Tonight my friends Carrie, Marissa, Sabrina and I got together for our Christmas Party at Carrie's house. We met up around 5:30pm and immediately ordered pizza, lol (we were starving and I probably could have eaten more than my fair share, but I didn't). While we waited for it to arrive, we poured our drinks (there was Italian Blood Orange soda-which I drank-sparkling apple cider and champagne) and gathered around the dining room table where our gifts were separated and waiting to be open.
When asked what I wanted by my friends, I didn't make a huge list. I've been trying to cut back on my spending and that really means to buying a lot of books and movies.
Marissa got me:
So says the back of the book:
While the teenage werewolf Kalix MacRinnalch is being pursued through the streets of London by murderous hunters, here sister, the Werewolf Enchantress, is busy designing clothes for the Fire Queen. Meanwhile, in the Scottish Highlands, the MacRinnalch Clan is plotting and feuding after the head of the clan suddenly dies. As the court intrigue threatens to escalate into all-out civil war, the competing factions determine that Kalix's vote is critical to assume leadership of the clan. Unfortunately, Kalix isn't really into clan politics-laudanum's more here thing. Even more unfortunately, Kalix is the reason the head of the clan ended up dead, which is why she's now on the run in London.
She also got me this at Macy's:
Apparently her brother was with her and when asked if he thought I would like it (which, I think is a little strange, only because I don't really know Marissa's brother), opened one of the boxes to make sure the chain was long enough for me so that I could actually wear it if I wanted. And believe me, I will be wearing this, lol.
And up-close shot of the Ariel charm. So cute.
From Sabrina:
Oh yeah, I was really hoping I got this movie, lol. I've wanted it since I first saw it in theaters and have been waiting for the dvd release. The funny thing is that Sabrina actually put this movie on her own Christmas list and got the dvd from Marissa, haha. *has a fangirl moment* Now I can watch Bones at home, XD
From Carrie, I got:
Now, it's no secret that my favorite attraction at Disneyland is The Haunted Mansion. Madame Leota is one of my all-time favorite Disney characters. I believe Carrie said she found the artist who made these on Etsy, and bought herself a Mr. Darcy necklace, or something. She said she had ordered the earrings a long while ago and has been dying to give them to me. They are so awesome, lol, and I can't wait to wear them.
As an early birthday gift, Carrie also gave me:
I made a comment about how I love books on random, trivial information, so that's what I got. They are short little books, but I'm looking forward to reading them and then sharing the information with anyone who will listen, haha..
