Helloooooo everyone and Happy (belated) Christmas!

Between coming back from a two week Japan trip and Christmas, I have to say I had a very nerdy holiday this year.

I got:

- an adorable new keyboard (I had been using a 5 Below one for the longest) that lights up, and computer speakers

- several new figures from Apothecary Diaries, The Witcher, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Super Sonico

- Most of the Chainsaw Man manga, NaNa Volumes 1-12, and a few dirty manga LMAO

- Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson, Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman, A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher, and Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb

- LEGO sets: the Master Sword and Shield, a Gameboy, and a huge Mario and Yoshi

All in all, I have to say all of this will keep me entertained for a while. Show/tell me what you got!! Also, if you have read any of the books I got let me know your thoughts (NO SPOILERS)!

There’s someone being quite spoiled there… 🤭

What should I say? That I got waaayyyyy too much chocolate and candy, it is so. I made several compositions with fir and pine branches and received two lamps to lighten up my day, one is a plug for bottles and one is in form of a unicorn 😇🦄
Oh not forget, a glass globe with a perpetual rose and a figurine of a deer. 🦌😁
And my ol’horse in topform, had nothing better to do than make a breakout plan….

I can’t give an opinion on any of the books… a spoiler? All starts fine, then through a happening all gets complicated to give in to a happy ending afterwards, no? 😁🙄

My diet this week has consisted of chocolate and cookies. I have no complaints.
Coal! Because I have been naughty.
Most of my friends are far away and procrastinators like myself so I don't know yet. 😆


Irl friends I got a journal and Very nice pen set, a thicc book (the will of many) a body scrub/lotion/wash set. So like lots of self care items really and I'm so grateful 😇.
And like a 5 pound bag of chocolate that will be gone by the new year because, "I gotta eat all my snacks so I can commit to being healthy by the first." Hahaha 🤣
Mostly clothing, like a lot of pajamas (Cinnamoroll PJ pants were the highlight) and some fuzzy socks... Gonna be comfy-cozy forever :3
Also a really cool Danganronpa hoodie!!! And a specific Beetlejuice cup that I'd been wanting but was always sold out when I went to the store... A good amount of chocolate and candy as well ^.^

I got a bunch of self care products as gifts, as well as I brought a bunch home from Japan. I am set on face masks for days. I have been living on a diet of chocolate and cookies. I want it out of my house as fast as possible lmfaoo

I got an ADORABLE Cinnamon Roll hoodie in Tokyo!
I've been wanting to read dungeon crawler carl, I started reading the webcomic and I cant keep waiting for it to update!

For christmas I got
- A pair of wireless headphones (my old pair had a LONGGG cord that kept getting caught under my chair- and some wires got exposed. eek!)
- A kindle E-Reader, If anyone has any book suggestions lmk!! I recently read project hail mary and i've been OBSESSED.
- Candy :)

My sister also took me to universal Orlando earlier this December. I'd say that was the best Christmas gift. We went to this special event after-hours where Islands of adventure and universal studios were at limited capacity and all the food was free. Then we went to the new epic universe park, which was AWESOME to see for the first time. Monsters unchained was definitely my favorite ride at that park.

I did not really celebrate Christmas this year traditionally and didn't receive any gifts, but I bought myself an embroidery hoop stand!

It's made stitching while snuggled up on the couch with candles and a movie so much nicer! :D

8am as I stare at the tub of chocolate instead of the almost expired eggs. 😆


😆 😆 😆
Blues-Guy bought me (read: us) us a new DeLonghi espresso machine! He also got me a pretty necklace! :D
I bought him a vintage console stereo he was eyeing at a local thrift shop. XD
A few days after Christmas (I was out of state), but I got a new dog. A friend's coworker was moving overseas right after New Years and things didn't work out with the family who was going to keep her. I agreed to take her in when I got back and picked her up yesterday.

I went on a sunday and that seems to be the day with the lowest amount of people there. we were able to ride all the rides, and as it got later the park cleared out even more.

I don't do a lot for Christmas, but my parents did very kindly get me an instant pot, which was at the top of my wish list. I'm VERY excited to make quick stews and soups. I'm a bit of a boring adult like that. xD

I got a few other bits and bobs from friends, including gift art by Kruhee of one of the MCs of my novel from Devindria, and another friend got me the game Dispatch. I'm grateful for all of it. <3

I have an InstantPot, I mostly use it to make my dog food, but I totally understand your excitement. I got a cordless vacuum and I about cried when I opened it, that's how I know I am getting old LMAO
