sexyscholarHappy New Year to everyone! I hope you had a merryhappyblessed Christmakwaanzanukah or whichever. Mine was reasonably good, all things considered.
Made the kids happy, which is really what it's all about.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fmh and I stressed and pinched and puzzled about what to get them and how much of this, that and the other thing. We did reasonably well, considering our financial situation, but I've determined that no matter how much we get for them, it's never enough. For us.
I mean, you get in those stores, and you want to get EVERYTHING for them. Every two seconds it was, "Oh, Hoku would love this!" or "Malu would get such a kick out of that!" Kind of depressing. But they were happie regardless, so it was all good.
Even I got some lovely giftses. The Gryffindor scarf and wand fromthatmikeychick, a mix CD tailored to my tastes from teofphiglet, a DVD of "Kikujiro" from dogmeat and a lovely new purse from mi mami and mightyafrodite (which I desperately needed).
Spent a lot of time with family and friends. My parents were down for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and then we went up to Canuckland to seefmh's kinfolk. The kids got loaded down with prezzies again. Excellentness. We had all of our friends over for Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. The best way to spend those kinds of holidays.
So, yeah. Holidaze good. But I'm glad they're over.
Many thanks tomightyafrodite, teofphiglet, shawnj, hexslinger, dadandgirl, crwilley and all of our A2 friends for making our Christmas possible. You saved us. And I thank you.
The stress is reaching critical mass. I'm at the point where I'm relieved I have no money to go out and buy a firearm, because I do believe I would shoot something. Sometimes, when I start getting stupid and thinking the really dark thoughts, I feel like I could turn the gun on myself. But then I realize that I'm being a goof and try to work thru it. Besides, if I did something like that, who would take care of my kids? They've saved my lifed more than once, I tell you.
My hard drive crashed on me a couple of weeks ago, which is one of the reasons I haven't posted in forever. They've got me back up and running, but I have no admin privileges. Which means I can't install most programs. Which sucks and blows. No Photoshop (*sob*). I want to do a layout based on A Series Of Unfortunate Events, but I can't. I can't do a header. Because I have no Photoshop happiness. *sobs again* I can't even install basic things like QuickTime and the newest edition of IE. s0x0r. Need to send a reminder e-mail about this situation. It simply will not do.
If Rupert Grint gets any sexier, I'm going to have to KEEL him. Because this*? This should not sound like porn. But it does. Because he makes it so, that bloody git. KEEL. With sex, of course. But KEEL nonetheless.
*.mp3 file.shocolate, let me know if I need to take this down.
