really, this is next year's christmas list. i already sent in my this year's list of 2 things in november, which included "socks" and one other thing that i cannot remember for the life of me. it's easy to search for good gifts (for yourself and others) when you are DONE WITH SCHOOL FOREVER. or at least, a few weeks.

yesterday was my last final and our adorable apartment gift exchange and smoothie party. it was a christmas- tropical style. sara gave us each a rock, dirty spoon, and used battery because she didn't have time to get "real" presents. we were all touched by the thought. my other presents were "the devil wears prada" DVD (which we watched immediately after our last finals to celebrate) and a stapler with multi-colored staples!!! (sort of an "inside joke")

right now i am off to meet the lovely erin and then i will beat MYST with scott and decorate our christmas cookies with mum/kate and hang out with the cousins. really, all i am worried about at this point is whether or not my family still has their MVP membership at hollywood.
