What did you get for Christmas?

[HipGnosis6]

I got a nice little point-and-shoot type digital camera, a paper cutter, and new pajamas.

My mom got a new Toyota Scion. Goodness knows she deserves a new car!

I got a photo from my very talented photog step daughter, fun t-shirts, work out gloves (for my new strength training program), See's candies, body butter, CDs and best of all... muscle supporting running tights that are supposed to reduce fatigue on my long training runs for IM, (from my DH).

I cleaned up. Guess I was a good gril this year. Or maybe I was so bad, I was good.

DH got me an Everlast 75 pound heavy bag! Yay!! I can kick and punch in my own basement as soon as we figure out where/how to hang it! and boots, a great necklace, a cute t-shirt, and a sleeman's glass he got for free for buying two sleeves of Honey Brown at the local pub. His sister gave us wine and an electric wine opener. Cool stuff!

And tomorrow we'll start on the gift for each other. Tomorrow we start to prep the kitchen and dining room and go buy the paint! We've got a week off, we might as well get something great done, right??

And it was nice that the family that showed up were gracious, enjoyed the meal, didn't do anything crazy confrontational, and they left by 8:00 pm! YAY!!

We have turkey leftovers, we have turkey leftovers. happy dance!

Hugs and butterflies to you all,
~T~

I posted mine goodies down in the triathlon site...my Dh rocks..I got a new Titus Racer X just 8 weeks ago, so I was expecting some little stocking stuffers. Instead he really hooked me up with some great gear.

Two books on training and nutrition
New cycling jerseys
new Timex ironman watch
CW-X running tights

And the promise to go triathlon wetsuit shopping.

The best part is the show of support. He is starting to make noises about having to get in the pool and train with me, we have an I jump, you jump approach to racing. If I do a triathlon, he is going to train and do it with me.

Thanks Santa!!!

I got a waterproof digital camera--nice compact size for taking along in a handlebar bag--a silver-and-gold charm for my charm bracelet, and a leather motorcycle jacket--a nice, eclectic assortment. It was a lovely Christmas day, with a two-hour bike ride, dinner with one group of friends, and games after dinner with another group.

We are pretty low-key around my house...

• My stepmom knitted a hat for me...
• My sister gave me a pair of socks...
• My mom gave me oranges, some goat cheese, and some REALLY good chocolate...
• My father-in-law gave me two bluebird houses (that he made)...
• DH gave me six truffles and some dark chocolate "bark" with almonds, a can of shaving cream, and a tube of toothpaste (he found those in the bathroom - needed some 'filler' to complete my stocking)!

I finally got my Sidi Genius' !!!!!
and new pedals for the Bianchi..(upgrading)
Of course, living in Porland, my riding is on my trainer, but I am loving them so far!

I wasn't good enough to get my new bike. I figured my income tax for next year and realized we are not getting a return for the first time in 4 years. We had planned to be buying me a bike this weekend, but realized we have to save for taxes. Boohoo. Unfortunately, we also owe the apartment we just moved out of for carpet. They are taking us to the cleaners, so two big bills erased my bike dreams.

Santa was still pretty nice to me:
*Gift card to bike shop from the in-laws. I have to split it with DH, what were they thinking?
*Gift card for work clothes from same in-laws
*Money from other set of in-laws (sometimes it pays to have a DH w/ divorced parents)
*Some pajamas and a shirt
*A jersey from my folks
*Another bike shop gift card from my big brother
*Cozy socks (love warm feet)
*Money from two grandmas tired of shopping.
*DVDs from MIL
*A turning cake stand and cake decorating tips!

DH and I bought ourselves a house so he didn't do much this year but it was perfect:
*A wool beret
*2 CDs

Sounds like everyone had a great holiday!

I spent the day with my mom. We went to my ride friends' house... it was great!

Lessee here... I got a gorgeous LARGE red vase for the hearth (gotta go buy ting ting for it...http://www.pier1.com/catalog/product..._view=search);

got 2 large red candleabra for the new mantle I gave me... LOL!

TWO new bird houses WOOT and a new feeder on a tall post! I'm a nature/bird freak so these are perfect gifts for me... oh yeah, and a 20lb bag of bird seed with the feeder ,

a Nesting Wreath from my ex-FIL ,

a new coffee maker (Starbucks stock is gonna drop... sell people, sell quick! )

and I'm looking for another dog to give to my Pug, Magnus... He needs a furry companion to run in the yard with. I will take him to meet a 10 month old Labradoodle the rescue has this weekend... lord help me. A 10 month old. I must be nuts. Don't know if she's coming home or not yet... but I DO know the right rescue will find us...

I spent the morning with my DD, DSIL and grands. That is always the best! The kids just had a ball! The house looked like a toy store exploded! But after a couple of hours, I got to go home! And spent the afternoon/evening with my sweet S/O
Here's my list:
*Beautiful cowl (?) neck Ann Taylor sweater from my daughter
*re-gifted (but told beforehand - and it was a bit of a gag) sunflower electric candle warmer! from dd & family
*calendar/picture cube cup for my desk from dd & family
*several little skin care items from Restoration Hardware from dd
*Absolutely beautiful yard art blue heron from DSO (which is going to live on my hearth)
*Pink and strong Chris King headset (for my new Gunnar bike that will be ordered in a couple of weeks) from DSO
*Pink and Strong CK water bottles from DSO
*My favorite fragrance - Kenzo D'Ete - from DSO
*Several other little bike necessities to help set up my new bike.
*Bed buddy - a moist heat/cold thingy that you can nuke and put on aching necks or other sore muscles (I've been having stress-sore neck issues lately) also DSO
*10 POUNDS of pink M&M's! (yep) from - of course - my sweet DSO
*and last, but not least another 5 POUNDS of chocolate covered dried fruit and Lindt truffles!

So girls, I'll be needing to ride LOTS in order to be able to enjoy those luscious candies!
