So, I received a lovely card and a check from my Mom. Also got another card and another check from my in-laws.

Hubby bought me a very pretty charm which is heart-shaped and says "Love" on it and the most beautiful, mushy, lovey-dovey card ever. He took me out to dinner at Chef Wang's, our fav Chinese buffet (he weasled out of the Red Lobster I wanted, but this was good too).

UPS has been trying to deliver a package for three days. It boggles the mind that they come back every day at the same time even though they know no one is home. *boggle* It may be from my sister.

Oh, and I bought myself a birthday gift which should be here soon (before I got any birthday money from anyone) and it is season one of "The Muppet Show" on DVD. W00T!

My hubby and I must have been very good this year, because we had a bountiful Christmas! I received a sewing machine of my very own which I had asked for, a fabulous HP, PoA framed film cell collectible with a photo of AR as Snape which was also autographed (SQUEEEEE!), a cute teddy bear dressed as my favorite NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon and all kinds of gift certificates to assorted restaurants and stores both on and off line. With one certificate, I pre-ordered HBP for both me and my son...so only had to pay part of the cost for one!

We opened all of our gifts from out of town and to each other on Christmas morning. It took us over an hour!! After that, I made a hash brown casserole to take to the in-laws as our contribution to Christmas dinner. I also packaged up and took over a bunch more of the stuff I had baked--trying to get rid of it!

We drove over and opened more gifts--I can't remember everything we received, it was just too much. Then we had a Christmas dinner and hung out visiting for several hours until we finally went home after 7. All in all a lovely Christmas day--even if I couldn't be with my family.

I received a disk of photos from my Dad, as soon as I download some of them I'll post the recent pics of my grandbabies. They are so cute!!

I also worked on my KA Christmas challenge fic, which is still NOT finished, but will be soon. And I added another part to the KA group fic which is coming along really well!

It's funny how when I start out, I think I've got a ton to type, but then when I am actually typing, it turns out not to be so much.

I'm back at work, so I'll sign off. If I think of more, I'll update again later.
