Christmas Loot
Dec. 26th, 2006 08:41 amYesterday went pretty well... Heidi was happy with her presents, especially with the black MacBook. I'd mostly given her things she'd asked for, but clearly I've been listening better than she expected as she didn't guess most of it. The one thing she hadn't asked for, a full-length memory-foam body pillow, has been approved - she slept very well all night, and the kitten happily cuddled against it.
Ella got the biggest haul of her life. She got cat toys from four different people. All of them make a lot of noise, are fun to knock about, and especially fun to knock down the stairs from the living room into our bedroom. I foresee a lot of noisy wake-up calls in the next few days, until all of them are underneath a piece of furniture where her long paws cannot reach. The one mis-gift was from Heidi's mom: a six foot long collapsible tunnel with cat toys inside and some holes on the sides to peek out of. Ella likes it but there's no way to fit it in a Manhattan apartment.
Heidi got me some things from my list (CDs, textbooks on Hittite history) and a lot of things that I should have thought to ask for but didn't - converse baseball shoes and a bunch of clothes from the Gap. One of these days, I will look less dressed up and dorky!
