I can't wait for the holidays this year, even though I have like practically no presents coming to me. Me and another friend who are celebrating Hanukah decided to swap gifts this year with a $20 limit. I still need to decide what to do for her. I did get like $30 in some pink yarn and was considering making a scarf but that would take a bit longer then a week. I may still make her the scarf anyways, but I need to find something cute to get her.

My mom and dad are having hard wood put into their house and it was taking a long time so they decided to come visit me and stay for a long weekend. They are leaving as I type this. It was so nice to have them stay with us for such more then 2 days for once. They have only visited twice before, when i got my AA and when I got my BA. Both weekends full of stress and all that kind of stuff. This was a nice stress free visit! It still went by very fast.

Jesse, myself and the animals all slept together on the floor of my craft room. Here is a cute photo of us all sharing a can of Tuna and triscutes around midnight last night.

We gave mom and dad our bedroom so they could have a decent bed to sleep on. The first night on the floor (well on a blow up bed) was horrific, but by 2 nights ago we switched to the floor and slept much better. Tala slept on a chair above our heads, with the dogs at our feet or beside us.

Mom and dad also brought there animals, my old dog Macgyver and BooBoo the Hymilian.

From the left is Willow, MacGyver in the center, and Toby cuddled at my right. I can't remember when or why I fell asleep on the floor in my husbands office, but apparently the dogs liked the idea. I love when Toby cuddles like a little boy with me. Poor MacGyver has stopped eating most things and is nearly skin and bones. My mother and I are very worried about him. He stopped eating after he had a very bad tooth removed about 2 months ago. He will eat things, but he's beyond picky and changes his mind from hour to hour. I picked out MacGyver for my 16th birthday. He's my very first original dog, and I wish he would live much much longer. They have tested him a million times and found nothing wrong with him.

So yeah that's that catch up, sorry if I havn't replied to any Solid Socks emails. I'll check them soon and add an update, I saw a few finished pair! You guys better work, you only have a week or so left! I am going to work on my solid sock this week (I finished the trekking sock excluding closing the toe).

In Lendrum news, I do indeed have $400 in money from presents, but I spent that much on new bedding for the king bed so now I am kinda depressed. But I would have spent that money on the bed regardless of the holidays or not. So should I say that $400 is gone now, or should I say I can still spend it?? It's still on the coffee table!
