yeah, I'm giving up on denying that I'm sick ;___; I have a huge pile of Christmas packages waiting to be mailed that I was going to send last Monday, but I got called in to work almost every day before Christmas (and of course worked Christmas Eve and Christmas) and now I'm stupid sick. This is killing me. At least the chocolate mint bars last pretty much forever when refrigerated yes the packages are in the fridge |D.
Christmas was still good, though. We got up at 5am to open presents together since I was going to work, and thanks to ~cooperative presents buying~ everyone got presents that they actually wanted. We got my mom a necklace from Helzberg Diamonds' support ribbon collection that was both an angel and a cancer ribbon as a way of recognizing all she's gone through this year and will continue to face the rest of her life ;; ♥ For my dad, his big present was a rather expensive new glider that he hasn't been able to stop messing with (either making tiny adjustments or flyin it in his spare time). My sister got a ton of shirts and band merch that she's been wanting, plus a new desk for her room. I'd been hoping to get her the Santa Jack Skellington model (or Sally or Oogie Boogie), but I didn't find any listings in my price range in time.
Anywho, most interesting part: my swag!
* IRON WHISK - I will rule with this! It's about 3 feet long XD From Jenn, who finally found a blacksmith to make it. We've decided I need a giant spoodle next.
* Unicorn bag - found this at Charming Charlie's and my sister bought it for me.
* My Melody Mimobot - from mom ♥ only a 4GB flash drive, but it's cute.
* Unicorn Pillow Pet - from Stephen. XD There was a battle between the unicorn and Vince shortly after.
* SMHS Band Shako - ALDKFJADSHFLKJH. My sister 'stole' me one of the old uniform hats from school, so now I have my full band uniform FOREVER. It even has a brand new plume ;~;
* SMHS Band 2006 Senior Collage - Another thing 'stolen' for me. The band room was being cleaned up, and they were removing old posters and collages. It was only going to go into storage, so Tree offered to take it home for me. It has all 16 band seniors from that year~ (largest band senior class ever).
* Cirque du Soleil 'La Nouba' DVD - yaaaay! \o/ The inspiration for our band show in 2005, the year everyone wants to forget but the music was amazing (we received only two Excellent ratings and 0 Superiors, which is fail for our band - we usually score only two Excellent and all other ratings are Superior).
* Eats, Shoots & Leaves - The Zero Tolerance approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss. - AHAHAHA.
* Starbucks Cup Ornaments - every year I get them :3 This year the iced cup ornament has a straw.
* Nice Jewelery Chest - I've wanted one for ages, but they're so expensive to get a good one. My mom and dad got one for me this year, though, and now I actually have a central place for -all- my rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. It even has that cool anti-tarnish lining to keep my silver from getting all bleh.
* Hand-cut wooden unicorn ornament - ♥ From my sister.
* Tokidoki Makeup Box + Magnet - several eye shadow palettes, though mine's 'special.' Two of the slots were filled in with identical colors. Ironically, I got two of 'Ninja.'
* Tokidoki Glitter Eye Pencils - I love glitter 8D
* Harajuku Lovers 'Love' and Bento Makeup Set - Unfortunately, the 'bento' part is temporary packaging, but it was very cute :3 Eye shadow, lip gloss, eye and lip liner (hah, lip liner), and sample vials of all the scents.
* Kodak Easy Share Camera - !!! my own camera ;___;
* Tickets to the MIM - SO EXCITED. I still haven't been there, and I can't wait to go! I also got a clarinet ornament from there~
* Invader Zim GIR Pajama Pants, full cast T-Shirt, purple plaid pajamas, new black headphones
****** TLU VOLUME 1 SIGNED COVER ****** I only need one more volume to have all of them ;v;
I also got Fiona Christmas presents. A new blue brocade martingale collar, and a fleece tug-toy. She loves it, even though I haven't had the energy to play with her much ^^;
...wow, that took me two hours to type .____. I'm going back to bed for a bit now. Oh, I also won that Pokedoll tin on Y!J \o/ along with several other pokedoll items. It feels like forever since I've found something for my fire horse collection *sob*

I should be sending your package out soon. There's been some problems popping up with the CDs this year. They're mostly done though, just getting some final details out of the way. Give it a week or two?
Take care Caryn! *Big hugs*

Date: 2011-01-01 01:49 am (UTC)Yup, the tin is the one you showed me :DDD and you are free to go after those charms. I have most of the individuals from that set, so it's not a high priority right now. I WILL PROBABLY REGRET THIS LATER, BUT OH WELL. They show up intermittently~
and we can be late xmas gift buddies! o/ Procrastinators of the world, unite... tomorrow.
