I like avast for my anti-virus stuff.
I got:
New Airbrush
New Air Compresser for Air Brush
Best Buy Gift Card $75
Two gift cards for stores I have never shopped at in my life $35.
Walking Dead Vol. 1 & 2.
Ear Muffs.
20 questions hand held computer thing.
Candy and chocolate.
A plain ticket to Dever to have XMas with my brother and mom. Snuck the "amlost wife" with me in the over head. =P
Not a bad year. My brother and mom went crazy on gifts for her tho. She got like $200 in best buy gift cards, a silver wrist charm thing from Tiffany's, this fake leather bill fold thing made by hand by vegans, and some strange USB internet game toy by brother got her because he thought it would be funny. OH and we each got custome stockings for over the fire place.
I knew I was getting the airbrush and compresser. Its all I wanted. But they got much better ones then I had asked for. My brother said "I looked at them, and thought, what one would I buy myself." My mom got out even better tho, my brother hooker her up with books and things, and even some money so she could buy a plane ticket and see some more of the world. Alaska there she goes.
And I hope you all had a very happy Xmas, and a happy new year.

*makes notes on who's houses she will be 'visiting' to loot, er, borrow items from*
AM & I bought ourselves a digital camera this past Saturday. So far, many pictures of the dogs.
I got:
iPod nano (the small print on the tag read 'not a ring' :chuckle: )
slippers - really needed a new pair. There were 3 sets of slippers opened yesterday morning, it seems they were a needed item this year.
CD- Pearljam
CD- Velvet Revolver
CD- Live at Planet of sound 3 put together by a local station with proceeds to go to FoodShare. Bands that come through here on tour are invited to a local studio to play for a room full of fans who win seats. Then the best songs are chosen to be included on this live version CD (http://wm08.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fjfexzqhldje). I have volume 2 (http://www.fye.com/WCCC-Live-at-Planet-of-Sound--Vol--2-Front-Page_stcVVproductId7359654VVcatId455366VVviewprod. htm) but not volume 1.

DVD- Pirates of the Carib. 2

sweaters
Small magnatized calender the frig I use for bill payment reminders- Cat version
Page-a-day calender of Dogs. I love calenders *shrug*
Barns & Noble gift card
Sweatshirt & towel & tote bag with cats on it
A santa hat with sequins (I wear a santa hat for all of December so now I have a fancy dressy one and an everyday wear one)
CD travel case to bring my music to work
AM's Nana got me a card that said 'granddaughter'... that ment a lot to me. $25 in that card, not like she has tons of $$ to spare either.
AM's parents gave me money on top of the gifts, I scolded them for giving me cash as they do not have the money to spare either. (the same amount they gave both their son's BTW) I also threatened to use the cash for Mother's/Father's day!
I know I'm missing some but I'm functioning on several less than stellar nights of sleep. Need nap.
Socks. (From my mom and my aunt. Yes, I really do request socks.)
DVD set -- Planet Earth BBC series

Fancy Australian licorice

Most of these gifts I actually bought myself, even those that were given to me by someone else. Such is the state of things right now. Ah, well, it's the thought that counts. :D
Smackdown vs Raw 2007 for the PSP
Xenosaga the Animation, volumes 1 and 2
Boxed set of Eureka Seven
A silly little clock that lights up with LEDs and changes to a stopwatch, alarm mode, and thermometer setting when you flip it over.
Memory upgrade for my laptop
My sister also got a memory upgrade for HER laptop (which is the exact same model as mine) and her own copy of Smackdown vs Raw, so we can play each other. And my mom got Harry Potter (Order of the Phoenix), Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and National Treasure. We watched the first two Christmas Day. :D
