Christmas 2012
Dec. 25th, 2012 11:41 pmAs the last minutes of Christmas wind down, a recap of the day.
For me, a pretty good one.
- box of goodies from my lovely bff![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rainpuddle13 including a beautiful keepsake box, gloves for keeping my hands warm at work, a gorgeous scarf, the neatest soccer ball ornament ever, and some yummies that I plan to hoard away (Cadbury Flake, and caramel biscuits that I'd love to savor one at a time but will probably end up hoovering in one sitting.)
- a new car stereo and Garmin to replace the PoS factory one in my car. (Side note about new Garmin GPS units...use Garmin Express for the Lifetime Map updater. If you go through the main site's update procedure, its interminably slow (not even a quarter finished after 4 hours...Express did the job in less than 15 minutes.)
- the Twilight Film archive book with a gazillion truly cool things from the movies including some pics I've never seen before
- new charms for my Pandora bracelet (the soccer ball and spacers for each of the boys)
Present highlight of the day: DJ wants another tattoo and is saving up for it. I went into the shop and they have gift cards. So I bought him a "glitter tattoo" kit at Michaels and taped the gift card to the back. The expression on his face when he opened the box was adorable (as he opened it, I said "I knew you wanted another tattoo, so..."). The expression when he flipped it over and saw the card was even better.
Overall, it was a pretty brilliant day. We stayed in our pajamas all day, bummed around, and then had stuffed shells for dinner.
Still hard to believe that two Christmases ago, we were seeing the first inch of what would become almost a foot of snow.
( for my own memories, not because I think anyone will read it )
