Merry Christmas to US!!

I had a great Christmas. Any day where I have Husband all to myself where he doesn't have to go to work or to school is a good day! It was also a good day because Husband indulged all of my wild requests, including getting up before 6am to open presents. He then made breakfast and later on served me some of his homemade cheesecake. That night, he also made the meal I wanted - steak with shrimp scampi, garlic mashed potatoes, and lima beans (I have this thing for lima beans since I've moved to Texas. I could eat them EVERYDAY).

We also made a visit to Husband's mother at the hospital wherein we found out that her dietitian has NOT been okaying the contraband food we have been bringing her. She also asked when we were going to have babies (she is convinced that we are going to have a baby girl) and then was shocked when Husband told her that we couldn't have babies because we didn't know how to make them. Maybe you had to be there, but it was funny.

Husband got several Jack Bauer relics for Christmas including a weapons bag, a Jack Bauer t-shirt, and a scope. We further indulged his need for violence with the Rocky collection (he says that even if we have lots of little girls, they are going to have to watch it everyday so that he can pass on the Rocky legacy), and "The Kingdom", where things get blown up and people get shot. Husband was not happy about me taking pictures when his "hair was all jacked up".

As you can see, I made off with some pretty good presents of my own. I'm obsessed with video games that can also help me exercise (Lord knows I need it). I'm having a hard time with the xBox 360 Dance Dance Revolution because I can barely figure out how to start the game (and also because most of the songs are from Japanese artists and as much as I love Japan, I DON'T love Japanese pop music). Husband bought me a game to go with the Wii where you can karaoke, dance, and even make your own dance videos. You can bet that everyone will hear about my triumphs...and I'm sure that the next door neighbors are THRILLED with my noise making presents.
