Did I, or didnt I tell that I bought from Etsy a while ago? 😕 I received my Turtle Pin today, and I am so pleased, it is extremly lovely, and very well done!

Now only the bag is missing, which is on my to knit list, which is like a mile long. Speaking of knitting, no progress shots anymore until AFTER Christmas, as receipients might read here.
I think I may have gone way overboard on gift shopping for my brother. The only psychological reason I can come up with is, that I bought so much to not notice that I am buying for one person less. I am not sure he deserves it, he is so aggressiv and so hard to handle. I got him a book (Glenkill), and a Playstation game (cant remember its name), Back To The Future DVD box and another DVD (A Fish Called Wanda) bedsheets (with elches on them), a huge plush hippo from Ikea, houseshoes (lovely kangaroo ones), and a jacket with a blouse (extremly expensive) from our Puma Store. Also, hopefully I will get done, with a pair of tiger socks for him. I am insane. But then, I am the only person buying him presents, so I think it is ok. I think it would be dead sad for him to not get anything or just a book alone. This is like the most unimportant fact in this whole sad situation: you are getting a lot less presents, once your mother is dead.

I was in a bookstore the other day & saw something perfect for my mother…for a second…then hole in my heart just opens up again. It stinks.
I make sure I buy lots of extra stuff for my brother too & my nephews. I want to see Christmas through their eyes. I hope your brother will appreciate all of his presents!

OMG! I forgot about that book…I read it after my Grandmother died…I think I still may have it in a box somewhere. I certainly do believe that consciousness survives the physical body…but I still require constant reminding! ::hugs:: to you too.
