xmas was excellent
i got a tiffany's necklace i picked out that my mom told me she wasn't going to get me :) and sushi plates (no, not like the sushi pillows) like, little square ones with matching really little ones for wasabi/soy sauce stuff. season 1 of sex and the city, before sunset, usual suspects, target gift card, an umbrella, a spice rack . . . and some other stuff. everyone liked what i gave them - including dad's pillow from brookstone.
the only annoying thing was steve skipped thanksgiving to be with missy's family under the premise that he'd spend xmas with us. apparently "us" only means immediate family because as soon as it switched to extended family (both dad's side and mom's) he went to missy's. BUT i got to talk to my dad's mom for like an hour - so it was really nice. and then i spent a lot of time with nicky (my almost 5 year old cousin) i sat next to him at dinner and fixed his plate for him and then played with him afterwards. and my parents got gift certificate to outback for jennifer and mark (his parents) and i got them movie tickets plus a movie gift cert. for popcorn and stuff - so jennifer asked me if i was volunteering to babysit. so i might get to babysit for nicky and danny (who is less than a year old - i told jennifer she needed to teach me how to change a diaper) i'm excited about that :)
and tomorrow jessie leaves for colorado and edgar starts his 10 days with me :) i'm REALLY excited for that because 1. jessie will have fun and be in a good mood 2. edgar gets to sleep over 3. classes are over so edgar will be working a lot so i'll get to go to the gym after work without feeling any guilt, get alone time in my apartment to practice cooking, and STILL get to see him without having to leave my apartment! jessie's vacation is as much a vacation for me as it is for her - i just will be going to work each day :)
