Christmas Goodies

[piyo_halliwell]

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
Mine started on Christmas Eve.  I worked a closing shift that night, and while the lines were long, it wasn't too bad.  After work I headed over to my Dad's house to celebrate our Christmas.  Darla was already there with Andy's kids Melody and Ralphie, and Shirley had everyone set up with cookies.  After

Those gifts your mom picked out are adorable! I love the little mirror and the mermaid especially. And have fun with your DS! If you have a Gamestop near you, they have some pretty good deals on used games, and if you buy used you can return anything within a week if you don't like it. xD

I really enjoyed the Sorcerer's Apprentice. And I'll agree with you about the Tesla Coil scene being amazing. I love One Republic anyway, so the fact that it was "Secrets" only increased my love for it. Plus - it was a really fun movie! Apparently they were going to include a scene with Chernabog or something at the end, but they had to cut it. Bummer! Hopefully they'll get to do a sequel or something.

Thanks! I'm trying to figure out what to do with my mermaid, because I don't want to harm it if I use it as a keychain. Hm...

I'm telling you, I'm going to have so many games it's not even funny. I want to get a case for my DS, and have a feeling that if I go shopping for one, I'll come back with more than just that.

Sorcerer's Apprentice was really good! I remember asking one of my friends if it made me any more of a dork for being upset that the tesla coil music was not on the soundtrack. "No, that's right on par with your dorkiness" was her response. And thanks to that movie, I am obsessed with "Secrets". Always loved OneRepublic, but love them even more.

I hook my keychains to my DS wrist strap and alternate them out sometimes. Especially ones that I don't want to lose.

Game stores are horrible places to go in. You NEVER go out with just one thing, be it a case or a game or whatever. I'm always finding something shiny. And I'm always going "okay - NEXT time I'm going to get (insert game/accessory here). It never ends. I have a great little case for mine. It doesn't hold any games - but it's like a clutch purse, that has a metal stylus holding it shut around the DS. Keeps it from getting knocked around in my bag, and still looks cute. x3

*giggles at your friends response* I was disappointed with that too! Despite that, I do love the soundtrack. The opening of "Secrets" is amazing. *_* They're a hard band not to like, IMO.

Oh my god the mermaid is soooo cute! Really adorable! And how sweet of you to mention me and the tea! ^_^ I so hope you like it.

As for the French translation (you were really close!):

It says:
"I love you (je t'aime),
a bit (un peu),
very much (beaucoup),
like crazy (á la folie)"

And no, I can't speak French, but Sabina (erised_dream) does! ;P

[piyo_halliwell]

You're welcome, and thanks again for your gift! It means a lot. *huggles*

And yeays, I was close! I speak very little French, and when I say little, I mean hardly any at all. I'd love to learn, though. Thank Sabina for the translation for me.

Sabina tried once to teach me, because we have friends in Belgium. They're a bit like my parents-in-law. But I gave up. *shame on me* But I guess, I'll try it again. At least the base would be great, because we want to visit them next year and they expect me to speak in French! Uff! No, I'm not under pressure! *chew fingernails*

Oh, yay! You got it! Did it play?

[piyo_halliwell]

Yes, it does play and I love it! The perfect mix for them! Thank you!!!

[dragonsinger]

Yay!!!
