Christmas 2006
Yeah, I'm posting just to show off what all I got. What of it?
(Clockwise-ish)
From my wonderful wife, the Complete Calvin & Hobbes reallyreally nice books.
From my in-laws, Animaniacs Season 1.
From Mayo, a Frommer's Guide to Portland and a Geek Squad (Best Buy) gift card.
From Melissa's uncle, a JC Penny gift card.
From Melissa's other uncle, a Wal-Mart gift card.
From Melissa's parents and other relatives, lots of happy cash.
Cash which was used to buy this:
Brand new Nintendo DS Lite (last one Best Buy had in stock) and Tetris stickers for it.
Which, when put on, make it look like this:
And, from my side of the family:
Parents got me Settlers of Canaan (a spinoff of Settlers of Catan, based on the Biblical settling of the land of Canaan) and Knights and Cities of Catan (an expansion to Settlers of Catan, that adds a bunch of new gameplay elements). Also got me a gift certificate to Marcus Cinemas, a Chipotle gift card, and a Wendy's gift card. My brother got me a Half-Price Books gift card.
Not pictured: My sister got me a really nifty seashell-thing from her trip to the Bahamas. It's supposed to be an incense holder, but I'm currently using it as a pen holder on my desk at work. Once I get a desktop organizer, I'll bring it home and use it for incense.
In other news, I basically got a new job working for the same company. I'm totally psyched over it, but I'm getting tired of writing. Plus if I give details about it, I'll want to make that a Friends-only post. The gist of it is 8-5, M-F, with my own desk and (large) cubicle and everything. Makes me very happy.
