I’m at home, and we have dialup now. Still no broadband. I tried to connect to the neighbor’s internet with no luck as well. I’m going to go out to the site and see if there are any outage notifications. If not, I’ll call them tomorrow and have them send signals to my box and reboot it from there.
Dial-up is definitely unstable. It just kicks me off at random all the time. Frustrating, indeed.
So, here’s my haul, so far:
(from work)
– Lancome Pleasures perfume
– Candle from White Barn Candle Co.
– Mary Kay stuff
– $20 card to Barnes and Noble
(from friends)
– total of $65 to Best Buy
– Legolas magnet
– bubble bath
– rose scented candle
– cherry flavored chapstick
– $20 to McDonalds

– Popular Season 1 DVD
– Harry Potter and the POA DVD
– Harry Potter Quidditch Playstation 2 game
– air compressor

– scrapbooking kit
– huge pad of scrapbooking paper
– 2 journals
– $25 to Gap
– Disney Trivial Pursuit
– Mickey Mouse Club stuffed Mickey Mouse
– nightgown
(stocking stuffers – from chris)
– lots of board game key chains
– a huge Hershey’s kiss
– astronaut ice cream
– 20Q game
– Bop It keychain
– mini etch-a-sketch

And there is still more to come!!!!
Here is my favorite gift of all, I think:
Christmas is fun. And yes, I know, my hair is not cute at all in that picture. And I look fat. Holy crap, maybe I should take it down.
Alrighty then. Chris has fallen asleep and Aidan has the run of the house and a bad attitude. Later gators!
Comments Off on Some Christmas Stuff (Pictures)
Last night was most interesting. The power went out again at 4:30pm, and stayed off til almost midnight. We slept then we played and opened some stocking stuffers by candlelight and cooked cocoa and chicken soup with sternos. I took pictures. ๐ We didn’t get up til 9 or so, and then we didn’t even start to open gifts til 10. Who does chores and showers before opening gifts? The Davis Family, apparently. Chris had to go and wake Aidan up.
I got tons of stuff, and now my Best Buy gift card total is over $300. I’m not done yet!! I’ll post a picture once things are back to “normal” at home. Aidan is sooo cute, he got so many things. It took him forever to open his gifts. And he hasn’t gotten his stuff from the grandparents and aunts and uncles yet.
Despite the troubles, I’m having a yummy Christmas. I miss my friends so much, though. And I haven’t seen Mommy yet–we have to wait til next week thanks to the weather and road conditions. I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday!
Comments Off on Quick Update
I’m currently at my friend Craig’s. We have no power at home and probably won’t til after Christmas. And the temps are going into the single digits. We got hit hard with this storm. What a crazy holiday this is. Lots of plans had to be changed.
The power came on a couple of times today, but it went off and stayed off. Aidan and I cuddled under the blanket and fell asleep. That was nice and warm because Aidan is warm! Then Chris came home and turned on the fireplace and lit some candles while we decided what to do. Now, we’re at Craig’s, I’m getting my internet fix, and it’s WARM.
Again, this is insane. How can people love this?
Actually, it’s very beautiful. The ice on the trees, the lack of light in our neighborhood. It’s so silent and eerie. If it would snow like this, and I’d not have to leave the house and I had power and heat, I’d love it. But alas, right now it’s a pain in my behind. Heh.
So yeah, we’ve got our white Christmas! For sure, for sure!
Edited to Add: WHY did my child open 4 gifts? Luckily, they were all to him. I heard paper ripping, then he said “ooooo.” *shakes head* He’s a mess. ๐
