living the i-life
santa did *not* stick to the budget this year…

i never really got the appeal of ipods… but now that i have one? oh. my. god. i can transfer thousands of photos onto it. i can put audiobooks and maps on it. i can actually put whole movies onto it. i can put every disc I own onto it.
goodness – it’s a brave new world!
i was sung “happy birthday” at quarter past midnight, a thoughtful touch. chistmas day itself was a bit of a washout. we were up very early, and j and i exchanged gifts, which was lovely. then we headed off to m & a’s for what was meant to be a christmas lunch. Lunch turned into a 7 hour affair, which basically pre-empted our xmas dinner. j was planning to bake a cake for me, but since we didn’t get home until late, that didn’t happen. then we all fell asleep during an evening movie. after phone calls with my family, i crawled into bed.
so today is going to be my alterna-birthday. j attempting to use flour should be funny at least!
will add photos later today… hope everyone is enjoying their holidays!
