Well, my new mouse works (only after installing the drivers online and restarting 50 times … the diskette alone did nothing) … but I made my pointer black, which is cool. The small size takes some getting used to … I just hope it doesn’t hurt my hand too much or something. And I wish it showed the red optical light … but oh well. Couldn’t find one that did on Amazon. Bah! I keep using the touchpad instead of the mouse — bad squishy.

I made off like a bandit this year (in Brian’s words). Take a look:

Ross:
- plantPassion soap

Aunt Ann and Ed:
- stocking
- Count The Stars “Never Be Taken Alive”
- A Santa Cause (CD)
- Love Actually soundtrack
- laptop mouse

Uncle Chris and Mary:
- Nickel Creek “Nickel Creek”
- cow mousepad
- horse paperweight

Grandpa and Mary:
- $75 Gap gift card
- Love Actually soundtrack (duplicate: he gave me money for a different CD)
- A Very Special Christmas 3 (CD)
- Sounds Of The Season (to me, Ross, and Dad)

Grandma:
- LL Bean winter coat
- $50 Gap gift card
- beaded necklace and bracelet
- gift of 2 llamas to a needy family (to me, Ross, and Dad)

Brian:
- Good Charlotte poster
- Rammstein “Herzeleid”
- faerie shirt
- sapphire necklace
- pink fire pjs and slippers
- DDRMAX2 with pad (yay!)
> PS2 (that I have to share with him )

Brian’s parents:
- gray Old Navy fleece
- engraved jewelry box
- heart charm bracelet
- stocking

Wow, could it be that the new mouse gets rid of my textarea scrolling problem in Blogger? Score.

And wtf, why am I still up? I’m not really tired for some reason, but I guess I should go to bed anyway … otherwise I’ll just like fall over early tomorrow night (and that would be bad). So yeah … adios.
