X-Mas loot!

[whogeek]

So, I got Torchwood Season 1 for X-mas!  It made me squee mightily and dance wildly.  Will be avidly watching for the next five weeks.  Again, and again, and again....  Also got lots of socks, which were much needed.  Surprisingly, no quarters for laundry.  Oh, a snow tube, for when I go back to my school.  New clothes with x-mas money, and new slippers, and.... Oh, went shopping today, and got snowpants, ski gloves, a ski/snowboarding helmet and goggles, and a nice ski jacket.  For fairly good prices.

Did not get a white x-mas, despite being in Buffalo, NY.   It rained.  Snowed a little today, but not much.  Hoping for snow tonight, as that would mean we might actually get snow before we head back to NC.  Anywhosle, I've been eating too many x-mas cookies, and poteca, which I made with my Grandma and Sister, and other sweet stuff, so I'm buzzing right now.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, I really don't... but to me, a good gift is a useful gift (or one I've been wanting). So while a small music box with a miniature carousel that plays "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" is indeed adorable, why couldn't my mother have gotten me another set of earrings like she has for the past couple of years? And I don't wear scarves. I'm working my way through the chocolate. The cash I got will pay for my speeding ticket, and I'm kinda wishing I got the Amazon gift promo code before Christmas, but there ya go. I'll buy the other two CSI:NY novels with it (god, I'm such a fangirl even with what they've been doing to my show I'd start picking up the Burn Notice novels but I doubt they'll contain Victor and they might even have some Mike/Fi moments and I am not a Mike/Fi supporter because she just doesn't get him).

Worked yesterday. Got my ass kicked royally. Working again today. Truck schedule says again, I will get my ass kicked royally. I'd actually wanted to go to bed since an hour after I got home last night, but in reality I got shortchanged on sleep because Mom wanted to meet for breakfast before she drove back to Arkansas, and since I'm the weirdo who sleeps all day when the rest of the world is up and productive... yeah, got tired of trying to keep my eyes open (because I knew that if I laid down I wouldn't get back up) so I called her at 6 and woke her up and said "can we move this up? I'm sleepy." And wonder of wonders, but when we got to the restaurant we called a truce on sleep schedules.

It's been nasty cold lately, and rainy, but no snow.

I guess I'm lucky, in that the only thing I got that I wasn't super excited to get was a scented oil diffuser/nightlight thing. Everything else I asked for. Except the socks. But I always need new socks. I end up with hobo socks.

Back in NC, and of course, it snowed the night before we left NY, so there was about 3 inches of snow on the ground, which would have been enough to make a snowman. Drove through lots of snow on the way there, and back, but of course it actually snows there when/after we leave. **mutters about stupid lake effect snow**
