which I don't mind.  I'd rather give than receive.

You can't break em...  Atleast it has not been possible, in our family (first by me and then by the rest).  I have iPod Nano (first generation :o), iPod Classic, a shuffle (don't remember which one), and 2 iPhones (the first and the second - not the current)...  They have been passed down to kids and hubby, and they are all still working.

I just seem to have this 'effect' on technology. I have killed 3 MP3 players so far, they just stopped working for no apparent reason. Himself has dropped his many times, it's even been through the wash and come out fine! Yet I take care of mine and they just.....die.

I admit I do have high hopes for the I-pod lasting.  :)
