no more angsty posts

Christmas gave me a pretty good haul - Mark got me a Wacom tablet, my sisters gave me Scrabble (except no one ever wants to play with me anymore because I always beat them), the Wu-Tang Clan Manual, the Annotated Brothers Grimm, Scrubs, Season 2, which I should watch, and a Snoopy cup with hot chocolate. I am still owed presents by a few people, and will be exchanging gifts with some friends this week, so there's more to come.

I really do love this time of year.

I should mention a really funny exchange I had:

My niece got a Barbie makeup set, and was playing with it. She put some nail polish on the girl twin, and the boy twin pipes up with, "I want makeup, too!"

My sister says, "No! That's for girls! Boys don't wear makeup!"

Me (because I am evil): "Sure they do."

Her: "Not this one!"

Me: "You never know."

Other funny quotes from the weekend, from the mouths of the kids:

"I peed in my pants a little."

"X is a lazy farting elephant." There were a lot of fart and poop jokes coming from an eight-year-old girl.

"Ew, Mom and Dad are going out on a date!"
