There were some quizzes saved on here when I went to update. So I figured I might as well post them. I have boreks in the oven; once those are done, I'll go down to Aunt Elaine's for Christmas dinner. I also made a hot cider-punch thing.

My parents were happy with the gifts I got them, which is nifty. I got Mom a bird feeder, a bunch of candles, an outdoor decorative bird, an iron thing for her wall, a candle warmer... Oh, a stuffed moose (she likes moose for some reason), an angel ornament and a lifehouse ornament... And the chicken cookie jar. Dad got some DVDs (Hidalgo and a double-feature John Wayne DVD), a Dremel polishing kit, some books on Ireland and Great Britain traveling, and some grilling stuff.

Mom got me socks and underwear; I keep giving her crap about it. But she also got me some Angel Sanctuary and Dragon Knights volumes, a new purse with a long strap (do you know how hard those are to find?), and some pretty jewelry. Also, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. SQUEE. And Goo Goo Dolls! I got some hairties, a rice cooker, and these sleep socks that are supposed to seal in moisture; I have problems with my calluses cracking on my feet.

Best parody song EVAR came on the radio yesterday. "Walking 'Round in Women's Underwear." Amused the hell out of me. Mom and Dad leave for Floriday tomorrow; I actually get the day off. I am happy. I'd love to go to Best Buy and get one of the computers on sale, but my parents would kill me. (Yes, it's my money, but with the vacation in April, I don't really need another expense, even if I do put it on one of those 'six month no interest' plans.) I'll watch for some sales closer to my birthday, I think.

My guppies are doing well after the first one croaked suddenly. They gave me a replacement one since it died within twenty-four hours. So now I have a pleco, a platie, a white cloud, two diamond tetras, three neon tetras, three guppies, and a ghost shrimp. One of the neon tetras is going, though; its air bladder is messed up, and is swimming all funky. The platie might be, too; it keeps hiding in the corner, and it never used to. It's not eating well, either. Marvin was worrying me yesterday, but he seems happy again today. He kept sulking at the surface yesterday. Perhaps he just thinks he's not being emo enough.

I need to change and get dressed to go down to Elaine's.
