Christmas Loot

[La Lioness Priyanka]

So what was you favorite christmas gift?

My MIL got me an aerogarden!

[PeaceNikki]

1. I got

a long weekend to hang out with a cute boy and swim with manatees. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. sounds delightful

i also got this, and am not sure what to do with it esp because i live in a one bedroom

[la_chupa]

2. what are you REALLY growing in that thing?

We both just got new cars so we agreed on a spending cap. I think my favorite thing is a new lamy safari pen. I love those things and must have them when they come out with a new color.

beer, pens, and sports cars should all be German

4. cilantro, green chillies and basil

i put lisa on a $30 budget for my gift.

5. socks and underwear!

woohoo! :P

[la_chupa]

6. I rather like the spending limit thing

I've spent way too much money on christmas before and then you end up with credit card bills eating PB&J for a month. There are times when I've thrown money at a gift because I didn't know what else to do but at the end of the day I'd rather get a $20 thing that someone has really thought about versus a $100 thing that was a panic last minute gift.

although...a well thought out $100 thing is nice too

:bounce:

7. this is why i put lisa on a $30 budget

:)

8. It's a tie between these two:

Flashback to 1926, when the world still was analog:


And 2009 ... They did not have ePaper in 1926:

9. awesome. is that the kindle?

[Call Me Wesley]

13. Yep, the European edition.

Love it! Very nice on the eyes, and we already have way too many books stored here. :hi:

[PeaceNikki]

10. Your Kindle is watching you.

:tinfoilhat:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. i am watching him through his kindle

[Call Me Wesley]

14. That must be pretty boring, though.

Would look like those myFaceSpaceBook profile pictures. You can see right up my nostrils. :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

12. OH NOES!!!111!!!!!

You mean like amazon is watching me if I buy anything from there? Or Google? Or ... this whole internets tubes? :tinfoilhat:

As I said in another thread about it, if this results in pushing up Vonnegut, Burroughs, Bukowski and a few others on amazon.com, my mission is accomplished. ;)

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

15. WOW

[Call Me Wesley]

16. Indeed, I am, and I got some cookies, too. ;)

:hi: Are you on the voyages yet?

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

19. Cookies too? You lucky bastid

We went to Verona already and it was beyond my wildest dreams. Unfortunately I've been sick since Christmas eve and now HerrHerr is sick and so we are done for now. London in January so no complaints.

[Call Me Wesley]

21. Glad you liked Verona,

and here's to a speedy recovery for the both of you! :toast: <--- Glühwein.

Pri!

I got to go to Italy for the first time. Fucking awesome. I got to spend Christmas with my best friend (he flew over here to Germany and leaves on Thursday) and I got a new microwave/grill/convection oven, an ice cream maker, a knife carrier (please pack your bags and go) a Hinkle vegetable knife, and a few other assorted goodies.


:bounce:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

20. I'm gonna post some pictures soon

It was SO beautiful and I feel so grateful to have been able to go. I'm planning my return in the Summer!

[enigmatic]

22. I got one of these

USB Turntable w/ an AM/FM tuner and mp3 player:



I've got a houseful (it seems sometimes) of obscure/weird records to be converted into mp3's so I'm getting crackin as we speak..

[Deep13]

25. Nifty. I'd like to get one for cassettes. nt

[tigereye]

26. wow, that's pretty cool!

[Deep13]

24. Sweetie bought me one of those digital picture frames.

I put a bunch of digital pictures on it and it changes the image every minute. I have it on my desk at the office. Right now I have 61 photos from Boston. They remind me of civilization.

[Fire Walk With Me]

27. The partial release of old, exceptionally painful experiences.

As discussed in the book "The Primal Wound".

Merry Happy to you and yours!

28. lovely Celtic earrings from my son

and a great Irish wool scarf from my husband. Plus lots of jazz books.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. nice

[tigereye]

31. couldn't find the exact ones, but those are similar

every year they go to the Irish Design Center here and get a few things.

30. My mom and dad both gave me awesome gifts - hard to pick my favorite -

Mom gave me a beautiful necklace - it is silver with pearls - very unique

Dad gave me $1,000 - every Christmas he tries to find a different way to present it - sometimes it is cash, sometimes a check, and it is wrapped in a way that makes you think you are not getting money. This year it was all $50 bills in a shirt box. One year it was all $100 bills in a small gift bag, another year it was a check hidden in a book.
