I Forgot to Tell You...

So after my pre-Christmas post you’re probably wondering what all the fuss was about.  Or not.  Whatev. Even though Christmas is long gone – I will fill you in.

Firstly, I was pretty pleased with my gift purchases this Christmas.  I bought these:

 

        For this funny girl...

        ...who obviously needs running shoes these days.

       And then it was on to Boyfriend.  I had fun buying my first stocking stuffing gifts for him. And for his big gift I got him this:

     Mostly so we can watch this. (On demand.)

      As for my gift - Boyfriend got me one of these:

3G Kindle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

        

       In case you're like me - and didn't know what an Amazon Kindle was, to want one in the first place.  It's for reading books - without the hassle of turning pages.  And Boyfriend knew I wanted one even before I did.  And you may recall from my previous post stating that the Amazon box was the worst clue in the history of the world for what my present might be?  Clearly that was inaccurate.  The Amazon box could not have been a better clue - I was just too busy thinking about buying monkeys and Egyptian pyramids on the internet to get it.

       What I also learned though, is this - the Kindle is apparently way cooler than the Xbox - because he was WAY more excited to show me how cool my gift was than he was about what I got him.  And also because I've already read a whole book and the Xbox is still in the basement, sitting in the box it came in.  Maybe this weekend I'll open it for him.   

A Real Nail-Biter

I haven’t had a Christmas surprise in probably five years or so.  Sister and I have agreed to do something together rather than give gifts for the past couple years – so no surprises there.  My parents long ago gave up on the surprise idea and now we just get exactly what we asked for.  And last Christmas me and boyfriend were kind of new at being ‘me and boyfriend’ and I wasn’t expecting anything really.  But this year.  This year the anticipation is DRIVING ME NUTS. 

 I’ve been asking him every day for two weeks if he wants to let me open them today.  He says "no" every time.  And if I happen to forget to ask him, he teases me with a “want to open your presents today?”And then a “too bad – you have to wait.” 

He won’t even give me one clue – all I’ve got is that ‘part’ of it came from Amazon.com – which is like the least helpful clue ever.  I’m pretty sure you can purchase one of the pyramids on that website or a monkey or just about anything.  So that doesn’t narrow it down much for me. 

But we’re thinking we might do our Christmas on Christmas Eve – simply because we’d prefer to sleep in Christmas morning. So that means I only have to be tortured with anticipation for one more day.  I’m having visions of a nice fire in the fire place while we exchange gifts – but that could potentially be pretty smokey.  Guess we’ll see how it goes.  

Anyway - Merry Christmas to you.

Also - I am proud to announce that after twenty-five years I’ve given up my nail biting habit. Seriously, I’m pretty sure since I’ve had teeth – I’ve been destroying my nails.  And now.  I’m not.  I asked boyfriend if he wanted me to put his picture on my nails like Katy Perry did for Russell Brand.  He says that won't be necessary.
