dolariChristmas Eve Eve
We spent the evenign with Dean and Jill and exchanged gifts. I got a lovely set of pop rocks, a Dinosaur Comics book, a DVD of A Wish for Wings That Work (the first of MANY DVDs) and a gift card for $20 of groceries. Thanks guys. :)
Christmas Eve/Christmas
We decided to visit family for the Christmas weekend, so with Emily in tow, we headed to San Antonio after work. She and my dad get along WONDERFULLY. They're both train aficionados, and enjoy talking about small town Texas. On top of all that, my dad loves hearing about Canada and Canadians. Dad recieved his laptop, my sister did'nt recieve her gift cards (Ooops, I swear they were in my wallet!), I got to see my Dr. Who scarf being made, and I managed to come home with $320 after it was all over.
Emily got to me nearly all of my dad's side of the family (the small side), and just ONE "node" of my mom's family, which was equal to all of my dad's family (not only are there 14 other "nodes" of her family, they're planning a Fmaily Reunion based on the children of my great grandparents...that's 2000 people, and mom's already had 800 confirmations...Mom's MaidenName Family is MASSIVE). They all loved her, and in turn she was very happy to meet them, I believe.
I even broached some LGBT stuff, lightly, and that I've now been published. I really don't want to merge the Jenn Dolari and Jenn RealLastName lives all that much - but Jenn Dolari has done so much they have't seen, I'd like them to think I'm doing SOMETHING okay.
When I got home, some more presents popped in, including EVERY MST3K EPISODE EVER MADE OF ALL TIME (complete with lovely CD SUITCASE), Emily's gifts of all the Hitchhiker's Guide books, tons of DVDs and a lot of cards. Thank's for everything everyone. ^_^
