Merry Christmas Eve!

[heavenly_pearl]

We actually celebrated Christmas yesterday, since my sister and her husband were in town. They just left a few minutes ago, but they gave me the best Christmas gift: a Nook Simple Touch! When Laura and I were shopping at Barnes & Noble on Black Friday, they had a fantastic sale on Nooks, and I mentioned to her that I had been thinking about getting one -- even considered taking advantage of the sale myself -- but since I had already asked her for a couple of Sims 3 expansion packs, I wasn't expecting her to buy me one, so that was a really nice surprise! Unfortunately, though, the digital manga volume I bought (Red River Vol. 15) apparently doesn't work on the Simple Touch. :( Guess I'll still have to eventually upgrade to a tablet if I want something to store a lot of digital manga on, but in the meantime, I downloaded the Nook app on my iPod touch so I could at least read the volume I already bought. To my surprise, it's actually pretty readable, even on such a small screen. It's not a permanent solution to my manga overflow problem, since I don't have that much room left on my iPod, but I suppose it'll do for now.

Any suggestions for non-manga books I might want to check out?

As for the rest of my gifts:

Money
Clothes (four dresses, a shirt, pajamas, a nightgown, and slipper socks)
Jewelry (two necklaces, four rings)
Lots of bath stuff (shower gel, bubble bath, etc.)
Britney Spears' Fantasy perfume set
Clinique facial cleanser
Two Sims 3 Stuff Packs (Movie Stuff and 70s, 80s, & 90s Stuff)
RWBY Vol. 1 (Never heard of it before, but I guess it's some kind of anime-inspired web series?)
Naughty/Nice make-up bag
Coin purse
Candy

I think that's about it. It was a pretty nice Christmas!

Oh, it's already been a year since he joined the family, but I finally have a photo to share of my cat, Angel:



Isn't he just the cutest? (He and my brother-in-law are buddies. ^_^)
