Christmas wrap up

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas (or whatever variation of Christmakwanzakah you celebrate)... as usual, we had a crazy-fun holiday and I was completely spoiled by M and my friends. I know I say this every year, but I totally made out this year! I got a sweet new camera, a car stereo (my current one is in sad shape), jewelry (including a Hello Kitty necklace & a pair of earrings from this line, books*, shoes, and various gift cards/certificates (a local salon/spa, The Body Shop, a few clothing stores, an Indian restaurant in our neighborhood & a voucher for theatre tickets). I also gave myself a beautiful pair of Nine West boots that I have been coveting for months. So, so spoiled. Of course, it's not just all about the presents (there's all that love, bonding, and sharing with friends & family), but really, who wants to hear about that mushy crap? The loot list is far more interesting. ;-)

Unfortunately, I also ended up with nasty cold that kept me inside for three days. It was some seriously icky super cold! In fact, it was so bad that I actually ended up napping for most of the first day, which I rarely do - I think that was my second or third nap of 2010. Thankfully, it's mostly gone now (thanks to an aggressive Umcka & vitamin D routine) and I was given the okay by Dr. M to return to the outside world yesterday (he refused to let me leave the house the previous days). I've also finally recovered from my week of booze and bad food, so I'm once again fully functional. Yay!

*A special thanks to my Booklovers Secret Santa, Jules! I am already devouring the book (well, I'm also sobbing my way through it - the tears were flowing two pages into it!). You picked the perfect book for me!  :-)
