Merry Christmas! Yes, we are still here.

I did a sad thing yesterday. I deleted some blogs I had been following. Some hadn't been updated in over a year, so I figured it was time. It was sad! Then I did the same thing with facebook...and now contemplating whether to continue with FB at all. The people I want to talk to, I talk to. The families I want to keep in contact with, I have their blogs and read them regularly. What do you think?

Anyway, we had an amazing Christmas. I haven't uploaded pictures from my camera because I got a cool gift, but I have to do some updating. Now I'm going to tell you an embarrassing story about myself and how shallow I can be. Hope you enjoy it.

K has been telling me how much I will like my Christmas gift from Daddy and her. So they handed me a heavy gift, and I opened a kitchen knife set. I don't think of myself as materialistic, but I was truly not happy. "Knives. You bought me knives." I said. "You don't buy your wife knives for Christmas. You can buy other people knives, but not your wife!" Yes, I have been saying for a long time (like every time I go to use a knife) that I wanted a new knife set. And it's a pretty set...but still. At first I laughed and said, "Oh knives, yeah right..." But then I opened the box, and really, they were knives, and not other gift hidden in the box. I asked K, "Did you know this was the gift?" "ummmmhmmmmmm! Don't you like it? You always say you need knives!" OK then...

So then he hands me this stocking and I open an iPad case. He said, "This is for your laptop." I sort of flung it at him thinking...he screwed up again. "This is for an iPad. I have a MacBook. Two different things." I said. So he left, brought out another present, and said, "Well maybe it will fit this." Yep, I got an iPad.

I feel mostly bad that I was materialistic. I don't feel bad about my reactions because HE SET ME UP! LOL!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Christmas pics coming soon. I have to update my Operating System before my iPad (or his iPod) will work. I didn't realize my MacBook is already 4 or 5 years old (we can't remember!). So when I upgrade, I want to try out iPhoto 11 with my pics.

Here's the happy boy, laughing as I tried to take a picture of him. He'd roll over so I couldn't see his face, then roll back laughing hysterically.
