Christmas! December! Work! MADNESS

[arch_schatten]

I'm still alive! hi, everyone! Urg, I'm sorry I'm so awfully behind. I just cracked my knuckles and decided to go through all my missed posts, and after skip=140, LJ decided I could not have any more tabs! or, well, yes to tabs, no to seeing posts. Anyway, I managed to find fic I haven't read posted in worlds_finest, so I hope I didn't miss anything... not that

It's good to be busy with work, right, even if it sucks? Maybe? I know I don't always feel that way!

Your necklace sounds awesome! My boy got me a butterfly necklace with blue stones, and it's really nice. I think I did okay for him, but it is hard because the guys can always get the girls jewelry, but what's the equivalent for them? I'm not gonna buy him a powertool.

Glad you're doing okay and had a nice holiday. Maybe 2011 be as fortuitous for you!

Busy with work is usually good, if exhausting? I am nervous as this current construction draws to a close, as I don't have anything certain going on next. I don't want to work for my parents anymore, but it might be the only option to keep my workers employed...

I agree with you about boys and personal meaningful presents! I did some surveys and apparently the equivalent would be a watch? but... like, I didn't want to get him a crummy watch but I also didn't think spending 200 dlls in his present was proper? It's so hard... I hope your boy liked his presents! And your necklace sounds so pretty! butterflies for the win!

May 2011 be awesome for you too!

Hey girl! Good to hear from you! I always enjoy reading your updates. I totally can relate to that feeling of running around like that. OMG your present sounds awesome! I hope you have a good New Year's Eve and a great start to 2011 yourself!

Heyaaa! I'm glad to see you around, too! Though I see you more on twitter this days, since I'm so behind with LJ...

The necklace was gorgeous! I love it so :) I hope you have a good 2011 too, full of opportunities and adventures!

Hi Mina! Listening to Infected Mushroom at this point sounds like a good idea! :) I put them on my alarm any morning I need to wake up chipper and think of you, lol.

The locket is the best Christmas gift ever! Boys are super hard to shop for, although it does help a bit when they're geeky, at least...

I hope you have awesome adventures in 2011! I can't believe we're almost done with 2010!

Infected Mushroom is coming to town next month! yayyy! I'm going to drag Cookie to see them, haha. IM rocks!

Boys are so hard to get meaningful presents for! Like.. maybe a watch? but the difference is that you can get super cute jewelry pretty inexpensively but it's not like you can buy super awesome watches the same way. Maybe for his next birthday, though! Or, as Q_T says, a power tool :P Geeky presents totally make it easier, too. Neil Gaiman to the rescueeee!

I hope to see you in two months, so that's my awesomest adventure planned for 2011! and maybe ComicCon too! SO MANY ADVENTURES! :)

Hey, merry christmas and happy new year!

Ouch, I hope work gets less stressful for you this year. Yelling at coworkers who are also family is no fun.

Sounds like an awesome present! I'm sure boy liked what you got him too. Boys are very hard to shop for.

Oh man, Wheel of Time is a slippery slope. I hope you're enjoying the series so far! It's probably the best time to start reading them, now there's an end in sight.

Happyyyy New Year to you too, Kate! hope you had a good holiday season :D

Working with dad is so mad-making. He can be very overbearing and rude, things I wouldn't put up with in another job or with another client... but right now it's what I have, so I guess I have to make do. Money is starting to worry me, though...

Boys are hard to shop for meaningful things. I got him a tshirt that hasn't arrived yet (damn it), two Neil Gaiman books and a wallet. So. Kind of impersonal but at least they are personal interest-related? :S

Wheel of Time is.. man. It's definitely a lot of things. It desperately needed an editor, though, to cut through all the meandering stuff. Those books sure are long. I'm liking them well enough, though I admit the main reason I'm reading them is because the boy is loving them with the passion of a thousand suns and he won't shut up about them, so this way at least I know what he's talking about. I've just started book 5, so... we'll see how long it takes me to finish the series...

Hope you're doing okay!

It's nice to see you here again. :) I'm glad to hear you had nice Christmas holidays.
I wish you success and happiness in the new Year 2011!

Thank you so much! I hope you had a good holiday season too, and that this next year is full of health and joy and great things :D
