One of my shrinks just gave me a gift certificate to Bath and Body Works and a yummy box of Godiva Chocolates.

The hospital gift is a grey fleece vest, with embroidery of the hospital logo (which I designed, incidentally) and a silver ribbon, which is apparently the official color for brain disorders.

And I bought my own Kindle. Next week I should be getting the gifts from the family, which will be $$ to buy content for the Kindle, and my Hallmark Star Trek Ornaments. The main one for this year is the Trouble with Tribbles ... Kirk under the storage compartment, and there's a bunch of tribbles that fall out onto him. And it makes tribble noises.

So far, lots of candies and stuff like that from vendors I work with. One came in a cute penguin stacking box set. Like this.

Take that stacking box penguin, add a couple of beanbags to throw at it, and you've got a great Christmas game.

The kids are already fighting over who gets which boxes.

We're going to a company holiday party tonight (and it really is a "holiday" party; it's at the CEO's house and he's Jewish.) We will no doubt return with two terribly useless items from the White Elephant exchange. (Ours are generic but decent, as they should be IMHO: a box of fudge, and a collection of teas. Since no one knows who brought what, I always try to end up taking home the thing I brought, but it rarely works. Last year, we ended up with an ugly bird statuette like the kind you see in the Hallmark store, and a "roll your own sushi" bamboo mat.

Santa is broke this year, but he did manage to pre-deliver lots of bones and doggy treats for the doggy stocking! Yay!!!

Someone got an early treat and is happy as a clam.

She's growing so fast

Nice doggeh!! I first glanced at the picture and away, and I thought how did that dog get a custom floor-level 104-key keyboard?

And that in turn calls for the classic New Yorker cartoon:

Shawnee123 · 12-18-2008, 03:36 PM

lol@UT!

That does look like a keyboard.

You reminded me of a Garry Shandling bit, about people driving through the country mooing out their car windows at the cows. He said the cows are like "Hey, that's a cow driving that car. How can he afford that?"

I know what santa is bringing me, but only because I spoiled it... See, one of the vendors we buy stuff from for the lab was having a special, spend $X on Y products, get a free iPod shuffle. We needed $X of stuff, so after checking with my boss, who said it was OK, I went ahead and placed the order. Yesterday the shuffle came and I brought it home to show Red. As soon as he saw the shuffle, I knew by the look on his face that he had gotten me an MP3 player for Christmas. Turns out, an iPod nano. We had to run to Sam's anyway for other things last night, so he showed me which one it was. Rock on! I am so excited. He's making me wait till Christmas to actually get it though.

I am very happy for you. It sounds like a cool gift. I was sort of hoping that he was going to give you more lingerie like last time(NSFW).

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Marci and I aren't really exchanging gifts. She is currently in home remodeling mode and while I regularly lust over motherboards and 1TB drives, I have not bought any big ticket items.

I did pick up a Numi blossoming tea set at a local store for myself. It looks cool.

Clodfobble · 12-19-2008, 10:18 AM

So what are you going to do with the iPod shuffle now?

I've been busy loading workout music on it this afternoon inbetween house cleaning, laundry, wrapping presents, and breaking up fights between my daughter and her friend that is over to play. I'm going to use it this afternoon to run (on the treadmill!), I'll let you know how it works!

Cicero · 12-19-2008, 01:17 PM

LOL!!! Yea. That's what everyone says.

She's still been a good girl and working hard in training class...So santa gave all the presents a go signal!
