Random Things in My House, Part II
Dec
'07
In Part I, you saw a bunch of random stuff that I felt like taking pictures of even if you didn’t want to see them. In Part II you’ll get some of that, but I’ll also be filling requests.
Hev asked how many piles of books I have, and even though it wasn’t specifically a request for pictures, I took on the task anyway. Below you will see all my stacks of books, though not including those which are haphazardly stacked in front of books on my bookshelves.
LJ friend Malantha asked for the inside of my shower so I’ve taken pictures of the curtain and the tub.
Amanda asked about the top of my bedside table, my biggest mess and my shower curtain (a wish which has already been fulfilled).
Since there weren’t a lot of requests, I took pictures of my Christmasy things since Christmas is still in the air.
Thank you for all the beautiful cards!
An ornament from my ornament swap…
…And the other beautiful one that I received.
I made gingerbread cookies!
Naked gingerbread men!
These are the sad burnt ones which I couldn’t do anything with.
Well, I tried anyway.
Yes, only 12 of them made it out alive. And they’re all so HAPPY.
Delicious.
I’m also taking this opportunity to show off some of my awesome Christmas presents. Don’t look at any of the pictures below if you might go into fits of jealous rage because Amanda made me a booksafe and she didn’t make you one (nevermind that you don’t know her).
Charlie Brown Christmas on DVD. Legends of Literature. Haruki Murakami: Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman (which I already own, oops!), A Wild Sheep Chase, Underground, Dance Dance Dance. Amo, Amas, Amat, and More. The 1,000 Journals Project.
My new laptop! Omigod! THE MONITOR WORKS, isn’t that awesome? Plus, an advantage that Richard pointed out: There isn’t small globs of cake hidden between the keys! Also, yes, I did blot out his leg.
Still have to go to Mom and Dad’s house to give their presents (and receive others, I presume), but I still can’t believe Richard got me a new laptop!
What was your favorite gift received for Christmas? And your favorite gift given?
On another related note (which, by the way, is very rare, because usually “on another note” refers to something that is unrelated but which train of thought somehow connected the two notes), I would like to eventually upload a section under the “about” link which displays the rooms and details of my apartment. Would you like that?

We something in common. I have piles of books all over my house. Plus, I have big plastic storage boxes that you buy from Wal-Mart full of books.
Your gingerbread cookies look yummy.
Let’s see my favorite gift was my three books. Surprised, eh?
You got a new laptop!!! Way to go. Give that boyfriend of yours a big old hug for that one. He is definitely a keeper, lol. Just kidding. That was really nice of him. Boy, I wish my male friends would buy my a new computer. Though I almost got Jock to buy me a Wii for my xmas, but he decided with my seizures it wouldn’t be a good gift. So I am still without my Dancing with the Stars Wii game and Wii console, lol.
I am so glad that your Christmas was good. Just remember to have a safe New Year while you are at it.

I love the pictures! ^_^ Especially those of your piles of books
Hmmn..maybe I should take pictures of my own piles. haha. I’m afraid my bookshelves are about to topple over from the weight of my collections.
Those gingerbread men are so cute! I wanted to make some for Christmas but our oven still hasn’t been installed
I hope you had a great New Year’s Eve! I wish you a fantastic 2008!!! ^_^
