I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have no idea what to get my mother for Christmas.

I got mine a ship in a bottle? (She'd admired it when she was here last.)
My SIL is bugging me for what I'd like. I told her when I get a house, she can come out and help me pick colors and paint and put things up. Our tastes in stuff are different, but she really has a knack for arranging stuff, picking colors out so that they look right in a room and actually likes to do it. Whereas I'm all "Just put it up/away!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I got mine a frying pan. She said she needed one, over Thanksgiving. Oh, and also a corny book.

I got my mom Obama's Dreams From my Father and Barbara Walter's new bio.
And...American Apparel has men's pink tube socks, and they have a store here. Yay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know what we got my mother. I was in charge of father. He's getting a leather-bound Levenger journal. For his writerliness.
I'm watching Catwoman. I hadn't considered how much it could suck, and how ludicrous Halle Berry could look. It's embarassing.

I'm doing a lot of my shopping in B'ham. Less to carry or ship.
And one of things my SIL has requested is gift cards for my brother to get new clothes. Apparently his boss (not sure if new or old, I bet old) told him he dresses like a slob. Which, funny! I'm so used to seeing him trashed out, seeing him in a suit was funny.

My mom wants a Nintendo DS, but my sister already had a present for her and my brother isn't coming home or getting presents for them until March, and I wasn't willing to spend that much on my own. Other than that, I'm not sure what to get her...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me. But now I am home and in inside pants, so life is better.
I also got my mother cookie sheets and a three month Flowers of the month subscription.
