How did the $5 gift exchange go?

I started with a shower cap that Laga's mom thankfully wanted, so I got an awesome toy llama...that Laga's sister stole from me, just as she had stolen my Godfather DVDs earlier. So I ended up with a ceramic doggie doorstop.

P-C got the Risk game D brought for the $25 yankee swap. I was suppsed to steal it so we could go home last night & play but when I saw the leg lamp from A Christmas Story I knew it must be mine (it's a major award!) When I told my bro I was so happy with the lamp but regretted I couldn't challenge D to Risk he gave me the old game we used to play with when we were kids. It was a Christmas Miracle! (Then D kicked my ass)

Shoulda used the leg lamp to kick back.

Why didn't I think of that?!

Squeee! Invite arrived. I agree, it looks very cool! Now waiting on boss approval for time off. Otherwise, I might be flying a LOT that saturday. West in the morning, east with the red eye. oy.

I just got invited to ND's bachelor party. I wish you could come.

oooh! i just got a super awesome piece of mail and it is indeed GORGEOUS. and now i know what you mean by "website" for the wedding. Very nice! Must. Start. Planning.

erin, I never heard from you about sharing a room, and I don't have your email. If for whatever reason you'd prefer to share with someone else, that is totally cool. I just wanted to check with you before I talked to anybody else.

If you *are* interested in sharing a room, would you like me to go ahead and reserve it? I need it for Friday and Saturday nights, how about you?

meep, insent! thanks for the reminder :)

Another room booked at the safari! If we ask nicely when checking in, there might be adjoining rooms available....
