And a very happy Dec 27 to you all!
Dec. 27th, 2007 11:07 amWell, Christmas has come and, as it is wont to do, Christmas has gone.
I've spent the past several days in the most lazy manner possible, curled up in a corner of my little sofa, reading fic, playing Spider Solitaire and watching DVDs. The downside of all this delightful leisure is some killer neck pain from being all twisted up on the sofa trying to read fic and play Spider Solitaire. I've had to relocate, today, away from the tv and the dvds. *sigh* Oh well, this means I get to stretch out on my little bed to do the same things.
I woke up this morning to the sound of my new coffee maker happily burbling away as it brewed me a fresh, hot pot of coffee. My sister (who had me in the family exchange) got me the perfect little 4-cup, programmable coffee maker. Isn't it cute?
At the moment I'm forced to brew hideous Starbucks blend coffee in it, because that's all that Rite Aid had in decaf style, but that will soon be rectified and then I'll be in real business. *grins*
I got some great stocking stuffers, too.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lyda_pearl spoils me, I think. A book, an evergreen scented candle (made my apartment smell like Christmas), a CD (a Putumayo Kids collection, which I'm eager to take into work), a little puzzle, some cute magnets (with cartoony cat faces) for the fridge and even some chocolate. It was so much fun to open all those things one after another.
Of course, the main point of the holiday, spending time with the family, had to take place more virtually than in reality. Over the past four or five days, I've talked with most of my sisters (I need to calllyda_pearl), my mom and my aunt at least once and some of them several times. I even had a decent phone conversation with Younger Brother, proving that the truce is still in effect.
In other news, as I mentioned in comments a few days ago, I'm actually writing hobbit fic. I've written a little over a thousand words of 'Luster', and one of my goals for today is to make some serious progress on it. I've decided to not post anything until I've got the whole thing finished, but I'm hopeful that this will be done by the weekend. I am quite determined that it not languish as one of those forever unfinished WIPs.
And for those of you who, like me, think Mal is the cutest thing ever (yes, I realize I may be biased on this issue), there will be picspam later.
