Post-holidays.
Dec. 27th, 2005 02:43 pmSo yeah, the haul:
- Jumbo cutting board and frying pan. (Mom says the first sign that the kids have grown up is when they start asking for practical stuff.)
- DVD writer. I just asked for a DVD-ROM drive, so bonus.
- TWO sets of headphones. Apparent failure to communicate between the gift-givers, but I'm fine with this: one for work, one for home.
- Huge tin of Jelly Bellies, among other snack food. (Yum.)
- Pen set.
- Reimbursement for airfare.
- 40 bucks.
Andrew bought Double Dash for me on eBay... it has yet to arrive. He bought it two weeks before Christmas, and the eBay ad said the seller could get it anywhere in the States in a week, so we're not sure what went wrong there. If it doesn't get here before I leave, he's promised to deliver pain and agony to the seller in question. ^^;
Andrew also bought the entire family Twilight Imperium, which we spent a good chunk of yesterday learning. Interesting game, though kinda complicated, and not ideal for five players.
A friend got a whole mess of 24 DVDs (that's the series on the DVDs, not the number) and last night he got a lot of us together to see the first six episodes of Season 1. Mind you, this was my first time watching the show. ...the writers are EVIL! EVIL I SAY! (Must watch more...)
Which brings me to this morning. If you've got to wake up with the annual flu bug, you might as well get it while spending a week at home, away from work or the need to cook, and with parents who have plenty of cold meds in reserve. I'll be skipping the planned get-together tonight, most likely, but with luck I'll be back up and running by tomorrow.

kitarin, got your card, thanks. More than a bit unexpected, since we haven't had the chance to talk in some time, but no less appreciated. (But, uh, who's "Abi"?)
