holytoastrJust between ben and I we got a vacuum, a crock pot, a steamer, a toaster oven, pots and pans, a bread maker, and various other kitchen utensils. I was telling ben about it and he pointed out that we now have all our wedding gifts. ^^;
Ben asked me to open his gifts for him, but no one will let me. :( He hates surprises. (Oh, ben, my grandparents got you gifts too for some reason!)
Anyway, Christmas stuff.
Despite the constant terror of my accusative family, it went reasonably well. I got lots of gifts and ate lots of food. Mom made turducken. And I made far too many cookies. (Which all of the small children complimented me on.)
Then there was the usual gossip about other family members behind their back, which I have never liked. I fear the day when the topic becomes me. Though who knows, maybe they already do that about me. I wouldn't be able to find out because it would be behind my back.
Tomorrow I pick up the new car. Then I will hopefully get to see laura! And my grandma is coming over at some point. So yeah, busy day tomorrow too.
And then Tuesday I drive back to Virginia! To start my real vacation, free of terror!
I think I'm going to try to call ben now. He was supposed to call me earlier, but I guess he got busy or couldn't get through on my cell. (This area is so awful for my phone!)
