Okay, I’m swiping Sybil & Co’s idea<\/a> for a day, because I’m terribly tired, terribly lazy and I desperately need to get some work done but I don’t wanna neglect the blog, either.<\/p>\n

So… 12 presents I’ve bought in the last few days (I’ve done some serious damage to my bank account the last few days)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Spongebob Operation game. I’m not<\/em> a Spongebob fan. The kids are and I swear, the longer that goofy show plays, the more my IQ drops. But this game isn’t for them… it’s for the bratlet’s best friend and her brothers\/sisters. \ud83d\ude09 Let her mama suffer the annoyance.<\/li>\n
  2. A Cabbage Patch doll for the local “elf” tree…kind of like the Salvation Army angel trees… you adopt an ‘angel’ and buy them a few presents. A local shelter does an elf tree instead.<\/li>\n
  3. A Dale Earnhart Jr sweatshirt. For another elf.<\/li>\n
  4. A Cabbage Patch newborn doll for the baby bratlet. She loves baby dolls.<\/li>\n
  5. iTunes gift card for the DH.<\/li>\n
  6. Dick’s Sporting Good’s card for the DH from the kids.<\/li>\n
  7. Stars Wars ‘laptop’ learning game… but this isn’t a Christmas present. There’s a b-day party for the monster’s best friend on Sunday. Oye.<\/li>\n
  8. Books~ for the sitter and also for a friend of mine.<\/li>\n
  9. Gift cards to Borders for my nieces and nephews. Man, the DH thinks that’s a goofy gift for kids. Sniff. *I* love gift cards to bookstores. Besides, two of them are seriously into readings, and the rest of them ought to be. Heh heh heh<\/li>\n
  10. Bath and body set for my dad’s girlfriend.<\/li>\n
  11. “Decorate your own jewelry box” craft thing for the bratlet’s best friend.<\/li>\n
  12. Gift basket that I filled for my grandma…she is hard<\/em> to buy for. Bought her a big stoneware bowl, one of those ‘gift’y looking mixes, this is for chicken noodle soup~she likes soups, and a framed picture of my kids.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Since I’ve still got some spare copies of Hunter’s Salvation, I’m going to do a contest. What’s the best present you’ve ever received? My best ever…man, I’ve had some really good ones. But I think pretty much one of my faves is this 2 foot tall faerie statue that my husband gave me for Christmas, I think it was last year…I love that faerie.<\/p>\n

    I’ll draw a winner from among the commenters here in the next few days and the winner’s name will be posted here on the blog. As always, you can comment as often as you like, but your name\/IP addy only gets entered into the draw one time and you do need to check back to claim your prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
