What Did Santa Bring You?

first of all, i want to thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes.  you really  made it a special day.  it was like opening dozens of presents all day.

so....want to know what santa brought me? the norovirus .... clearly i wasn't that good of a little girl this year.  next year, i'd rather have a piece of coal in my stocking...thanks.  (after reading the cdc report, now i'm worried that i infected everyone else.  i was compulsive about the washing of the hands and it's not like i touched any food).

but santa wasn't totally a bad-ass to me though.  maybe he felt bad because he got me a new camera ...

i'm still reading the manual.  unfortunately, even a brilliant piece of equipment like this can't make up for the fact that it's too dark to take a decent picture.

and i also got this ...

A PEANUTS INFLATABLE SNOW GLOBE!!!!!  yes, i wanted one of these and the fact that santa actually listened to me once mention how much i wanted on, makes me all warm inside.  since i didn't open it until christmas day, it probably won't make it outside this year, but i love it.  i know it's not the classiest thing, but i think it'll look very festive with the backhoe.

The last line has me ROFL! Sorry about the virus. Hope you are better now.

Noooo... not the snow globe :-)
Norovirus was not.fun.

[julia fc]

Yeah for snowglobes! (what must those chinese factory workers think of us, eh?)
A Noro virus? I clicked on it expecting to be directed to yarnmarket or a knitty.com surprise. No fun. Better now?

Happiness is a ginormous Charlie Brown snow globe. I'm happy to report that I'm not feeling any ill effects from having spent a lovely day with you. can't wait to see u tomorrow!

[Kat]

Loking forward to seeing the snow globe in action. Santa gave me the norovirus a few years ago. Hope you feel better soon.

You are officially allowed one inflatible lawn ornament, especially a cute Peanuts one. More than that and I'm coming over here with a sharp pin.

Feel better!

I like the inflatable globe - there was one on our local news like it (Peanuts and all) because someone stole it from a yard. There were no more available when they tried to replace it, but someone who saw the story replaced it for them.

Great camera, too. I can't wait to see the pictures from it!

[Martha]

Hope you're feeling better!

N_I_C_E camera. DO NOT use it inside the inflatable snow globe, though.

[carolyn]

god i would love to drive by your yard and laugh at that thing!

[JulieFrick]

Must take photo of backhoe with new camera! Grey day be damned!

[claudia]

There it is...a D80! So exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures if the sun ever comes out again.

Nice camera!! Sorry you were sick though.

[grumperina]

You lucky dog, you! About the camera, that is, not about the virus...

[Bookish Wendy]

I can't believe you got it! I had Norovirus thrown up all over me and I avoided it. I'm so sorry you didn't...it's killer in a kid, I can only imagine what it's like for an adult!

[Debbie]

Norovirus? Geez, that sucks. I hope the camera and snow globe contain some necessary antibodies to help your recovery along.

[Cheryl]

A D80! Doesn't get much better than that! Well, except the inflatable snow globe.

[Suzanne]

Poor thing on the virus! Shows what I know; at first I thought norovirus was related to Kureyon or some such. Lovely gifts!

[Cathi]

I'm so sorry that you got sick- but it looks like you got some kick ass presents!

[Carol]

Hope you feel better soon! I had that 3 weeks ago & still coughing a little. Overall, looks like Santa thought you were very good! Love those snow globes!

[Carole]

I'm sorry you were sick! I hope you're well soon.
