Guess what I got for Christmas?

HDHusband got me a lot of great books. Which ones? I thought you'd never ask!

The Peabody Sister: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticism (Megan Marshall)

And Their Children After Them: The Legacy of Let Us Now Priase Famous Men: James Agee, Walker Evans, and the Rise and Fall of Cotton in the South (Dale Maharidge)

Interpreter of Maladies (Jhumpa Lahiri)

Proof, A Play (Dave Auburn)

Dinner With Friends, A Play (Donald Margulies)

Clear Pictures (Reynolds Price)

I am looking very much forward to dragging these along with me on our trip this week!

Speaking of books, Kath gave me the Wicked book and CD, as well as a calendar ... so we can figure out a date to go see Wicked when it comes to town! Can't wait!! (and I already finished the book, being stuck in this damn snowstorm and all ... it was great! Highly recommend it, too!)

My in-law's sent me a really nice necklace and earring set. They got it during their Scandavian trip this past year.

My sister-in-law (yet again) bought tons of angel stuff for me. I love angels, I do. I collected them in the 90's. And she makes sure I still collect them.

I took a picture and EVERYTHING, but will Blogger let me upload it? No, not a chance. I'll try again later, beings as how much I love to sit here and curse at the computer.

Laurie was bad ass and sent me an awesome martini set! I will take a photo the next time I make a martini ... as I killed the last of my vodka during the first blizzard.

Fyrchk got me a .... a ... you know, one of those things, that one thing that hasn't been mailed yet because it would only get lost in the mail right now! Effin' snowstorm!!

The big gift, though, was a NEW CAMERA from HDHusband. I have been taking pictures like a bad ass. Prepare for an onslaught of photos from my trip this week! I'll be taking pictures of anything that moves or doesn't, just you watch.

Happy New Year's Eve, and Happy 2007!!
