I got to watch our two kids open their millions of presents (I snuck a children's book on carnivorous plants in there. Ssssneaky, ssssneaky hobbit!) On Christmas Eve, we found a nice house in the jungle for sale. Today, my d. paradoxa bloomed for the first time, and my bical is hatching a new pitcher. Oh yes, and my parents sent me a large bucket of Gummy Bears (I'm 41 years old, mind you).

That was it.

What the hell more could I probably ASK for??

Hans @ hoping everyone else was as lucky as me
SMOF (SentiMental Old Fart)

Nah J/K! I did get to speak with my grandfather who lives in Arkansas for the first time in my life today. There wasn't anything exciting to talk about but now I know he has a voice. I still haven't ever seen a picture of him though.

Hey Grim what're you gonna be molding and casting?! I'm intreagued! Did you get Smooth On products or stuff from Monster Makers?

Two Fleeces. Which, while comfortable, leave me slightly dissapointed in light of the fact that I already own two fleeces (note to self: screw subtlety, drop more hints next year

).

Of course, the 20 inch flatscreen TV leaves me unable to complain

Oh... I got a giant pot I'm going to attempt a pond garden with. If that doesn't work, it becomes a bog.

No CP's....BUT I did get a rather nice check from Daddy-deep-pockets, which I will spend on some plant stuff.

Prince of Persia 2
Rise to Honor (that Jet Li game)
X-men: Evolution

DVD of Trans-Siberian Orchestra - awesome!

The latest Terry Brooks Shannara book (forget the title off hand)

Some clothes (boring, but nice)

chocolate flavored cigars (not chocolate, they're real cigars, just sweet and chocolaty) - VERY NICE.

BEST part was watching all the booty come in for Miranda...I won't have to buy her toys or clothes all year!

Aside from the usual clothes and gift cards / certificates, my fruit fly infested daughter go me a copy of Savage Garden. Wooo Hooo! In honor of my friend, Bugweed, I am going to read the book to my plants. I should supplement it with reading Barry Rice's FAQ! I also have a gift card from Borders that I will put toward ordering a copy of Carnivorous Plants Of The World. Next is Australian sundews and Taylor's book on Utrics.
