I mentioned somewhere in the depths of my last post that I would be summing up the gifts given and received from and by me. Here's what was exchanged

Givings
To: Gaila - Wireless laptop mouse
To: Becca - Large hot chocolate mix
To: Jan - Dozen dark chocolates from Temptations
To: Jason - America (the book)
To: Mom & Dad - Turn table

Receivings
From: Gaila - Oceans 11
From: Mom & Dad

Leather Jacket
Assortment of sweaters
Over-featured laptop backpack (very similar to the one I returned last year, something like a bag for my laptop is a very sensitive purchase for me and it takes lots of consideration and research to find the perfect one)
The Shawshank Redemption
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Apple 17" Studio Display - to be exchanged for 20" Apple Cinema Display

From: Jason - Hero
From: Amaris - The Big Lebowski
From: Amaris' Step Mom and Dad - Hawaiian T-shirt
From: Amaris' Grandparents - Scented candle
From: Amaris' Mom - Socks, giant hersey kiss, assorted candies, orange
From: Amaris' brother (Jeremy?) - Small box of chocolates.

Thank you everyone. It was a little strange to be receiving gifts from people I don't know and who don't know me. I felt a little guilty I didn't get them anything. My parents really loved the turntable. It was almost like I gave them a new computer or something. They immediately had to open the box assemble it and run downstairs to grab some old records to play.

Tonight I have to rebuild my parents' iMac with OS X. Last night it decided not to respond to mouse clicks, plus it will work better with dad's new Palm Pilot. Borders/Amazon double charged me for my brother's gift, so I have to call some people to straighten that out. Tomorrow I am really looking forward to sleeping in. I'll be going down to Des Moines to exchange my display at the Apple Store then head off to Meri's party in State Center.

Have a Happy New Year.

I miss you Gaila!
