Well, I guess I made it through another Christmas... sorta.

See, I still have a lot of Christmas left.  I have Christmas with my mother's family this coming weekend.  So while I have most of my gifts, I don't have all of my Christmas in place yet.

Ah gifts.  See, I tend to be happy with what I have, and I also tend to buy myself whatever the hell I want, so I am not an easy giftee.  In fact, I'm downright frustrating to buy for, and if you ask me to give you a list, you will either be sorry or you will not get a full answer from me, simply because I don't know.

But this year, I'd purposely not been buying what I need: I hadn't bought the Studio MX software package.  For one thing, it's hideously expensive, and for another, it's hideously expensive.

So I asked for that.  And I got it.  My parents rock.  I now have the tools I need to make a really flashy website.  I recommend sunglasses by your monitor, because I'm going to be playing with webdesign, baby!  CSS will be my bitch by February!

Or not.  That shit's hard.  But maybe by April.  Or May.

Other gifts?  Clothes and more clothes.  And a CD player for my shower.  Apparently, my sister, when she visits, would rather hear Madonna sing her hits while I'm showering instead of me.  Of course, nobody sings Express Yourself like I do.

I work Thursday and Friday and then I'm off to the Houston area, where there will be more holiday goodness.  I'll get back just in time for New Year's, which is always fun with me around.  More on that later.

Have a great day!
