loot, extended

[juldea]

Guess I should catalog the entire gathering, eh? Especially since I have nothing better to do at my grandfather's house at 1:15am on Christmas Day. (Thank $DEITY he has a computer and "Wal-Mart Connect" dialup service, at least.)

Above(Below?)-mentioned Longfellow book

$200 in cash and money orders

Old Navy velour hoodie and pants in black. Wearing those now. Mmm. :)

Hat, glove, and scarf set in green, beige, and green/beige stripe, respectively. My sister brought up having the gift receipt if I wanted to return them, which I would like to do, but I still feel socially unacceptable telling her so. Sigh. It's not that I don't LIKE them, I just have all the hats, gloves, and scarves that I need, and I'm sure I could find something else at Target to use the credit for.

3 Christmas ornaments for future tree

chocolate chip cookie dough mix in decorative tin

Warming weighted pillow neck massager thingy.

Lord of the Rings: Final Battle of Middle Earth Gift Pack (action figures.) I am stupid, stupid, stupid for opening this, because I don't intend to keep it, and now it's not in perfect condition anymore. Ah well.

A box of chocolate-covered cherries, which I shared with the rest of the family out of my kind, sharing soul, not at all because I really don't like cherries. Really.

Other various candies. They were in my stocking, so they count as gifts.

Whatever was supposedly mailed to me this week from my father. Perhaps more money. londo, have you been checking the mail?

So, $200. All the gifts I bought, which were $100 total, were bought on my credit card, so I can use that cash to immediately pay those off. Then I'm torn between the practical thing to do (use the other $100 on the card as well) and the impractical thing to do (splurge on something!) Well, there's also the mostly-practical thing to do, which is use the money towards something I'd buy anyway when I had the cash. Hrm.

Oh, right. New userpic, ganked from jmspencer. I liked it too much to let it go. :)

Good, good. Make a bad pun worse.

Love the icon. Merry Christmas.

[etherial.livejournal.com]

That is a fantastic icon. I'll drag you out like a bad "Home of the Brave" anyday.

[eustacia42.livejournal.com]

wow, well done! All i got was $25, a $50 dillard's gift card, a couple of chocolate bars, a hat and scarf, and "fiddler on the roof" dvd. lol

Getting old sucks at christmastime!

.........woooow. No words.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Mmm, chocolate....

[oddharmonic.livejournal.com]

I think I love you.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

I had a similar reaction, except with 'hate' ;)

[etherial.livejournal.com]

Baby, you can love me anytime. I'll have you accenting the wrong syllable in the Hallelujah Chorus.

[etherial.livejournal.com]

Ah! Friends-Circle Alert!

How do you know judecorp and juldea?

[juldea.livejournal.com]

She knows me through tinder, who was one of my high-school boyfriends in Oklahoma. She was on HIS friends' list, said interesting things, I added her. Or perhaps vice-versa, I don't really remember.

I don't know this other person.

[etherial.livejournal.com]

I didn't say you knew Jude. But Oddharmonic does, and that's weird.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[oddharmonic.livejournal.com]

I would say I know them because I was born and reared in Massachusetts and therefore know everyone in the state, but that's not true. *laughs*

I met judecorp through solcita, whose husband was stationed at the same base as my then-husband; we met through a North Carolina military wives' mailing list before she sent me an invitation to LiveJournal. I first saw Jude commenting to Sunnie's journal and thought she sounded interesting, plus I lived in Blackstone for awhile and would have attended Mount if my family hadn't moved to Colorado.

juldea I know through tinder, who I've known online for about ten years (and no longer remember how we met) and, again, he was among my first LJ friends.
