Finally have someone interested in moving in! She's going to come over after New Year to see the apartment, and I hope she decides to move in, because if not, then I have to move out by February 1st. D: And there's nowhere to go except back to my parents'.
Oh, this Christmas did not majorly suck like I figured it would. Times are hard all around and I told everyone last year, if you're going to spend money, spend it on the younger kids, I don't need anything. Well, after Thanksgiving my dad tells me he has the perfect gift that he knows I'm just going to love. The only hint he'd give me was, it's smaller that a car, and bigger than an atom. Gah! I hate surprises when I know I'm going to get a surprise! So of course anticipation was high, and I really figured that would be the only thing I was getting. Turned out it was the complete new series of Doctor Who!!! And I also got seasons one and two of Sanctuary! Those were the big three--I've gotten really into Sanctuary but I missed almost all of season one, so that was nice. And of course they got me a bunch of Burt's Bees stuff, some Pomegranate and Soy shampoo (Best. Shampoo. Ever. I don't even bother with conditioner anymore.) Assorted lotions and facial cleanser (the Willow Bark and Soap Root Cleanser, combined with the Royal Jelly Night Cream is better than anything else I have ever tried; I almost never break out anymore, ever.) And of course the lip balm. It's expensive stuff but it's the one thing I do to treat myself, so ever since last Christmas they started using it as stocking stuffers for me. Burt's Bees is awesome.
And a few days before Christmas, my brother asked me if I wanted to switch computers with him. He had a laptop, but he's moving in with his fiance and she already has a lap top, he wanted a desk top. So of course I said yes, because I have been wanting to get rid of that thing and get a laptop for years, but I could never afford to buy one. And, as an added bonus, I can mooch off a neighbor's wifi so I can actually use the internet at home. I'm telling you, it's a novel experience to surf not only at home, but in bed. Or the big comfy armchair my sister's mother-in-law gave me. So, as long as the roommate thing works out, and I manage to find an awesome job that pays better than I make now and doesn't leave me in a state of panic all the damn time, everything'll be awesome.

And the DVDs, and the computer switch -- does this bode well for 2011? :)
