I'M GRAPE JELLY- ALWAYS AROUND & ALWAYS THE SAME
If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me. For I must be traveling on now. Because there are too many places I've got to see. -Allen Collins & Ronnie VanZant
My favorite verse!
DH got me a brand new Droid X (which I'm super excited about. I just wanted whatever free phone we could get from Verizon that was better than the cheap thing I had... I was STOKED!) And a thong from Victoria's Secret... which was bizarre. LOL!
My Mom got me some Bare Essentials make up, Super Mario Bros and Just Dance 2 for the Wii. (And the Toy Story 3 game for the Wii...but I"m giving that to the kids- lol!)
Pedicure gift card (at the nice place, not my usual cheapy one), laptop case, new wireless mouse, in-shower electric razor, 5 new books, cardigan, horrid pair of elastic waisted mom jeans from my mom (I immediately told her 'no, may I have the receipt, please'), socks, Crate and Barrel gc from the brother and his wife

A charm for my pandora bracelet from the inlaws. DH and I don't exchange gifts. We haven't been to my mom's yet, but I'm guessing a pandora charm as well. It's the easiest thing to get me and I'm happy about that.
Kindle, Garmin, Coach Purse, remote for my DSLR, gift card to a camera store, Sephora Gift card. ?More tonight from the in-laws and more again tomorrow from my parents.
Couple of bracelets and a pair of earrings from my dh plus some professionally framed photos of the kids. A stocking full of good chocolate and a couple of small gadgets.
We won't do Christmas with the extended family until next week but I already know that my mom got me a new laser printer that I asked for and some new make-up. I'll probably get a one or two other small things when we get together with that side of the family.
iPhone, iPhone book, Ugg slippers, MAC giftcard, Nike chip for my sneakers to track how far I am running, holder for Nike chip, flannel sheets, pj's, Victoria Secret underwear (in my stocking), Crabtree and Evelyn gift set, shoes, money from Grandparents and a DVD
My DH surprised me with a wireless mouse for my laptop. He usually doesn't get me anything, and even if he does, I figure it out long before he gives it to me. He was very sneaky this year.
I also got cash (yay!), gift cards, a 16 GB flash drive, a shopping trip from my mom, sleep pants, TONS of gluten-free mixes...and a bunch of other small things that I can't remember at the moment.
DH got me a new sketch pad & set of nice drawing pencils & charcoals
Gift cards for crafts & home improvement places, pots & pans, some fiesta ware serving bowls, fiestaware colored kitchen towels & stuff, enough $ to put DS in gymnastics and get DH & I a netbook or cheap laptop. (I decided we're making our kitchen bright 40s/50s fiesta mod. If I have to be in there, dammit it's going to be bright & cheerful)
Favorite thing I got? A nap. DS has been a mess, I got maybe 30min sleep xmas eve.
A new lens for my camera, a Keurig (my new lovah), a down vest and a griddle from my parents, and some other odds and ends (yarn, socks & panties, candy, etc.). My brother and SIL gave us admission to CoCo Keys Water Resort...that's exciting and should be some good family fun!

Ethan made me a necklace. He made it about a week ago on his own and wrapped it himself. He was so proud to give it to me. I don't really think it could get any better than that.
Keurig, some new tops, new dslr to replace my crap point and shoot, new knife, one of those In Styler things, (not sure if I like it though) . Some new kitchen utensils, spoons, spatulas, tongs. Still one more Christmas to go next week.
Keurig, Ann Taylor CG, Amazon GC, kindle GC, multiple Visa GC, 3 dff mag subscriptions, i-pad (yay!!),new otter box for my i-phone, sweaters, scarfs, spa stuff, ulta GC and my most favorite of all diamond stud earings DH picked out they are beautiful and I was so very suprised
It was a Harley kind of Christmas for me. Joe got me a Harley purse (which I NEVER thought I would like but he did a good job picking it out -- I actually really like it. That and I impressed myself at how mature I was this year and was actually THANKFUL for the purse/sentiment and wasn't all snobby and like "Why isn't it Coach/Vera?" Believe or not, that's huge for me! Feels awesome!) And he knows me so well that he got me a matching wallet (I'm all about matching accessories!)
Anyway, he also got me 4 new long sleeved Harley shirts and a new Harley sweatshirt (which is off white with a black print on it and it's gorgeous!).
Some new slippers, 2 DS games (Deal or No Deal -- he knows me too well!). Bath & Body....hhhmmm, what else was in there (that was stocking stuff)?! Oh, and I had bought myself a new pair of Harley boots on girls weekend so he paid my sister for them yesterday (I had put them on her charge card).
I could also "scam" a Kindle right now. He knew I wanted one but he's not technologically inclined AT ALL and didn't/doesn't know how to order one. So if I told him I wanted one right now, he would say go ahead (he actually told me last night I could order it). But I'm not sure we have the $250 to spend right now (I would get the $190 one and then would want the leather cover w/light so we are up to $250). We are leaving for a Vegas trip on 01/26 and I just paid for Cirque tickets and our hotel room the night before leaving and I have to book a limo tomorrow for the ride from the airport to the hotel so.....

So far nothing. One of the many drawbacks about being a single mom. I'm sure my ex-in-laws bought me something, but I just haven't been there yet.
Christmas 2011
Photo editing software, gobs of cute socks, necklace, sweater and gift cards.
V - congrats on the maid!! ENJOY!!!
I got a video camera - kinda like a Flip camera, but it's waterproof so I can use it in the pool. Cool!!
Also got one of these mugs:
Some knock-off Uggs, a new wallet, PJs, slippers, and other little things.
Couple of bracelets and a pair of earrings from my dh plus some professionally framed photos of the kids. A stocking full of good chocolate and a couple of small gadgets.
