Christmas day. Yay, presents. Some which I must model at some point, LOL, so I will not give them away. And because my dad is cool like that, instead of packing my stocking with the normal trashy food (though I got that too), he gave me two boxes of Weight Watchers dessert things, one of chocolate with chocolate icing that I've not tried and one of carrot cake with real cream cheese icing that's amazing. You sort of expect them to be just trashy tasting to save (a little, LOL, they're still 80) on the calories, but they're not; they're smaller--about Twinkie sized--but excellent. And, he said he would have gotten me the blueberry muffins because I'm a muffin whore, but they cost more, which is cool with me. Got lots of yarn (though I'm wanting to move away from the acrylic trashy stuff that's cheap and thus what I always get because it's rather itchy to wear, but still, since I'm on my toy-knitting kick, it's perfect), that kit with all the different sized needles and cables and such which I'm v. excited to get to play with, a couple of books mostly from the sibs.--one of those comic collections of Harley and Ivy, lol, and one Star Trek that's supposed to be loads about Q, but not in the first 40 pages or so. Though I'm actually going to take the H&I one back, because while reading it, I noticed that the pages are kinda killed--like somebody somehow managed to try to take a hole-puncher to the middle 6 pages or so--and it was too expensive/collectors item-y to let that stand. One of the Kathy Reichs books too, though I don't remember which one. And a 2gig micro SD card for my MP3 player (which is why I spent the last hour digging through everything for my CD case with my episode CDs so I can load some on for the trip). And $40. Which was prolly the best, as I'm always asking for them to just give me money because of my whole uber!frugality thing. Plus the normal clothes, etc. Mostly ones that I tried on along with the purple shirt, which is win, because that means they definitely fit.

LOL at how I wrote this several hours ago and forgot to hit post. Anyway, to end. Should be leaving in a few hours for Oklahoma for visiting with the grandmother. I'm not usually one for the random trips to OK (like we seem to be doing a lot lately), but it's just me, dad, and Kaci (Tyler doesn't want to risk Grandma not. . . being herself because of the strokes and the bits of old-people senility, which I understand). But I cannot find, like mentioned above, CD case with episode CDs on there, because I want to load up some West Wing for the trip and I'm pretty sure I've got season 4 in there. It got stolen by Tyler over the Thanksgiving fake!camping trip, and I have not seen it since. Is not in my room (though OMG, do I have to do about 12 loads of laundry when I get home), this I am certain. I'm trying to download a couple really quickly, but the really quickly part isn't happening, and so more than an hour later I'm not even done with one. One of these days I really am going to call up SBC and bitch at them about how we're getting less than half the speed we're supposed to.

So yes. Real packing? None of this. Trip junk finding (Xena season 5 or 6, that is the question, LOL) is the name of the game.

Happy days to all. Should be back Fridayish? Saturday at the latest.
