My older sister is one sneaky momma. I'm going to have to get her good. She bought my presents under my nose and I was completely oblivious. Regardless, all is well. My gifts were well received, especially the book of Britishisms that I got for my sister as she goes abroad in a day. She spent all evening searching for terms to use on us folks; it took repeated urgings of her to really carefully peruse the entry of "wanker" before she accepted that it really was A CURSE WORD that she shouldn't be using on her sister, brother, or brother-in-law when she was annoyed at them.

Also, I have a portable DVD player! Now I can watch stuff instead of talking to my family on the trip upstate tomorrow. And plenty of DVDs to watch on it. Yippie! I'm very excited about this one as it means that I no longer need to schlep the computer around if I want to watch my DVDs en route to places.

And I get to see some Gilbert and Sullivan with my mother this year as my biggest present. Woot!
