Silicone baking thingies. I needed more of those, since I only had the one. Now, I have three. Much better.

A digital photo album frame keychain thingy. Which actually holds more than one picture. I didn't know they held more than one picture.

A magnetic calendar with matching pen. Pretty, pretty green.

Warmstuffs! Something else I'd been wanting, because it gets cold here, and I needed warm things to wear under regular things. And they're black. It's like my mom knows me or something.

Two of the boxes were actually marked with what order in which they were to be opened. This one was heavy. I thought it might be a brick.

File folders. I...guess I needed those.

...wait a minute....

I got a Wii!

I bet I know why this was marked 'open last'....

One of mom's regular tricks. Wrapped stuff inside wrapped stuff....

In the bag are controllers for the NES. I didn't get pictures of those.

Another wiimote, the thingy that goes with it, and a charging station with batteries. All very, very necessary.

...and wow is Wii Sports fun. Especially that part where Gremlin re-breaks his knee getting a little too into the game and swinging the wiimote a little too hard.

I kinda suspected that she was setting me up when she kept hinting that she thought that Dad may've put the wrong chips in my box.

It didn't exactly have the desired result of me getting upset. See, I know my mom too well.

Also, there was this. Which kinda makes the joke fail.

Ooh. Look. Presents....

I'm going to enjoy my chips, and hope Gremlin wakes up soon, so we can do this tonight....

And now, since I need to kill time and not do anything with them, I'm adding stuff to the gallery. Like pictures of my new keyboard.

It lights up. Isn't it neat?

Also, there's some new stuff in the Digicam/2008 album.

That's my hair, all frosted over on that one really, really cold day.

And now I'm going all out of order. This is just a neat picture I managed to get of the moon, and an interesting ring around it.

This is the small 'insta-blizzard' from the 18th. It was pleasant enough when we left the house, and suddenly, there were all these tiny, hard snowballs [they weren't flaky, and they weren't quite ice] coming in sideways.

And this is the new 'open' sign on the church. Tacky....

Each of those should lead to a whole album of other pictures. I want chips now, and cannot be bothered to say much more until I get them.

As for the weather, it's 23, with an 80% chance of snow. Which means I should probably go out there and salt the sidewalk a bit more, so the UPS Man doesn't kill himself [or my stuff] on his way to my door.

Edit: well, that's odd. The Out for Delivery times changed. The 4lb box to 3:55AM, and the 19lb box to 5:28AM. So they're not together.

Stupid UPS.

That doesn't mean much, though. Between the 'stuff could show up well after 7pm' and the impending snow...ih.

And I've got a serious Middleswarth BBQ chip craving.

And they're still together. Yay.

Depending on how things work with them this year, that means I should be seeing them arrive in Commerce City on...Monday, even though they'll probably have gotten there over the weekend.

My next post will probably be about the packages getting split up, or about them making it to the next exciting stop, since they left Williamsport last night.

No mention of a delivery date, though. I don't know if that means they just forgot to register that, or if they just don't know.

...and I'm posting this mostly to try out this 'QuickPress' thing in the dashboard.

Because I was born on the 17th of this month, and my parents still love me.

You're all jealous. I just know it.
