Advent Calendar ~ Day 11!

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?

 

I’ve never received a truly bad gift, I don’t think.  So I am going to change this.

 

11. Weirdest Christmas gift you ever received?

That would be the cassette tape in each of us kids’ stockings last year.  Each tape was a recording of a certain Famous Cartoon Character talking to one of us, personally. The character told me how cool it was that I was in Africa and that he heard I was interested in languages and that he hoped I was a good girl even though I was all grown up now.

 

See, the voice actor for that character was a patient of Dad’s. And the guy was stunned that we knew who he was, including his lesser-known roles. (“Are you kidding, Dad? He was that guy in that one episode of that show!* AWESOME!”) And happy.  And so he made us each a tape to sort of thank us for the recognition.

 

It was odd and sweet and I loved it. Thank you, voice actor!

 

 

And now for the Week o’ Happiness! What has made me happy today? Why, finding my old pirate story and reading through what I got done!  I’m not even wincing at my writing. I should write an ending for my little hobbit pirate.

Also my permanent account! I gotta get me a Christmas icon.

I know! I had a little extra money around and it was there and ... ICONS. I can totally do ONE OF EACH DOLL!

It's going to take some getting used to the fact that I can do all sorts of fun things with the blog now ... I rather like the boring layout I've had for years, but I do need to make some upgrades ...
