Let's see...so far I've gotten the following pressies:
From my BFF and her husband - a gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous book of medieval illuminations, and an 8G Lisa Simpson flash drive that will comfortably fit everything I've written with lots of room to spare.
From my dear friend Tracy - two pair of stunning rosewood knitting needles, a funky little CD of classical/bluegrass fusion starring Yo Yo Ma, and an "I only date superheroes" mug.
From the muses - a day where I wrote 2500 words on a pinch hit fic for an exchange.
From the Triple Felinoid - group-greetings and some dirty looks when I didn't feed them enough.
From my company - a $25 iTunes gift card, which I've been using to purchase Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday, and L'Arpeggiata songs.
Still to come: gifts from my friend Mal (we're exchanging Friday when we go up to Stockbridge to the Alex Ross exhibit at the Norman Rockwell Museum), and presents from my apprentice and my choir director (Sunday at practice).
Best of all, I have a job I love, co-workers I respect, a family of choice that is my rock and support, a roof over my head, food in the pantry, and decent health. *Those* are the things that matter, and I thank God every single night for them.
