back from gift-giving. i love having a family who's event lasts.... an hour? none of that I GIVE MY ENTIRE DAY TO YOU stuff, boy howdee. we mean business when it comes to holidays. show up. exchange... things... hug, and leave. eat if necessary.

i shall tell you all about what i got later (i know you're DYYYYING to know... heh.), but what i WILL tell you now, is that we got some things that shall be making our gaming nights even more funtastic than they already were:

- a deck of uno cards!
- a cotton candy making machine!
- a chocolate fountain!

oh, yes, everyone will be pounding on MY door for playing trivial pursuit. granted, they're machines for kids, but that means NOTHING!!! nothing, i tell you! fun will still be had!

weeee!

also got enough baked goods from my mother to support a family of three for a week. this means a lot to me, as i know how difficult it is to get around the house these days.

and CLOTHES! thank you, jessie. you know how i hate clothes shopping, so i'm always beyond game for new clothing as gifts!

and a dorothy (wizard of oz) coffee mug, which will mean lots more to raisin than it will to most of you. there's sentimental childhood nostalgia right there, buddy boy.

i also got homemade spaghetti sauce, homemade potholders, other baked goods, and other fabulously fun stuff from andrea.

all in all, i really really REALLY loved EVERYTHING that i got. really.

i shall reciprocate... one day.

(okay, maybe i WON'T post what i got in a later post, as it's all been spilled here. now, what to do with my evening? eq mayhaps?)

p.s. - i forgot to mention that my mother bought me a bottle of kahlua. rawk. \m/ too much rock for one hand, indeed! \mm/
