Happy New Year everyone! I was a loser who stayed at home and watched ROTK: Extended Edition (which is so incredibly awesome!) to ring in 2005. We’re throwing Alan a 21st birthday party on Monday, so I’m saving my partying for that
I hope that Santa was gracious to everyone. What did you get for Christmas? Here’s what I got:
Pixie
Pink iPod Mini
ROTK Extended Edition DVD
Mortal Kombat: Deception (PS2)
Printer/Scanner
Table
Hello Kitty Calendar
Bikini Line Trimmer
Louis Vuitton Laptop Case (from Will’s parents)
London Checker Dog Tote (from Will)
Pink Handbag (from Will)
Giant Octopus Plush (from Rach)
Pixie got:
Brush and Comb Set
Pink Jacket
I.D. Charm
Rope Toy
Octopus w/Rope Legs
Dog Plush
Treats
Coco got:
Waffle Blocks
Timothy Hay Cubes
Dodo and Neige sent me lovely Christmas cards… I will scan them when I get back to my apartment. Also, Dodo got a ring… she’s getting married! How exciting
I’m so happy for her! I wish William would hurry up and propose to me
but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
If you pray, be sure to pray for those involved in the tsunamis. This disaster has made me wake up and realize how blessed I am. If possible, try to donate.
I wanted to test out my new Multi-More Hack, so I’m going to post my New Year’s Resolutions below:
Make Straight A’s
Quit Procrastinating!
Study More
Attend church more regularly

Happy Birthday Renay! (1/2/05)

I think your way is a great way to ring in the New Year…I’m not much for going out on New Years Eve myself so it sounds great to me! In fact…I’m lucky I even stayed up until midnight…yes, I’m that lame! Anyway, Happy New Year and I hope you had a great Christmas, too.

Don’t feel bad about not going out. I’ve been living up here for ten years and I have yet to hear even a single shotgun go off at midnight.
Glad you had a happy christmas. (And yay ROTKEE!)

Hey, love the new layout and happy new years. Uhm, but does that plush “octopus” look very similar to a spider or is it just me? Does it say octopus on the tag? I think it might be a spider. Its legs are very spidery… does anyone else see the resemblence??

Well, I’ve seen some cute spider dolls with just two eyes (keep it simple for the kids)… but the legs of the doll are like pointy… maybe its just me…

bubs, i’d love to figure out how to do gravatar for b2 but i don’t know what version you are using? i’d like to test it on your blog if you give me access. email me. btw, i think it’s time for you not to post your commenters’ emails. it’s not necessary. i would not like my email addy to be publicly accessed. so if you’d modify my other comment, that will be great.

I’ll email you asap! Thanks a bunch.

You’re lucky, I wish I had stayed home for New Years. Instead I went to a friends where a drunken imbicile tried to paw all over me *shudders* and
it’s good to see I’m not the only one who gets their critters christmas presents. Glad you had a good one and I hope you have many more!
