I have two things left to wrap! Here is what I got the momster for Xmas:

"Fifteen" Puzzle from Restoration Hardware (she wanted it)
$25 B&N gift card
two astronomy magazines
a big star chart that you can take outside
a leatherbound journal with gilt edges
cute little cat stuffed animal
blue velvet purse
cute flannel pajama pants
green Snoopy holiday tshirt (she wanted it)
Rudolph and Clarice action figures (already gave them to her)
mini Boggle game keychain (already gave it to her)

I put the journal and the gift card into the purse. Also, I have to wrap the star chart, which is a little bigger than a regular vinyl record album, and sort of thin floppy plastic. The stocking is stuffed with the magazines, cat plush, and Fifteen puzzle, and the clothes are in a gift bag.

I'm getting ready to leave for the annual family Xmas trip! fun fun. Lots of packing left to do. I'm very scattered mostly because I haven't decided what to wear. Tomorrow it'll probably be a pair of jeans, a red Vneck merino wool sweater, and my punkass studded belt. But I am still undecided, and it's easy to overpack.

Got a present from Miss Xrys today! supercool! it's a book of Japanese street fashion photography. Makes me think of the guy in Kera who was wearing a monkey stuffed animal (you know, the kind they sell everywhere that look like spider monkeys and have velcro on the paws) as a scarf. But I don't think I shall wear the cat (in the same design) that is in my mother's stocking as a scarf tomorrow, since I have a perfectly nice scarf to use as a scarf. (I even made it myself.) Anyway, yay for Xrys and thanks. (She won't get to read this for a while, since she's away.)

The kitties know something is up and are zooming around the house, crying a lot, and wanting lots more attention than usual. I'll miss them but I think they will be OK for two days. They're fine with being alone as long as there is lots of food and water.

I should have Little Boy (the iBook) with me at the hotel, so I'll probably be around at some point tonight or tomorrow (though probably not on AIM). If I'm not, I hope everyone who celebrates it has a nice Christmas. (and I hope everyone who doesn't just has a fun Tuesday!)
