Spent Christmas morning at my mother's, it was really nice

I got a fair amount of loot this year:

2 new sweaters
2 pairs of pants
a new belt
renewed gym membership
3 tee shirts to wear at the gym(I like them loose for working out)
3 pairs of sweat pants to wear at the gym
Electric razor(my old one died a couple weeks ago)
Gift certificate to the liquor store

The clothes are really gonna come in handy as I've lost 50+ pounds in the last 10 months or so and none of my clothes fit anymore, I had to drill four new holes in my old belt cause it was way too big

And, for some reason, I have been given a SHITLOAD of junk food. Candy, cookies, fudge, home made and store bought, tons of it. I have a freaking bag of it like a kid that went out trick or treating. I'm looking at it and I bet there is 5000+ empty calories in that bag. As I don't want to completely obliterate my diet I have decided I will eat any of it I want today(hey, it's Christmas) and whatever is left over tomorrow is getting donated and outta the house!

hiking socks, a new razor, underarmour pants and underarmour compression shorts we spoiled our 1.5yr old son instead of ourselves

Jstall they want you to fit your clothes again />

Anyways Christmas was really nice this year. I got a ViewSonic 22" monitor, George Orwell's 1984, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, a new alarm (this'll be the third, I have a loud one across the room, one that requires me to do math to turn it off, and now this one is supposed to simulate a sunrise), Bob Marley sandals (lol), and various little toys and tech (including bacon salt, Thinkgeek's bottle opener key, soap (I got the better of the joke gifts - my brother got a toilet patty), bacon mints, and a robot-shaped 4GB thumb drive.


I got my brother Saints Row 3, a USB squid, and my old monitor (a 15" CRT, lol, he likes it though because he can dual screen with his smaller laptop screen. My mom a 14-piece Ginsu knife set with wooden holding block. My sister a one direction magazine/book thing. I got my mom's boyfriend' son a gaming headset. I was also supposed to give one to the other son, but right as the shipment arrived I was told he bought himself a $100 one, so I kept it. Sorta sucks for him because he got like 3 presents, but one of them was a $400 letter mans jacket ($400 for a jacket?! This ain't fashion week!).

I also got my mom and her boyfriend's two sons silicon phone protectors. It gives me anxiety when I see a super expensive phone without a case. I've never understand why people love thin flimsy phones so much. My old phone was very heavy, which I loved. If I could I'd want my phone to be very heavy and built like a tank. Bulletproof glass and all.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Programmers must be the only group of people on this planet that gets so much clothes because no one knows what we do. That or others think we can't dress ourselves.

More like we don't properly wash after marathon coding.

Framed American Documents (Story in spoiler)

Spoiler

My Great-Grandmother was a teacher at the school she ran just up the road from where the current Homestead is. She had copies of great American documents such as the Constitution, Gettysburg Address, etc. that she used when teaching History. These documents were rolled together and have been passed down the family as heirlooms. When they were unearthed this year while moving my Grandmother, it became my Mothers idea to have them professionally framed in non-glare glass as excellent accents in my Office. If I remember, will post a picture once they are hung-up!

It was wonderful to get the family together. Between Cousin Eddie and Myself on the Scotch and Cousin Terry passing around the Homemade Wine, there was much glowing and cheer in our household!

Spoiler

Cousin Terry the grill master even set the Deck on fire!

Christmas this year was pretty darn awesome!

It start out with my boyfriend and I exchanging presents a few days previous to christmas, he got me a Razor Naga Epic which I freaked out about. !! First razor mouse ever.

After that it was christmas time, most the stuff I got was for my new duplex I got. I have very few things of my own as it's my first time /really/ getting out.

12 sets of plates of three different sizes, bowls of two different sizes, and sauce bowls.
12 sets of silverware and some serving silverware as well.
A slew of pots and pans for cooking.
A toaster oven which is gonna be awesome for all my frozen pizzas when I'm lazy.
A fancy purse from some expensive company. I get one every year and keep telling my mother I don't need so many darn purses, but oh well, she's sorta a shopaholic.
A bunch of expensive make-up that I do not know the brand as I do not wear make-up hardly ever, but oh well. *shrug* I suppose I'll start using it again.
^ All that is from my parentals
I also go some amazing knives with the wooden block thing from my brother. He knows just how much I use those things for cooking.
He also got me a gift card to Best Buy, said I was the easiest person to shop for. Haha.
My little sisters got me hand-made cards with cute little pictures all over them.
And my Uncle got me a 100 dollar gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond since I told him I needed stuff for the duplex I got. It's going towards a vacuum. :3

Also, super awesome candycanes!
