*waves* I’m wiped out from the past few days – they were fun but still managed to suck the life out of me. It didn’t help that the five year old decided to stay up from midnight until 5am last night. I’m gulping coffee as I write this, because, well, I must write today.
Anyway, I got such fun gifts from ScaryChristmasLarissa and I’ll post pictures tomorrow. Right after she helps me to figure out how to make them smaller.
But first, I have to go oil the high maintenance salad bowl. I know, I know – I wanted the wooden salad bowl, asked for the wooden salad bowl but really, the last my friend could’ve done was either a) warn me just how much work said salad bowl would be or b) done said work before giving me the salad bowl.
See, you have to oil it with a special oil for a week. Every day for a week. I’m on day 3. And, after the week is done, you’ve got to oil it once a month. I’m going to be on a salad bowl schedule, and, as the husband pointed out, if he makes us salad (that’s considered cooking ) he doesn’t make it for just 2 people in a big wooden bowl.
So, what did you get? Good stuff? Any surprises?

Good stuff I got: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and the first season of Remington Steele (*swoon!*) and also books. I also got clothes but I’m not excited about those. :LOL:
Chocolate. Too much.
No surprises here althought I got the complete “Pinky & the Brain” and “Animaniacs” dvd sets. Love those cartoons. I did get the complete novels of Jane Austen so I could look pretentious. Heck, I don’t don’t know how to spell pretentious, well, anyway, it looks right purty on my bookshelf. Oh, and a new crockpot.
A freezer! :bravo: Great gift.
The salad bowl sounds a little intimidating! Good luck.
Tori – I just watched the new Pirates! What did you think?
Sasha – it’s day 5, baby! Only two more to go!!!
Alison – never too much chocolate…
Rene – I haven’t thought about Pinky and the brain in so long!!! It was the only thing on when I used to have to get up with the kid for her 4am feedings
Michelle – I can truly appreciate the freezer thing, as we have a full one in our basement! And the salad bowl is scary…
