all I got for x-mas

Being an atheist at x-mastime is fun because you get all the gifts and all the food without all of the religious nonsense :-) This year I got some pretty good stuff! I�m sure if you�re reading this slice you also read my previous one about the joy that is, or rather WILL BE since it hasn�t arrived yet, my mixer. My mixer, even though it isn�t here yet, is my favoritest gift � how could it not be? Other highlights include: 1. The new Rufus Wainwright CD I got from my sister. And man, I�m TOTALLY gonna wear out Track #7 so look for another slice some time in the near future about me having to go out and buy myself a replacement disc. 2. A super chic lookin� shiny black photo frame (also from my sister) which, temporarily, is displaying gift certificates for pizza :-) 3. I/we got a grill pan from Justin�s parents and I�m eager to try that thing out but also kinda nervous as I�ve never used one before. My first attempt to use it will be tomorrow when I try another first � making beef negimaki. 4. My grandparents didn�t do so well this holiday season. Gift #1? A one-quart casserole dish with cover that�s just a little too country for my tastes. Sure a dish is a dish and it is certainly something I can use � just not the design I would have selected for myself. And did I mention that it�s a casserole dish from LONGABERGER? And did I mention that my cousin is conveniently a dealer/representative/whatever they call themselves of Longaberger products? Well, she is so that�s the reason behind the fact that my mother, sister, and aunt got Longaberger products as gifts too. Gift #2 from the grandparents was yet ANOTHER set of �four, count �em, FOUR porcelain kitten ornaments complete with golden halos and feathery angel wings� just like the set last year. (To refresh your memory, read this old slice) I know the package SAYS that these are four DIFFERENT kittens but eh, they�re all the same to me � useless garbage. 5. Cash, sweet cash! Being on the stupid get-my-blood-pressure-and-cholesterol-down diet made for a lack of excitement in the food department this year as I was fully aware of every crumb that crossed my lips and most of those crumbs were �real food� and NOT the cookies etc. that I wanted to be eating. Well, I hope y�all had a grand time celebrating whatever calendar holiday it is you choose to celebrate and that if you�re an atheist, like me, someone gave you gifts anyway... |
