    Seriously, kids, I'm going to try and keep up with this, especially in the new year. Call it something of a resolution I made, partially for a Livejournal community. I need to be kept busy, anyway.

• brown long sleeved shirt (gift from the fashionista niecelings) Old Navy.
• tan tank top (gift from parents) ALLOY
• black trousers (gift from parents) ALLOY
• brown boots (left behind by sister because they hurt her feet, or something, I find them intensely comfy for heels. They make me 6 feet tall! Hott!) Candies.

    Here I am posing up a storm. I was being very America's Next Top Model but I kept laughing so hardly any of the pictures were any good. Shaun likes the ones where I am laughing, of course.

    Here is a sampling of our Christmas haul. Essentially, these are the combined books, movie and video games that we received this year.

    My parents, who went way overboard due to having extra money this year, got me a Dell Notebook (which I'm currently posting from), it's a Latitude D620, if that means anything to you. I'm supposed to use it for writerly pursuits, so far I have surfed the internet, played with Paint Shop Pro and downloaded music. I have MS Office, but I have only opened it to stare at the blank page and feel overwhelmed by its, um, blank pagedness. Alas.

    My parents also gave us their old dining room table. It belonged to my great grandparents and is probably from the 1940s, though it could be older. I remember sitting under it when I was a kid and looking at all of the legs of the adults and twanging a spring that is under it that has something to do with the leaves of it. It has two, they don't insert in the middle, but pull out at the ends. We have one out right now and have set Arkham Horror and the Dunwich Horror expansion up. We needed a big table for board gamery, so we're super happy.

    This is the type of post I would like to make daily here, but I seem to be so... disorganized, most of the time. We'll see how it goes, I guess.

    Here are some more of my Christmas Eve & Christmas photos. If you're curious, there are lots of them in my photos here & on my flickr:

    We signed up for Netflix yesterday and should be getting the Disney Hercules and Disc 1 Vol 1 of Dark Shadows tomorrow. Netflix is amazing. I have a queue that is full of TV series and Shaun has one full of Movies. I think this is an efficient system.

    I haven't been writing here much. I feel overwhelmed, and I don't write about my anxiety here, so I don't quite know what to say right now. I love Christmas. I'm trying to fill myself up with the happy accouterments associated with it, however, the nagging fear of inappropriate gifts and not having the home made ones done in time distracts me. I'm not making many gifts for people. I think I should have started them earlier. I was really encouraged when I did the ornaments for my parents in one day. It has taken me two days to do one ornament for someone else and I'm pretty displeased with the result. I think it was too complicated an idea and I should make something more traditional and less meaningful. I wanted my felt ornaments to be special and unusual and have specific meaning to the recipient.

    I'll leave it at that. I haven't done Clothes Daily (which so many people have said they look forward to) because it is cold and I'm starting to be disappointed in my wardrobe. Unfortunately the current fashions don't encourage me in the task of acquiring a new wardrobe. I still plan on donating a chunk of what I have to the Salvation Army or Goodwill, as soon as I rid it of the cigarette smell it got living at my grandparents house.  I'm also not encouraged to do laundry. My dresser is full of what I consider to be the staples, lots of plain and comfy stuff I'm probably going to keep. I have 5 bags or so of laundry in the closets in the laundry room. I suppose the answer is to start utilizing those closets for clothes as I wash them. It's pretty overwhelming and I don't know if I can stand to be overwhelmed by anything else this month.

    I haven't done Photo Daily because I'm starting to feel a little freaked out about the clutter in my photo folders. I have burned and backed up most of it, but I keep finding myself wanting something that I know is on a disc and not wanting to have to find it. I produce at least a gigs worth of photos every month, often more, so I have to keep it cleaned up. Especially since I am on Shaun's computer. Pretty soon I'll have a laptop, starting from scratch I will try and come up with a really good organazational system. I think this is a Virgo thing.

    Basically I feel jumbled right now and I'm trying not to freak out about anything. Please bear with me, I should behave more normally in 2007.
