I was given the following from my immediate family:
*Pearl bracelet (with mini diamonds) ~ From Father/mother (price tag accidentally left on...WOW $$$$~~~)
*Gift certificate to Bloomingdale's ~ From father/mother
*Digital camera ~ From father/mother
*Home furnishings ~ from Mother/father
*More $$$ ~ from Mother/grandmother
*Book of Poems of what it means to have a daughter ~ from father/mother
*Banana Republic gift certificate + beautiful leather purse ~ 1 Brother & his girlfriend
*Gorgeous wool chevron-patterned purse from Banana Republic ~ 2nd Brother & wife
*Beautiful wool peacoat ~ From boyfriend (and more coming up, he says hmmm?)

Gifts from family to my doggie:
*Beautiful plush duck and two huge bones ~ Brother + girlfriend
*Beautiful ceramic fire hydrant doggie "cookie jar" ~ Brother + wife
(Great gift because a few weeks ago I had driven two hours just to get my doggie and my brother's GF's doggies white chocolate covered doggie bisquits, which I could now place in my doggie's "cookie jar"! )
*Huge box full of doggie gifts/toys & new doggie bed ~ from mother/father/grandmother

My gifts to myself:
*Trip to Sebastian in February
*Feathered wings for February...
*Pretty pink and blue wigs for fun! (Never played dress up with wigs before, but now....bwahahahaha...Las Vegas, maybe?)
*VERY expensive designer shoes
*Gorgeous voile napkins + lace napkin rings
*Unusual teapot
*3 track/jog pants + 2 tops to wear at the DZ before/during/after jumps
Will be buying a main, soon ~
*Probably more stuff...I can't remember

I gave many, many beautiful gifts to loved ones, but that is for another thread. Let's just say that I spent all the money that I would have spent jumping these last few months (and at a boogie) on everyone else. Seeing/hearing/reading about the smiles and happiness that it brought others made it all worthwhile. :)

I got to see my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. That was all I cared about having this Christmas, but I did get some stuff that I really did not expect.

I got..

*A comforter set because I was whining about having to sleep with my old ratty comforter.
*A sweater
*My mom made a cross-stitch of a poem about flying and converted the words so it was about skydiving. She cross-stitched little skydivers and everything. She framed it and now it's on my wall.
*More of my smell good stuff from Bath & Body Works from my sister (I was really wondering where I was going to get the money to replenish my stash)
*A couple of DVDs
*Candle stuff and a vase from my manager at work
*a "World's Greatest Aunt" hanging pillow from my nephew (That's my favorite gift this year b/c I hardly get to see him and it made me feel good)
I'm so funny I crack my head open!

My whuffo boyfriend took the initiative to figure out where the dz is and made the hour round trip just to buy me 5 jump tickets. I was impressed, he could have just put them on my account over the phone.

I also got some other things from him and my family, but they aren't nearly as exciting as that. I can jump with no guilt for a change! B|

My whuffo husband is so sweet! He got me....

a hook knife
"I love the smell of jet fuel" t-shirt
a closing pin necklace (with custom bead colors to match my new rig! :)Skydiving Survival Series dvd

Plus my 88 yr old grandmother, who was going to get me a cashmere sweater, instead decided to just give me the $150 bucks for jumps, how cool is that!! :)
I also got a new Palm Tungsten T3, yippee!! (Been waiting for that... ;))

Plus I got to enjoy 3 days of relaxation in front of a warm fire with my hubby and 2 doggies. Even though it was just us, it was still a great Christmas. :)

So _THAT_ is why that guy kept trying to wrap me in ribbons and put me in his sleigh.

I just thought he was some fat assed pervert - sorry - I'll just go with it next year.

Don't you just hate that? Been there. Done that. So I definitely feel for you, man. :|

But as I mentioned in a posting a little while back, with enough determination, persistance and desire, you might be able to overcome that opinion. :$

Good luck,
