alexmegamiI'm not quite done getting my gifts yet (ahhhh, the joys of having a divorced family, though they are few and far between), but so far, I have gotten:
-monstrous amounts of chocolate
-Bailey's Minis
-a unicorn figurine
-Monstrous Regiment (which I think is Terry Pratchett realizing there are like twice as many men as women in all his other books and making up for it ;) but I love it)
-Hoobastank's "The Reason"
-The Barenaked Ladies' "Everything to Everyone"
-Various Artists, "Italo-Euro Hits"
-a mini Tarot deck (Rider, because my mom thinks it'll help me learn the symbolism better, with explanation booklet)
-three shirts, all black, more stylish than I ever would have bought (and one is just a turtleneck)
-Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" (why, Grandma, why...)
-a calendar of wild creatures
-a soft but kind of weird-feeling new blanket (it feels like movable styrofoam covered in that fuzzy material...)
-a book of quoatable Twain
-a reading light
-$180, so far

Date: 2003-12-26 11:58 pm (UTC)(I find it hilarious that Twain is simply *scathing* when it comes to Austen... I tried reading one of her books once. This one at least I can finish the first page without turning into Mrs. Hyde, but...)
