Her first night in her new bed

The bed takes up 75% of her little room LOL but she doesn't seem to mind. The paint job and the bed don't go together anymore either. I told hubby that this bed means that one day we are going to have to paint over the hundred acre wood :(
We are having Christmas on the 2nd and 3rd this year. Slacker came home yesterday. We will open family gifts on Sunday and then Monday night all his friends come over to eat dinner and visit. We have a grand time.
I will make lasanga on Sunday night and then when I get home from work on Monday will just have to heat it and do veggies, salad and bread.
I am so looking forward to seeing all the kids. Well I call them kids but they are all in their 30's now. They met in junior high or high school and have been friends all these years.
So excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say it only jokingly! I spent a couple of months in Wales last year and I'm already trying to plan my next trip back. I made many friends while there.Quote:

What Wom is referring to is NZ has more sheep than it has people lol.:):D
My parents sent me some gift cards which was really nice. Got a new plush chicken (I love stuffies lol) and some things I needed that couldn't wait until financial aid came through.
The real presents are coming as soon as that happens. I'm FINALLY getting a new DJ mixer, a virtual crate load of new tunes and a little sound effect goody that is too neat to pass up. I already got a great pair of headphones and a new 1 terabyte hard drive :D
Getting back into my passion is well worth it. I've neglected that part of myself for way too long lol.
WOW !!! A four poster..........luxury :DQuote:

Well I really splurged on myself today. I figure I work very hard for my money so why not buy some things that I've wanted for quite a while.:)
I received a $50 Best Buy gift card from my brother and his family on Monday so I went to Best Buy today and I bought myself a few things. I bought:
A new HP desktop computer that can be totally wireless if I want it to be.
A Samsung 23" LED Monitor to go with my new computer.
A Canon Printer which can also be totally wireless if I want it to be.
Bose Speakers for my new computer.
A Dynex 26" Flatsceen TV-LCD/DVD Combo
Everything was on sale except for the computer and I also qualified for an 18 month interest free payment plan. I already paid $480 towards it. Now I just need to set everything up and figure out where I want to put everything.:)
def the most precious gift.. keeping yo both on our thoughts.. may he recovers quickly.. wishing you many many years together to come..Quote:

If you have any friends or acquaintances that does ceramics, have them make you one. Or take a ceramics class and make yourself one. Years ago, my then MIL took a ceramics class for the sole purpose of making a bunch of these to give as Christmas gifts. I still have mine, and it is displayed every year, without fail. :)Quote:

Other than that - money, chocolate and alcohol - to keep a poor student going!
