new towels and washrags, new pajamas, new sweater with a tank top to go under it, shower gels and body lotions, coffee and coffee cup, magnet, new fleece blanket...

shea-infused fuzzy socks (which I shall try out soon), 25 dollars from the grandparents, and a 200 dollar check from the parents. @__@

that explains the whole "we were too good to you" thing.

so, once I get paid again, and take care of bills, I should be able to get the lappy.

awesome!

indeed! if it means I don't have to wait 'til income tax, then I'm happy. ;cause then I can just that to get this lappy fixed up as a backup in case I do something stupid to the new one. XD;
